BioPerine and Curcumin Absorption: How It Works Right Now

A Patented Black Pepper Extract

BioPerine® is a patented extract derived from black pepper fruit, standardized for its content of piperine, its key active compound.

The Absorption Problem It Solves

Curcumin, on its own, is notoriously poorly absorbed by the body — much of it can be eliminated before it ever gets to work.

How BioPerine Helps

BioPerine is studied for its ability to significantly enhance curcumin's bioavailability, meaning more of each dose is actually utilized by the body.

Why It's Essential to the Formula

Without an absorption enhancer like BioPerine, much of the turmeric in a joint supplement's formula may go to waste, making this a critical, if less glamorous, ingredient.

Bottom Line

BioPerine in CartiVex is included as an absorption enhancer, helping the other three ingredients work more effectively together.
