Now I've done a lot of videos on salts and different herbs but I haven't done one on pepper.

Pepper is one of the most common herbs.

And there's something really really good about it and there's something really really

bad about it.

Now I want to talk about that.

Now the main phytonutrient in black pepper that gives you the big benefit is called

piperine.

And pepper can actually give you some relief if you have a stomach ache.

It can improve certain neurotransmitters in the brain by a small degree but it still has

some effect on the neurotransmitters.

It also has a little bit of an anti-inflammatory effect.

It has a small amount of vitamin K, iron and magnesium.

But the biggest benefit of black pepper, specifically of this compound right here, is that

it helps increase the bile availability of other compounds up to 2,000%.

So it's very good if it's in combination with certain things and not very good if it's

in combination with something very toxic.

Because what it does is it inhibits a certain chemical process in your liver that normally

gets rid of drugs and herbs in certain compounds.

So when this process is inhibited, you will retain and absorb more of drugs and herbs

in certain compounds.

But on the positive side, it can actually really improve the absorption of curcumin,

selenium, B12, B6, and vitamin A. So that's very cool.
