Plant
Long pepper
Piper longum
Long pepper, black pepper's elder sibling in Ayurveda, carries piperine that eases the formula's actives past the gut wall and into circulation.
What the evidence shows
Every line below is carried on the blend page that makes the claim. Follow it to the pathway and its sources.
Long pepper's piperine slows the enzymes that break compounds down in the gut wall and liver, letting more of every ingredient here reach the blood.
Long pepper's alkaloid raises reactive oxygen inside the cell until it begins consuming its own damaged parts. Mop the oxygen up, or delete the gene that starts the clearing, and the effect vanishes.
