Organic Black Pepper Extract
The active ingredients of organically farmed black pepper (Piper nigrum) are condensed in a form called Organic Black Pepper Extract. This natural extract is high in piperine, the primary bioactive ingredient that gives black pepper its intense flavor, potent scent, and medicinal properties. It is extracted using mild, solvent-free methods such as steam distillation or water-ethanol extraction.
Organic farming guarantees that the pepper berries are grown without the use of artificial fertilizers, pesticides, or chemical additives. After that, the dried berries are processed utilizing organic-certified extraction techniques that maintain the extract's strength, purity, and inherent antioxidant profile.
Organic Black Pepper Extract is nutrient-dense and rich in potent plant compounds.
