I am going to start taking chrysin to up my testosterone naturally because I want to build muscle. I read in a journal that piperine, an extract from black pepper, hugely increases the potency of chrysin (http://www.health-n-energy.com/ARTICLES/chrysin.htm). i don't want to have to buy piperine, so is it readily available in the necessary amounts in black pepper? or does it need to be extracted from more black pepper than one could reasonably consume (i can eat a lot of pepper)?

  1. Piperine, black pepper’s active ingredient, is the culprit in such nose irritation. But it shouldn’t be sneezed at: this alkaloid may have anti-carcinogenic properties. Along with its cancer-fighting potential, piperine may enhance the bioavailability of some nutritional substances and drugs as well as have anticonvulsant properties. Though piperine’s sneezy effects may be unwelcome in the nose, they are a boon for breaking up congestion.
