Black pepper extract is derived from the fruit of the black pepper plant (Piper nigrum) and contains piperine, one of the best-known bioactive plant compounds. It has been a popular ingredient in functional formulations for many years.

Unlike ground pepper, the extract provides a concentrated amount of piperine, which is why it is widely used in premium dietary supplements and functional beverages.

Today, black pepper extract is most often found in combination with turmeric, forming one of the most popular herbal extract compounds in the world.

Black pepper extract

A small ingredient with a precise purpose

Black pepper (Piper nigrum) may look like a familiar culinary spice, but its principal alkaloid, piperine, has made black pepper extract particularly interesting in functional formulations. One of the best-known areas of research is the interaction between piperine and curcumin: studies have shown that piperine can markedly influence curcumin bioavailability, which is otherwise naturally limited. That does not mean more black pepper is automatically better — the form, concentration and overall formulation matter. At xdose, black pepper extract is therefore used with purpose. It can add a subtle warming character, but in the right formula its role goes beyond taste. This is a good example of our formulation philosophy: even an ingredient used in a very small quantity should have a clear reason for being there and should make sense alongside the other functional components.
