Piperine may help to increase the availability of key nutrients. It may also be useful for additional purposes such as support for weight and stress management.
Stress management support
Piperine increases the production of adrenalin and other catecholamines, which could make it useful for managing temporary stress. This use of piperine is often combined with buffered vitamin C.
Weight management support
Piperine may have thermogenic properties that increase the body’s basal metabolic rate. These properties may be useful in helping you to maintain a healthy weight.
Increase bioavailability
Key nutrients that piperine may make easier to assimilate include beta-carotene, curcumin, selenium and vitamin B6. It may also enhance the assimilation of amino acids.
Additional benefits
Piperine may provide other benefits such as supporting the digestive system and maintaining healthy breathing patterns. It may also help to manage joint conditions and stomach ulcers.
