In reply to Bioperine/nardil combination maybe? Any feedback? » myco, posted by swoody on March 26, 2009, at 23:49:03
Ah yes....the word Bioperine throw me for a loop there for a second...this is black pepper extract ok I remember. Yes this extract is good at increasing bioavailability...I have read good things about it but never tried it by itself. I know many herbal supplements will have it mixed in if you look at the ingredients...they put it in for this very reason. Do be careful ok though with sups/herbs with Nardil. Lil side story here...I had a theory that some enzymes in the stomach and intestine that sulfonate - essentially aid in breakdown and excretion of chemicals and toxins in foods might be hindering Nardil bioavailability...ok so I researched and found that green tea extract contains a substance EGCG that inhibits these enzymes...so I though hey add this green tea extract to inhibit the sult enzymes and mabye increase nardil response...bad idea...panic/anxiety/bp issues....so be careful when playing with MAOI's. Research alone is not enough because they dont know enough about these old drugs. Take the supplement in small doses first ok...see how you feel then move up. Hate to see you in a bad position like I was...it sucked

> Thank you very much for your reply... you are right... I may be jumping to conclusions too soon before I know how it is really going to work for me. On a side note, you mentioned different things you can take to increase bioavailability, absorption, etc... I had been researching a little bit, and came across Bioperine which supposedly greatly enhances the absorption of vitamins, minerals, meds, etc...) and supposedly it helps a great deal... I am going to research a bit more, but it is good food for thought to have something that will stretch my dollar in case I need to keep upping the dose (as so many people end up doing). Maybe someone else has had experience with Bioperine and Nardil combinations? It would be interesting to hear feedback on this combination... thanks again!
