Piperine is a substance found in the outer layer of the black pepper fruit and is responsible for its spiciness. This substance is widely used in weight control diets due to its slimming properties, but it also influences our metabolism in various and very healthy ways.

What is Piperine used for? 

Piperine has many properties, including significantly improving digestive processes, increasing the secretion of digestive, pancreatic and intestinal juices in our body. Also, it increases the bioavailability of many nutrients by regulating the enzymes that metabolize them, making the nutrients remain in our body for longer.

Scientific studies show that:

• Piperine has highly relevant antioxidant activity
• This substance has immunostimulating properties
• Its supplementation has an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect
• It is a curcumin bioenhancer
• It is a potential molecule for disease prevention and management

Why should we take Piperine? 

Piperine is an antioxidant, which is very important in our body because it protects us from cardiovascular diseases, hypertension or diabetes. Likewise, it promotes thermogenesis, which is the consumption of energy that the body allocates for processes such as digestion, absorption, transport, metabolism, and storage of nutrients.

It is also considered a natural anti-inflammatory that can be very useful in joint problems.

What foods contain Piperine? 

Piperine is a nutritional chemical compound found on the surface of different species of pepper, but especially in the fruit of black pepper ( Piper nigrum ), extracted from tropical plants grown in India.

How and when is Piperine taken? 

Piperine can be taken as a combined preparation or as an independent food supplement. It is usually available in cellulose capsules and a dose of no more than 60 mg per day is recommended.

With one dose of MIND you can achieve all the benefits mentioned above.

How does Piperine work in the brain? 

In addition to being an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, it acts as a neuroprotectant and bioenhancer of other nootropics. Improves the assimilation of nutrients, in particular curcumin (active principle of turmeric) up to 20 times. It also improves the absorption of other beneficial nutrients for the brain such as calcium, selenium, vitamin C and vitamin B6.

This is why we always recommend getting the most out of the benefits of our products with the synergy that POWER and MIND offer together.

Piperine increases the production of beta-endorphins and serotonin, has a positive effect on dopamine balance, and protects nerve cells.

What are the side effects of Piperine? 

In general, it does not have side effects, however, people with digestive disorders may present an acceleration of the acid secretions of our stomach, which is why it can cause irritation to the mucous membranes in those who already suffer from gastritis, esophagitis, gastric ulcers or have heartburn.
