Black pepper often referred to as the 'king of spices' and used in ancient Ayuvedic medicine for thousand of years due to its high concentration of potent plant nutrients. It contains a great source of potent antioxidant called piperine, which may help fight cellular damaged caused by free radicals, improve digestion and the absorption of essential nutrients and beneficial plant compounds.

Recent laboratory studies also suggest that black pepper may be effective on regulating cholesterol levels, appetite, blood sugar, and brain and gut health.
