Swanson Bioperine Nutrient Absorption Enhancer 10 Milligrams 60 Capsules

According to my Doctor, is a compound of black pepper that gives it its kick with a history of use in Ayurvedic and Southeast Asicn medicine used as a general restorative tonic. Piperine has been shown to substantially increase the body's ability to absorb the nutrients in foods and supplements. It stimulates the absorption of nutrients through the intestinal lining, actually slowing down the action of the intestines in order to give the body ore time to absorb the nutrients present. ... Research has shown its can boost the bioavailability of the cancer-fighter curcumin substantially. This is important, since the cancer-fighter curcumin is not easily absorbed by the body. In addition to these complementary effects, piperine has been shown to have direct antioxidant, anti-tumor, and anti-inflammatory properties.*34 A recent in vitro study showed piperine is able to directly stimulate immune cells.**35 And in recent tests on mice, piperine was shown to inhibit the spread of breast canceer cells in vitro and in vivo.***36 It is generally recommended the dose is 20 mg/day of a brand called Bioperine Pipeine, which is a 50:1 standardized extract of the Piper nigrum fruit.

I feel amazing taking this!!! Was taking Curcumin for inflammation with no results. Added this and my knee pain from arthritis post-surgery is SO much better! I also take tons of supplements and am feeling really good after adding this!! More energy and less foggy. I am telling everyone!!!

I take this with my bhbs Every morning and it makes a amazing difference. If I take it without yes, it does help curb my appetite but when I take it with I feel more executive functioning turning on.

How do you rate a supplement? If it works, it just goes about doing its job, and chances are, you may not have a clue whether or not its working. The reason I use bioperine is that after using curcumin for quite a while, I discovered it does not readily absorb into the body without help. The most recommended ingredient to assist in the absorption is bioperine, which is effective and cost efficient. I've always trusted Swanson products, and the price is very reasonable. When I think of the money I wasted by not using it......Eccchhh!

Swanson Ultra's Bioperine helped to restore my digestive system back to normal after I messed it up consuming too many alcoholic beverages and consuming too much red meat! Before I started taking this product everything I ate seemed to quickly go out the other end. I wasn't absorbing anything and lost 25 lbs the unhealthy way. Now I quit the alcohol and my body is absorbing the calories it needs to rebuild the muscle that I lost. I use it in concert with MRM's Digest All! I highly recommend this product as a licensed Personal Trainer and Lifestyle and Weight Management Consultant. However,if you are over 180lbs like me I suggest that you take two at a time.

Good product, good price, and while I cannot prove that it helps nutrient absorption, my nutritionist says it does and since we do take quite a number of vitamins it certainly seems prudent to try and get the most from them. It has never bothered us in any way.

I have tried a few different supplements from Swanson and seen benefits and results. With these I’m not sure I seen anything. I have IBS and I’ve been trying to heal my gut. My stomach has a hard time digesting and absorbing nutrients. I got these supplements just for that. Using these felt like I took them just to take them. I didn’t see results with taking other supplements after these or absorption of nutrients from food.

I recently started taking this product when I learned it would help to absorb more of the Turmeric that I take. It has also helped to settle my stomach quite a bit as well. This I wasn't expecting but I am glad for it. I take other supplements and I am confident this product helps to absorb more of them too. So overall I hope to feel the effects of absorbing more of my helpful herbs and supplements sooner than later.
