Our Black Pepper Co2 Extract is the centerpiece of our absorption enhancing complex. This extract is completely unique and the only kind of its type being produced in the world. It contains 50% piperine, which is well known for its absorption enhancing properties. Piperine is documented to improve the absorption of curcumin by 2000%<sup>1<sup>. curcumin and cannabinoids are both fat soluble compounds. Lesser known, is a component of black pepper called guineensine. Guineensine is a novel endo-cannabinoid re-uptake inhibitor2. This means it can prevent the breakdown of anandamide and 2AG, our bodies own cannabinoids it uses as neurotransmitters. This is how it can greatly extend the duration and effects of our tinctures. Since we started adding this black pepper extract to our tinctures the onset time of effects was two times faster and duration two times longer. Our theory is that piperine is going to enhance the efficiency of absorption of all oil soluble ingredients. Guineensine is going to multiply the entourage effect through its cannabimimetic action.
