Summary:
Piperine crystals extracted from black pepper (Piper nigrum) (image by impz, licensed under CC BY 3.0). Concerns have been expressed with regard to the safety of piperine because its structure is very closely related to several suspected carcinogens, i.e. safrole, estragole, isoeugenol and methyleugenol. However, evaluations have confirmed the safety of both Black Pepper and piperine in the diet, even at 250 times the normal intake. This has been further affirmed by non-genotoxic and non-mutagenic studies [187].
