6. Better absorption of nutrients
If you work a lot to eat healthy, you want to take advantage of every nutrient you eat, right? Pepper can help make it a reality. Piperine, this magical substance, increases the absorption of vitamins and minerals in food. Vitamin B, vitamin C, selenium and beta-carotene in particular are easier for the body to take if they are taken with a little pepper.
This is useful because, under normal circumstances, our body only absorbs a fraction of the nutrients that we absorb.
