A Quality Black Pepper Extract: BioPerine®
BioPerine® Black Pepper Extract (50:1) 20mg from Essentialseries is a supplement in vegetable capsules of black pepper extract, patented, developed by Sabinsa Corporation in 1996, and positioned over the decades as the absolute international reference in black pepper extracts with high piperine content. HSN’s formula combines a source of chromium in its composition to improve blood glucose control.
This patent has been used in hundreds of scientific studies since its launch. It is so established and considered the best option for black pepper extract that many people know the main active compound of black pepper not as ‘piperine’ but as ‘BioPerine’. Sabinsa’s patent has been manufactured with the quality of HSN’s dietary supplement control and production process.
HSN’s black pepper extract uses the best raw material for this extract, with a high unit concentration of 20mg per vegetable capsule.
BioPerine® is the Reference Patent in Piperine
What is BioPerine® and Why is it So Recognized?
BioPerine® emerged as a revolution in the field of dietary supplements, as it is a very important phytonutrient: Piperine, from a natural origin in a very high concentration.
This has made researchers in the field of the botanical use of plant species for nutritional purposes choose this raw material for its high purity and practicality; and over time it has firmly established itself as the absolute market reference.

BioPerine® can be defined as a natural extract of black pepper fruit grown sustainably in India, which is concentrated 50 times more than its original raw material and provides a guaranteed and high purity content in the main bioactive of the species: piperine. It is also a GRAS recognized ingredient in the USA, is suitable for vegan, kosher, halal diets, and has not been treated with genetically modified organisms.

HSN Formula – With Chromium for Optimal Effectiveness
At HSN we have not limited ourselves to encapsulating the BioPerine® raw material, but we have added our personal touch to the product by adding a significant amount of chromium picolinate, as this element is important for maintaining blood glucose balance.
Enjoy the maximum effectiveness of the product thanks to HSN’s formula composition, more complete while maintaining the essence of the purest quality black pepper extract, without complex compositions.
Development Without Animal-Derived Additives – In Vegetable Capsules
In HSN’s formula, we have added good things like chromium picolinate, as well as the use of high-capacity vegetable capsules to contain the 20mg of BioPerine®, precisely dosed in each unit; but what we have not added is anything bad.
Our product gives you more, with less; it does not contain animal additives in its formula, making it completely suitable for vegan diets, and it is also more clean label, as it barely contains additives, and those it does contain are nutritional compounds, like leucine which helps prevent clumping of the content; or calcium phosphate, a mineral salt used for the same purpose.
No long ingredient lists or products full of additives! HSN’s BioPerine® is a simple and effective development.
High Concentration: 20mg of BioPerine® per Capsule
Black pepper extract, specifically piperine as its main active compound of interest, has a variable usage dosage between approximately 5 milligrams and 20mg, this being the reference dose for single-ingredient products, where piperine is not present as part of a complete and global formula, but as a single compound intended to be combined with other nutrients according to the user’s interest.
Many market products, due to lack of research and ignorance, are universally dosed at ‘5mg’, which means losing part of BioPerine®‘s potential; at HSN we are committed to scientific research and have evaluated the use of different dosages for our product, opting for the higher concentration that guarantees effectiveness and safety for its effective combination with other products like turmeric extract, vitamins, or amino acids.
With just one vegetable capsule you will get all the benefits of the highest effectiveness of black pepper extract in your nutrition.
Sustainably Cultivated Black Pepper from India
Black pepper is a plant that, like any other, must be cultivated, harvested, and treated according to the necessary quality criteria to obtain a good product.
Given the culinary interest that black pepper arouses, used as a spice in all cuisines of the world, and whose Indian origin is the most appreciated, Indian black pepper has been exploited, and the plantations of this species are causing a great negative impact on the environment and natural surroundings of the region.
At HSN we reject both exploitative agriculture and livestock in all our products and do not use raw materials that do not meet quality criteria, not only nutritionally, but also ethically; hence our herbal extracts are prepared with sustainably cultivated plants, something that Sabinsa also guarantees and which has made us choose without a doubt, BioPerine® as the best patent.
Key Compounds to Use with BioPerine®
Piperine has traditionally been used in combination with many other compounds, which is why it is present in so many HSN formulas and other brands, the most frequent compound being: Turmeric extract, but not all combinations with pepper extract are limited to turmeric, other options are:
- Resveratrol.
- Plant extracts like turmeric, ashwagandha, cayenne and Ginkgo biloba.
- Vitamins of the B group and Vitamin C; fat-soluble vitamins: A, D, E, and K.
- Lycopene.
- Lutein and zeaxanthin.
- Citrus bioflavonoids complex.
- Amino acids (BCAAs and Essential).
- Minerals and Trace Elements.
Always have HSN’s black pepper extract on hand to combine with your favorite compounds!
Why Use an Extract and Not Regular Black Pepper?
Black pepper extract (BioPerine®) is standardized, meaning the piperine content of the patent is standardized, it is always the same.
This is very positive since there is no variability, unlike what happens with the traditional black pepper fruit, which, not being standardized, can have very variable piperine concentrations depending on the harvest, soil, irrigation, exposure to environmental factors, etc.
In addition, BioPerine® extract has a high purity of around 98.5% in piperine, while the native black pepper fruit has about 5% piperine content.
In summary:
- To take advantage of the nutritional and physiological effects of black pepper: The extract is the best option.
- To take advantage of its culinary applications, giving flavor and pungency: The fruit (whole or ground) is the ideal option.
