About Piperine

Piperine is the alkaloid that makes black pepper (Piper nigrum) hot. Ours is 98% pure.

It’s best known for raising the absorption of other compounds.

How it acts in research models

Piperine inhibits drug-metabolizing enzymes such as CYP3A4 and glucuronidation, and the efflux pump P-glycoprotein. That keeps other compounds in the body longer.

It also activates TRPV1 and TRPA1, the receptors behind its heat.

Published Piperine research

Shoba and colleagues reported in 1998 that piperine raised curcumin absorption by about 2,000% in people. Other work covers its effects on drug metabolism and fat cells.

It’s sold as BioPerine in many supplements.

Piperine sizes and forms

Choose the option that fits your study:

• Tablets, 25mg per tablet/100ct/2.5g: $12.01
• Powder, 10g: $16.37
• Powder, 20g: $30.60

Each tablet holds the same measured amount, which the size option spells out.

The powder is the bulk form, for labs that weigh their own amounts. Use a milligram scale for accuracy.

How labs use it

Botanical and mushroom research usually starts by checking the extract’s marker compounds, such as polysaccharides, alkaloids or flavonoids, then moves to cell culture or animal models of inflammation, immunity or metabolism.

Extracts vary by source and method, so labs keep to one batch through a study and record the standardization on the label.

Endpoints depend on the plant: immune markers and cytokines for mushroom beta-glucans, glucose and lipids for metabolic botanicals, or behavior tests for calming plants.

Purity and batch testing

We test each batch for identity and purity before it ships, using HPLC and mass spectrometry, with independent third-party checks on top of our own.

The batch number on the label matches the certificate of analysis. If your lab keeps paperwork on file, ask us for it and we’ll email it over.

Storage and shelf life

Store capsules, tablets and powder in a cool, dry place out of direct light, with the lid closed tight. Write the date you opened or mixed it on the label, so anyone else in the lab knows how old it is.

Working with it safely

Handle it the way you’d handle any research chemical: gloves, eye protection and a clean bench. Don’t eat or drink where you work with it.

Keep it out of reach of anyone who isn’t trained, and dispose of used syringes, vials and wipes according to your lab’s waste rules.

Supplies to have on hand

• a milligram scale, since powder has to be weighed
• a suitable solvent if you’re making your own solution, such as DMSO or propylene glycol
