We chose to use BioPerine, a patented extract with documented data to support its beneficial effect in curcumin bioavailability. Piperine, the active compound contained in black pepper, has been shown to facilitate an increase in absorption when it is delivered in concentrated form. There is simply not enough of this active compound found in whole black pepper for it to be effective.
