Piper Nigrum, commonly known as black pepper, has been utilized in traditional practices like Ayurveda, Unani, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. In Ayurveda, black pepper is considered a “tridoshic” spice, balancing Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas. The Charaka Samhita and Shennong Ben Cao Jing reference its use in supporting digestive health and overall vitality. It was traditionally referred to as the “King of Spices” due to its versatility in both culinary and medicinal practices.
Traditional and Scientific Uses:
- Supports nutrient absorption
- Supports healthy digestion
Study Overview:
One of the primary benefits of piperine is its ability to enhance nutrient absorption. Piperine has been shown to increase the bioavailability of nutrients such as curcumin, resveratrol, and beta-carotene by inhibiting enzymes that metabolize these compounds in the gut. By improving nutrient absorption, piperine may support effects of other dietary supplements and ingredients.
