Bioperine™ is a patented, standardised black pepper extract (Piper nigrum) containing a minimum of 95% piperine. It is one of the most widely used bioavailability enhancers in supplement manufacturing, added to formulations to support the absorption of other active ingredients. Its research background and trademarked status make it a recognised and credible choice for combination products.
Bioperine™ functions as a bioavailability enhancer, supporting the absorption of nutrients and other actives within a formulation. Given its black pepper origin, it also carries an association with digestive support.
Common applications include:
Most commonly paired with curcumin, it also works alongside vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts and amino acids wherever formulators want to support nutrient uptake. Because it is effective at very low inclusion rates, it adds functional value with minimal impact on formulation complexity.
Bioperine™ works across all standard supplement formats. Its low inclusion rate means it rarely creates formulation challenges regardless of the delivery system.
Capsules – One of the most common formats, allowing straightforward combination with turmeric, botanicals or other actives where bioavailability support is the goal.
Tablets – A strong format, particularly in multi-ingredient products where accurate dosing is important. Regularly used in joint, wellness and vitamin tablets.
Powders – Well suited to greens blends, protein powders, pre-workouts and functional drink mixes where it supports absorption of other ingredients in the blend.
Softgels – A practical option for oil-based or extract-led formulations, particularly alongside curcumin or other lipid-soluble actives.
Gummies – Workable at the inclusion levels typically used, though less common. Can be added alongside vitamins or botanicals in wellness gummies.
