Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

In vitro, the treatment with EGCG plus piperine enhanced the expression of SOD as well as GPO and also reduced the production of proinflammatory cytokines.

Here, we report that cotreatment with a second dietary component, piperine (from black pepper), enhanced the bioavailability of EGCG in mice.
Piperine (100 micromol/L) inhibited EGCG glucuronidation in mouse small intestine (by 40%) but not in hepatic microsomes.
Piperine appeared to increase EGCG bioavailability by inhibiting glucuronidation and gastrointestinal transit.

It has also reported that Piperine may have good inhibitory effect on PAR2 and at the same time when used in combination with EGCG may improve its bioavailability thereby enhancing its efficacy in breast cancer treatment. (

In conclusion, our results demonstrated a combination of PIP and EGCG exhibited strong anti-adipogenic and lipid lowering effect than individual treatments due to synergism.
Treatment with PIP and EGCG (20 µM each) significantly (p<.01) inhibited cell differentiation, lipid droplets deposition and enhanced glycerol release in 3T3-L1 cells.
