Black Pepper Extract
(Piper nigrum)

Main benefit:
Absorption. Bioavailability. Digestion. Detox. Circulation.

Origin and Source:
Harvested from sun-dried peppercorns grown in tropical South India, Piper nigrum is more than just a kitchen spice — it’s a powerful bio-enhancer with ancient Ayurvedic roots. At NØØT, we use a concentrated extract standardized to 95% piperine, the active compound responsible for boosting nutrient absorption at the cellular level.

 

NØØT Classification:

Black Pepper Extract is a Bioavailability-Enhancing Phytogen, used not for its direct health benefits, but for its ability to amplify the effectiveness of other compounds. It’s essential in NØØT formulations where absorption, activation, and delivery matter most — especially in stacks focused on inflammation, detox, metabolism, and cognitive performance.

 

Key Benefits and Science

Bioavailability Amplifier

• Shown in studies to enhance absorption of nutrients by up to 2,000% — especially with Curcumin, Resveratrol, and Berberine.
• Works by inhibiting enzymes that break down active compounds too quickly, allowing them to stay in the bloodstream longer.

Synergy with Curcumin

• Without piperine, Curcumin has notoriously low bioavailability — but when paired with Black Pepper, absorption skyrockets.
  
• This makes the combo a go-to in protocols for inflammation, joint health, and cellular repair.

Metabolic Enhancement

• Supports thermogenesis and digestive efficiency, helping compounds metabolize more effectively.
  
• Traditionally used to stimulate digestive fire (Agni) in Ayurvedic medicine — helping you “digest” both food and medicine better.

Detox + Barrier Support

• Helps regulate intestinal permeability, ensuring that nutrients cross the gut wall efficiently without triggering inflammation.
  
• Often used in detox protocols to ensure maximum uptake of plant-based compounds.

 

Why It’s Good for You

Black Pepper Extract is the key that unlocks the full power of everything else. Without it, many powerful compounds are only partially absorbed or quickly broken down. By enhancing bioavailability at the molecular level, this simple extract ensures that every active ingredient in a NØØT formula delivers what it promises — from Curcumin’s inflammation control to Berberine’s metabolic magic.

 

Usage

We don’t dose Black Pepper as a standalone — it’s always stacked strategically to increase the performance of other hero ingredients. At NØØT, you’ll find it wherever precision absorption matters most — especially in blends designed for longevity, hormonal balance, detox, or inflammation support.

 

Why We Include It in NØØT Formulas

• Essential bio-enhancer for improving the absorption of Curcumin, Berberine, Resveratrol, and more.
  
• Enhances potency without increasing dosage — smart, efficient, and evidence-backed.
  
• Cruelty-free, filler-free, and standardized to 95% piperine for clinical-grade performance.
  
• Used in metabolic, anti-inflammatory, and detox protocols across both Eastern and Western wellness systems.
  
• Third-party tested for purity and potency — because what gets absorbed, makes the difference.
