High-purity piperine is needle-shaped or short rod-shaped light yellow or white crystal powder. b) Resent medical studies have shown piperine to be very helpful in increasing the absorption of certain vitamins such as Selenium, Vitamin B and Beta-Carotene. Piperine apparently has the ability to increase the body's natural thermogenic activities. Thermogenesis is the process of generating energy in the cell. Piperine increases thermogenesis and in turn creates a demand for nutrients necessary for metabolism. This so far has been particularly helpful for patients who are sick or aged with defective intestinal lining.
