Piperine is an active compound that occurs in black pepper - one of the most popular spices used worldwide. It is the piperine that gives pepper its distinctive strong, spicy aroma and taste. This compound can be effectively used to support the nervous system as it significantly increases bioavailability of many other herbal ingredients that do not absorb very well on their own, e.g. curcumine that absorbs 20 times better when mixed with piperine. Besides that, piperine exhibits antioxidant properties which means that it helps to protect cellular structures, including DNA, from harmful effects of free oxygen radicals. Moreover, it might be a good support in weight reduction because it helps to regulate metabolism in fatty cells and stimulates lipid breakdown. In addition to that, piperine shows potential as a nootropic ingredient that supports the nervous system. It inhibits the activity of acetylcholinesterase that breaks down acetylcholine. Hence, the density of this neurotransmitter in synapses is higher. On top of that, piperine increases the level of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the hippocampus. In effect, long-term memory and the ability to acquire information is improved.
