SCS - Why does BioShield MD not use Black Pepper extract to help better absorb the turmeric?

BioShield MD contains powerful polyphenols and antioxidants found within the EGCG Green tea extract, Resveratrol, and Quercetin ingredients.

When combined with turmeric, studies show that the use resveratrol and quercetin increase the permeability and absorption of Curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric). 

Quercetin inhibits enzymes in the body that deactivate curcumin’s antioxidant properties and allows for improved absorption. 

Black Pepper extract is widely known to help the uptake of curcumin and acts as an inhibitor, just like quercetin!

While they are different extracts, they share similar properties when combined with turmeric. 

Not only do they help with the uptake of curcumin, but they also provide antioxidants to combat free radicals, inflammation, and oxidative stress levels.
