Biopperine: Boosts Absorption, Enhances Bioavailability
What is Bioperine® and why is in your favorite fat burner?
That's a good question. You don't have to look too far to find Bioperine® gracing the labels of many fat burners on the market today. Products like Lipo 6, Fizogen's The Burn, Lipoxinol, Tight and Lean System 7 (one of the few products we actually recommend on this site) all contain Bioperine® within their formulas.
And Bioperine®, a patented extract of the black pepper and long
pepper berries harvested in India, is there for good reason.
Bioperine®'s value is that it has been established to enhance the bioavailibility
of certain supplements through increased absorption.
In other words, when combined
with Bioperine®, numerous vitamins, minerals, amino acids and anti oxidants are
more effeciently absorbed and utilized in the body.
One particular study (see Nutrition Research (1999):19(3) 381-388) revealed
that when Bioperine® was administered with beta carotene, it resulted in a 60%
increase in blood plasma levels of beta carotene over the control group.
Another one (see J Nutr Biochem. 2000 Feb;11(2):109-13) showed Bioperine® boosted plasma levels of coenzyme Q10 after supplementation.
Because of its ability to create enhanced and more efficient means of nutrient
transportation into the bloodstream, Bioperine® may have an positive effect on
thermogenisis, which would lead to a slightly elevated metabolism.
That notwithstanding, Bioperine®'s real, proven value is in it's ability to enhance
the absorption of various nutrients -- and that is the main benefit it provides to any fat burner
compilation.
