Pippli also known as Piper longum aids digestion, and significantly increases absorption of nutrients, and enhances assimilation of other herbs and drugs. Pippli acts as a mild irritant on gastric mucosa, and helps to stimulate production of acid and enzymes in the body. Pippli's action stimulates Hydrochloric acid (HCl) which makes it useful in cases of inadequate HCl production. The Ayurvedic texts list Pippli as one of the most powerful Rasayana herbs, meaning it is a longevity enhancer.

• It contains piperine, an alkaloid that enhances the absorption of beta-carotene, vitamin B6, Vitamin C and selenomethionine found in foods and can increase the absorption of other nutrients, herbs and medications.
• Various studies have also revealed the whole fruit may have anti-allergenic properties.
• Piper longum's irritant action increases gastric juice secretions and its hepatoprotective action has been observed that it may counter toxin induced liver damage.
• Pippli aids the digestive process by increasing gastric acid and enzymes and is also useful in allergic and asthmatic conditions.
• It is a wise choice instead of Betaine HCL. It may be of advantage, however in cases of achlorhydria or severe hypochlorhydria to initiate treatment with a digestive enzyme, like Bio-gest (Thorne Product) and then continue with Pippli.
