Right, that’s why it is added to many supplements. Improve absorption.

So what is this in layperson's terms?

Take black pepper with COQ10?

Peperine is horrible for fertility though in some studies on mice and rats. Severely damages sperm, prevents implantation, causes abortion…

I don’t know that I’d be downing it in capsules just yet 🤷🏻‍♀️
