Piperine has been shown in studies to reduce the risk of cancer by neutralizing free radicals within the body as well as eliminate reactive oxygen species. Both free radicals and ROS can cause cellular oxidative stress and may lead to some cancers as well as early onset of aging, and certain genetic mutations. Piperine also has the ability to stimulate the pain-sensing nerves and this gives pepper its’ pungency. Piperine also aids in digestion by triggering pancreatic and gastro digestive enzymes that will chemically break down the food that we have consumed. Piperine is such an important part of the human diet (in the form of black pepper) and because it is a natural product, there are fewer side effects associated with piperine as a medicine. Natural products as medicine are so important because they allow pharmaceutical companies to research their effects without so many associated risks and can lead to the development of synthetic, modern pharmaceuticals based on the characterization of the natural products. The research of natural, medicinal products leads to many medical
