Discover the 5 effects of piperine, the powerful alkaloid that is the soul of every peppercorn

Piperine, also known as Bioperine, is a substance found in every black Kampot peppercorn. It is an alkaloid that is able to contribute to improving our physical health thanks to its undeniable benefits. And it does this in many ways. Let's take a look at the 5 most common ones!

Nutrient absorption

Piperine has the special power of helping to increase the body's ability to absorb nutrients. This means that the nutrients we consume are much more easily handled and utilized by the body. Examples include turmeric and the curcumin it contains, but also vitamins A and C, selenium, vitamin B6, beta-carotene and others that do the same meritorious work.

For example, try our new .pepper..shot, which is full of beneficial natural substances, and which contains turmeric and the best, dark red Kampot pepper. 

Faster metabolism

Increased nutrient absorption leads to improved metabolic processes in the body. Thanks to improved thermogenesis, the body breaks down fat cells more easily. If a person consumes piperine for the purpose of losing weight and at the same time follows a proper nutrition plan, this substance can greatly help the weight loss process.

Production of dopamine and serotonin

Piperine is instrumental in the increased production of these two substances, which help in a person's overall mental well-being and hence a better mood. Don't expect miracles, but it never hurts to make your day a little more pleasant with a little pepper. We have a wealth of ideas on how best to use pepper right in our recipes!

Better memory

If you often forget, piperine can help here too. Serotonin and beta-endorphin play a significant role in memory. The higher presence of these chemicals in the body makes our brain function better and trains its memory. You just have to remember to have that pepper every now and then. ☺ At the same time, piperine is able to support other mental functions such as attention or reasoning skills.

Immune system support

Our immune system can have slow but also too fast reactions. Piperine can get the reaction time of lymphocytes to the right level, thus contributing to the better health of our body. Besides, it is also able to relieve stress, which also takes a toll on health.

Also note that neither Kampot pepper nor other exceptional and healthy ingredients are the saviors of our diet or lifestyle. Although they bring many health benefits, in case of real health problems, it is always the best way to find a doctor.
