Carlyle Bioperine 10mg | 120 Capsules | Non-GMO & Gluten Free | Sourced from Black Pepper Extract | Supports Curcumin Powder Absorption

I have been an RN for 39 years, and have studied nutrition and supplements over the years. This particular supplement is from black pepper and helps your body absorb other supplements better by blocking liver enzymes which cause other supplements to be metabolized more quickly. You will quite possibly notice your other supplements working better when you add this one to your regimen.

A good product, a good price and fast delivery.

I've used this supplement for a long time now and always been satisfied with it. However, the last time I purchased it, I noticed that a lot of the capsules weren't completely filled, in fact, several were quite a bit under filled. I'm not sure if that's a dealbreaker. I am giving them one more purchase to see if the last one was a fluke since it had never happened before. I hope so. But if the new one I'm about to purchase has these same issues, I'll be forced to find a new brand. I'm convinced they work in conjunction with my turmeric supplement to control inflammation, and I'm nearly pain free since incorporating these supplements into my diet. I do find that since taking these supplements, my body craves more black pepper on my food. Not sure if that's a coincidence or what, but I found it interesting.

I've been taking it with tumeric for a few months as recommended. But don't think it really does anything. Just another hype

I take Turmeric Curcumin daily. To reap the benefit I need the black pepper extract in Carlyle Bioperine. It's useless to take Turmeric without it. It's what causes you to absorb the curcumins. I get the inexpensive Turmeric at Walmart. They seem to have one of the best prices. I supplement it with the bioperine.Now, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I get all sorts of wonderful healing from either of these herbs. I heard of Turmeric probably 25 years ago and started back then. I heard about the black pepper ext. shortly thereafter. A very well know cardiologist touted it way back then as a general anti-inflammatory/antioxidant that we all should take regularly. His theory was that Curry Powder, which is essentially what Turmeric is, was the key to why people in Southeast Asia (India) suffer much lower rates of heart disease.I'm sure you're all aware that Indian dishes feature Curry powder. I enjoy them too.I said at that time, What the heck. It makes perfect sense. It's a relatively cheap herbal supplement, why not? Hopefully it's giving me a little help for my Cardiovascular system. I think I'll need it since my genetics suggest that I'm very likely to face that pretty soon.I'm 59 and I started around 35 so with a little luck I'll have helped myself out. I'm not a big supplement guy but this one I am on the bandwagon with. You might want to consider it too. If you do don't forget about Bioprene.

works well

I take a lot of different herbs everyday.In fact, I buy powdered herbs in bulk and make up all of my own capsules. I like adding bioperine because it helps with absorption so I used to add ground black pepper to the bulk herbs.Black pepper is better than nothing but doesn't provide the levels of bioperine that I need. Now I take one bioperine capsule once a day with food.

At time of purchase did not notice on the label that the capsule was made from pigs feet so emptied contents and now just sprinkle the powder on my cereal.
