Risk and analytical results

hazardObserved
Based on this level of 7.5 mg piperine (max daily dose) a concern related to an increase in plasma cholesterol levels cannot be excluded. It also does not take account of other dietary contributors of piperine such as from black pepper and from the use of the flavouring substance FL-no: 14.003. In addition, there may be individuals in the population who may already have high cholesterol and who may be at higher risk from consumption of this supplement.
