PRIMARY STUDY

Viphyllin TM, a Standardized Black Pepper Seed Extract Exerts Antinociceptive Effects in Murine Pain Models via Activation of Cannabinoid Receptor CB2, Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-Alpha and TRPV1 Ion Channels

Key Findings:  A standardized black pepper seed extract (i.e., Viphyllin) containing not less than 30% β-caryophyllene may be a safer analgesic compound then opiates or NSAIDs.
