Why Include Piperine?
We added Piperine because Piperine helps regulate absorbed (-)- Epicatechin from being pumped back out into the intestines. Piperine achieves this by regulating the function of p-glycoprotein, which is mainly responsible for pumping absorbed (-)- Epicatechin back into the intestines. Piperine also regulates glucuronidation of (-)- Epicatechin, which further promotes bioavailability.
