This product is hydrogenated from piperine, a substance occurring naturally in the fruits of black pepper and long pepper.
Tetrahydropiperine (THP) can be used to treat convulsion, epilepsy, relieve pain, and control insects. In addition to these uses, THP can enhance absorption of function elements by skin organizaion. This property can help medicinal ointments and cosmetics to penetrate the skin more rapidly and effectively. Thus, THP is a necessary raw material and intermediate for many medicines in pharmaceutical industry.
THP primarily operates to increase the effectiveness of the product’s bioavailability. Compared to  traditional enhancer Azone, THP is natural ,nonirritant, low solvent consumption, low cost and fast infiltration.  0.01%-0.1% of THP in a product is enough to increase absorption by skin significantly
