The Power of Bioperine®: The Little Black Pepper That Makes a Big Difference

When it comes to wellness, small things often make the biggest impact and Bioperine® is proof of that. It’s a patented extract from black pepper (yes, the same pepper that’s in your kitchen) and it plays a surprisingly powerful role in how your body absorbs nutrients.

At NÆRE, we’ve included Bioperine® in our formulation for one key reason: it helps your body get more out of every good thing you put into it. Because feeling your best shouldn’t depend on luck - it should depend on absorption.

Better Absorption = Better Results

Here’s the science in simple terms. Bioperine® contains piperine, a natural compound that improves how your body absorbs vitamins, minerals and plant nutrients.

Studies show that pairing Bioperine® with certain nutrients can supercharge their uptake:

Beta-carotene and selenium: improved bioavailability and antioxidant function.

B vitamins and herbal extracts: more consistent delivery and effect.

Curcumin : up to 2,000% better absorption when combined with Bioperine®.

In other words, Bioperine® acts like a “bioavailability amplifier” ensuring that the goodness in NÆRE doesn’t just pass through you, but actually gets to work.

A Little Black Pepper, A Lot of Brain Power

Early research suggests Bioperine® may also support brain health and cognitive function. A study has found that piperine improved memory and protected against damage to the myelin sheath - an insulating layer around nerve fibres in your brain and spinal cord. As such, piperine could have potential as a future therapy for people with Multiple Sclerosis.

For us at NÆRE, that connection runs deeper. Our Founder, Philippa, has long supported the MS Society, with family personally affected by the challenges of Multiple Sclerosis. In fact, she wrote her BSc dissertation, “The Invisible Disability,” exploring how MS impacts those living with it, often in ways the world can’t see.

So while Bioperine®’s brain-protective potential is still being studied, its promise resonates with our mission to support wellbeing where it matters most, the body and the mind.

Supporting Calm, Clarity, and Cellular Health

Bioperine®’s antioxidant properties help manage inflammation, the quiet disruptor behind fatigue, brain fog and sluggish recovery.

By helping balance inflammatory responses, it contributes to that steady, grounded energy we design NÆRE to deliver, not a spike, not a crash, but sustainable clarity.

Part of the NÆRE Philosophy

We don’t include ingredients for the sake of buzzwords. Every element in NÆRE earns its place. Bioperine® does so because it enhances how the body receives nourishment, amplifying the absorption of key nutrients already in our formula, like Selenium, Astaxanthin and key vitamins and minerals.

When your body absorbs more, you need less. That’s what smart supplementation looks like.

Bioperine® might be one of the smallest parts of our blend, but it plays a mighty role.
It’s a quiet catalyst, helping your body do what it’s designed to do: thrive.

And for us, it’s more than just a scientific inclusion. It’s a reminder that small, intentional choices lead to meaningful impact - in health and in research.
