Source Naturals BioPerine - Black Pepper Fruit Extract, Promotes Nutrient Absorption* 10 mg, 120 Tablets

This stuff is nice. I take it in the morning for an added health benefit. It seems to be working

I get by with a quarter of a tab per use, and use these not just for supplements but for whatever I want to maximally absorb. CBD, whatever. I assume it makes your meds get absorbed better, too - just factor that in.It increases the permeability of the small intestine - the main site of absorption. Ain't the stomach.The company is genius - they kept competitors out by keeping the price low.

I had some tumeric curcumin that did not contain black pepper. When I found out that this supplement helps absorbency of the tumeric, I didn't want to throw away my bottle of tumeric but by buying this supplement I'm able to use up what I have left until I can buy a product that contains both. I've noticed a significant difference between only taking the tumeric and taking it with this product. I get inflamed joints - in hands and knees mainly, and only on bad days (which is rare) do I need to possibly take any other otc meds. This product does not have much of any taste and I do not get any upset stomach or the like from it.

I can tell a difference when taking this with other herbs for the increased bioavailability of herbs / supplements. Do your own research, and see if this is necessary for you. Bioperine is well known for boosting Curcumin's (Turmeric) bioavailability but is also believed to be effective at increasing bioavailability for many other herbs/supplements. At the time of posting, Extensive research has not yet been published on the topic of increasing bioavailability of other herbs/supplements. I can tell it's effective for me at increasing bioavailability, and will be buying again. Wish it was cheaper for what appears to be a miniscule amount of bioperine per pill.

I use this as recommended by my rheumatologist to take with other anti inflammatory supplements.

These are definitely effective. But please talk to your doctor if you are on any medications or supplements. I am young and fairly healthy but take a couple of medications and ended up having acute liver problems after taking 2 of these a day for 2 days and had to go the ER. If you know what you’re doing these are definitely great and work, which is why I’m not leaving a bad review. Just be cautious!!

Not sure why you add stereates to a supplement for absorption

It was my observation that bioavailability of nutrients and vitamins was increased. I take this is conjunction with my favorite supp, olive leaf extract. Before I began talking bioperine, I had made the observation that a good portion of the olive was passing, unchanged, in my stool. With Bioperine, I can no longer detect the smell, or any other evidence that there was a supplement in my body that is not being digested
