Black Pepper Extract

Beyond its use as a condiment and in cooking, as contained in black pepper it is actually classified by many naturopaths as a very potent herb with many uses.

Its benefits also range from improving digestion to helping with asthma complications, to improving stomach ulceration, as an inflammatory agent and in serotonin production.

Studies have proven that piperine does increase thermogenic activity as it increases the body's metabolic rate, which does help weight loss, but to canonize it as a weight loss aid is exaggeration at this point and requires more studies to validate that premise.
