What is cayenne pepper?

Cayenne pepper is a powdered form of red chili pepper, a fruit from the Capsicum annuum family of plants. Known for its hot, spicy flavor, cayenne pepper is popular in Mexican, Cajun and Carribean cuisine. In Ayurvedic medicine, it’s used for digestive and circulatory health support.

How does cayenne pepper support health?

Cayenne pepper contains a high concentration of capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide), a natural alkaloid  that gives chili peppers their characteristic “heat.”
Capsaicin has been studied for its effects on pain relief, weight maintenance, cardiovascular health and more.
Contains vitamin A carotenoids, including beta-carotene, an antioxidant.
Contains vitamin B6, C and K, manganese and fiber.
