What the research shows.
“Landmark crossover study in humans (n=8 per group) demonstrating that co-administration of 20 mg piperine with 2 g curcumin increased curcumin bioavailability by 2,000%. A separate arm showed 20 mg piperine increased beta-carotene bioavailability by 60%. The mechanism involves inhibition of hepatic and intestinal glucuronidation.”Shoba et al., Planta Medica, 1998
“Review of piperine's pharmacokinetic enhancement effects across multiple human and animal studies. Piperine (5-20 mg) significantly increases the bioavailability of curcumin, resveratrol, beta-carotene, CoQ10, and several pharmaceutical drugs by inhibiting CYP3A4, CYP1A1, and P-glycoprotein efflux transporters.”Kesarwani & Gupta, Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine, 2013
