Are the supplements you take are actually absorbed?
-
If they contain Piperine (Bioperine), the answer is yes! Piperine is an akaloid found in black peppers. Piperine is unique in its effects on nutrient absorption because it may change the metabolism of certain compounds. One of these compounds is curcumin, which is the bioactive compound in turmeric. One study found that combining curcumin with piperine significantly increased its bioavailability!

Bioperine is beginning to be included in many supplements because it is effective at increasing bioavailability!
