use it
carefully to increase effects.
as maestro Swiss pointed out its the liver enzyme that causes Seti to lose approx 50% its effects. so inhibiting that (at your own risk) is the point it seems. Biopiperine as i have stated before allows extra bio-availability of supplements through digestion. But it would seem through way that of liver enzyme inhibition also. This means that it would have
a double effect of not only allowing more Seti to get into the bloodstream originally but also would stop the liver breaking down a lot of the seti
when I'm right- I'm really right. Swiss can have the Oscar at week-ends!
BIO-PIPERINE

Bio-enhancing Ability
It has been shown that piperine can
dramatically increase absorption of selenium,
vitamin B,
vitamin C,
coenzyme Q10 [1] and
beta-carotene, [2]. Piperine also increases the bioavailability of herbal and conventional drugs such as
resveratrol and curcumin [12]. Piperine favorably stimulates the digestive enzymes of pancreas which enhances the digestive capacity and significantly reduces the gastrointestinal food transit time.[3] The results of clinical studies of piperine with drugs indicate that piperine administered orally at a single dose ranging from 20 to 50 mg may significantly increase serum drug levels by reducing the clearance of drugs, from natural or synthetic source.[1]
The mechanisms by which piperine increases the absorption may involve increased gastrointestinal blood supply [4], postulated thermogenic properties [5] and the increase in bioenergetic processes [6].
Piperine can also
attenuate free radicals and
reactive oxygen species and has been shown to protect against oxidative damage
in vitro.[7]
Safety and Side Effects
Piperin has been shown to inhibit both human drug-metabolizing enzymes P-glycoprotein and CYP3A4 (possibly others too)[8] which may lead to
grapefruit-like effect. Inhibition of these enzymes decreases their ability to break down drugs which in turn increases drug blood levels and which causes worse side effects etc. Therefore, black pepper should not be consumed in combination with any drugs.
For example, it was shown that a single administration of 1 g of black pepper more than doubled area under the plasma concentration-time curve and elimination half-life of phenytoin [9].
Piperine can be toxic for the central nervous and reproductive systems at high concentrations [11].
