Another ingredient in Saba Trim Pro.... What is Bioperine? Bioperine is an extremely pure and safe nutritional supplement of piperine, an alkaloid from the fruits of the black pepper plant (Piper nigrum). Piperine is the active constituent responsible for peppers ability to increase the bioavailability of nutrients. Bioperine contains at least 95% piperine. How does Bioperine work? Piperine may promote rapid absorption of nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract. Because it is lipophilic (has an affinity for fatty tissue), piperine may interact with the lipid component of the intestinal cell membrane to facilitate enhanced nutrient permeability. Studies indicate that piperine may stimulate glutamyl transpeptidase, an enzyme that promotes amino acid uptake from the GI tract. Bioperines primary mode of action may be to enhance thermogenesis, the production of heat in the body. In the process of digesting food, energy is used. This results in the production of heat and the feeling of warmth that often accompanies a meal. Piperine has been found to stimulate the release of catecbolamines that initiate the process of thermogenesis in the GI tract, thereby increasing the energy available for digestion. In clinical studies, Bioperine appears to enhance the bioavailability of a broad range of nutrients including those that are water-soluble (vitamins C and B6), fat-soluble (beta carotene), as well as amino acids (selenomethionine) and herbs (curcumin). It has been proposed that Bioperine functions as a local thermogenic agent, increasing thermogenic reactions in the GI tract, which facilitates enhanced bioavailability of a broad range of nutrients.
