Sabinsa Corporation today announced that it has secured a patent in Canada for its branded ingredient Bioperine^®, a standardized piperine composition derived from black pepper extract. Patent #2,247,467 protects the use of piperine as a bioavailability enhancer and affirms that Bioperine is the only black pepper extract that can legally be used in nutritional supplements for the purpose of enhancing the bioavailability of nutrients in Canada.

"The Canadian patent for Bioperine represents over 10 years of concerted and sustained effort, and we are particularly pleased with the successful outcome," stated Vladimir Badmaev, M.D., Ph.D., vice president of scientific and medical affairs, Sabinsa Corporation.
