Anyone concernced about piperine? It's in a lot of supps (piperine/bioperine) - am I reading these studies right? In one of the studies piperine is shown to have 'in vivo anti-androgenic activity' and another 'decreased intratesticular testosterone'. However in the third it shows an increase in testosterone.
Anyone have any insight or opinions on this? Doc H included. In the one rat study a 10mg dose was used which caused seminal/testicular disturbance.
