Piperine

Which substances does piperine enhance the bioavailability of?

The bodily absorption of curcumin depends a lot on which product you select. Curcumin in turmeric has very poor bioavailability [2], meaning you would have to use huge amounts to get any nootropic effects. Thankfully, scientists have figured out how to safely administer curcumin to people in a way that's bioavailable and effective.

Consuming piperine with curcumin has been shown to increase its bioavailability with 2000%. [3] Around 3-20mg of piperine with 500-2000mg curcumin is commonly used when combining these nootropics.
