Piper nigrum is the botanical name for the black pepper plant. Native to South India, this climbing vine produces small peppercorns that are harvested, dried, and ground for culinary and medicinal use. Beyond its pungent flavor, Piper nigrum has been valued in traditional systems of health for supporting digestion and circulation. In modern supplements, it is most often used for its active compound piperine.
Piper nigrum is used with Curcummin to help increase bio-availabiility and absorption.
