Piperine's Effects on Absorption

[GreenMachineX]

Hey everyone,
Does anyone know how quickly the effect of piperine on absorption works? Does it only work when taking something in a similar time frame, or does the enhanced absorption last for days or even longer? Thanks in advance!

It will only aid in absorption of something that requires inhibited cyp3a4 liver enzyme. So when that enzyme is inhibited, something like tumeric extract would absorb a lot better. Not everything one could take would benefit from the inhibition of that liver enzyme.

I thought I heard 3-4 hours. The official manufacturers website says to dose it 3x a day if that’s what you need. I wouldn’t count on it lasting longer than a day for sure

Right, but how long is that enzyme inhibited? There's powerful drugs that are affected by that enzyme.

My pleasure bro!

I believe (but am not certain) that piperine increases the absorption of certain PDE5 inhibitors. So does naringin.
