Capsicum Extract Capsaicin Powder

Product Description

What is Capsicum Extract Capsaicin?

Capsaicin is extracted from the fruit of Cayenne Pepper. Capsaicin is active ingredient of chili peppers and belongs to the genus Capsicum.

Capsaicin is a compound found in chili peppers that gives them their spicy kick.

The highest concentration occurs in the seeds, making them significantly spicier than the flesh.

When consumed, foods containing this substance stimulate pain receptors in your tongue, causing the sensation of heat that most people experience.

Some people are more sensitive to capsaicin than others, which is usually related to how often they eat spicy foods. Your tongue adjusts to the sensation over time.

The heat of a given pepper can be measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHUs), which range from 0 to 15 million. For example, jalapeños measure about 2,500–8,000 SHUs, whereas habanero peppers hit 100,000–350,000 SHUs.

What Is Capsicum Oleoresin？

Capsicum oleoresin is a concentrated product extracted from chili peppers. It has a rich, spicy flavor and is often used as a seasoning. Besides the inherent spiciness of the chili pepper, capsicum oleoresin also contains hundreds of complex chemical compounds, including capsaicinoids, proteins, pectins, polysaccharides, and capsanthin. Capsicum oleoresin is not an illegal additive; rather, it is a food additive derived from natural food ingredients.

Capsicum Extract Capsaicin Benefits

1. Relieves Pain

Capsaicin is a known analgesic or pain reliever. It helps manage discomfort due to its anti-inflammatory properties. It also desensitizes the nerve cells that receive pain signals in your body.

Topical capsaicin improves pain associated with a wide variety of health conditions. For example, a systematic review found that cayenne-based creams were more effective than placebos at reducing lower back pain.

Capsaicin patches are also commonly prescribed for pain relief in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, a type of nerve damage that can occur in individuals diagnosed with diabetes. One study reported that using a capsaicin patch for 30 minutes significantly reduced patients’ pain, even weeks after the one-time treatment.

Topical capsaicin also seems to help manage discomfort associated with arthritis, cluster headaches, jaw pain, and psoriasis.

2. May Improve Muscular Endurance

Research on capsaicin supplementation for improved athletic performance has reported mixed findings.

One systematic review concluded that capsaicin supplementation had no effect on aerobic endurance, but did appear to improve muscular endurance. In other words, taking a capsaicin supplement allowed the study participants to exercise for longer before hitting muscle failure.

Researchers believe this is partly due to capsaicin’s effects on receptors involved in calcium release in the skeletal muscle. Calcium is required for muscle contraction. As your muscles become fatigued during exercise, their cells release less and less calcium.

Capsaicin supplements may mitigate the decline in calcium release by acting on specific receptors in the muscles. However, capsaicin supplementation for athletic performance is not routinely recommended.

3. Could Support Longevity and Healthy Blood Pressure Levels

One systematic review reported that people who ate spicy foods six or seven days per week had a 14% lower relative risk of all-cause mortality compared to people who ate spicy foods less than once per week.

While some research suggests that a higher chili pepper intake may help lower blood pressure levels, capsaicin’s effects on cholesterol may be less favorable. One study reported that a greater chili pepper intake was associated with higher levels of unhealthy LDL cholesterol and lower levels of healthy HDL cholesterol.

4. May Support Weight Management

Spicy foods like hot peppers are often called “metabolism boosters.”

Some research suggests that capsaicin can bolster energy expenditure (or calorie burn) and increase body temperature, both of which can contribute to weight loss over time.

Chronic consumption of spicy foods may also suppress appetite and reduce caloric intake, again resulting in weight loss.

However, some studies have shown opposite effects, with greater chili pepper consumption associated with a greater risk of obesity.

How To Take Capsaicin？

Capsaicin can be used in different ways. The plant compound naturally occurs in whole foods like chili peppers and cayenne powder, which can be added to your meals.

Capsaicin can also be taken as an oral supplement, either in capsule or extract form. While doses of up to 200 milligrams per day have been used, there are no standard dosing guidelines for capsaicin supplements.

Capsaicin is most effective for pain relief when used topically as a cream, gel, lotion, or patch. The amount of capsaicin in these products can vary, from 0.01% in creams and gels to about 8% in patches.

Uses of Capsicum Oleoresin

• Food

Capsicum oleoresin, due to its unique spicy flavor and pungent aroma, is widely used as a food additive, significantly enhancing the taste of food and stimulating appetite. In cooking, it can be used in a variety of ways, such as stir-frying, grilling, and pickling, to enhance the flavor of food.

• Medicine

Capsicum oleoresin has also demonstrated significant medicinal value in the pharmaceutical industry. It is used in topical ointments to relieve muscle pain and joint stiffness, and has shown potential for treating rheumatism and neuralgia. The analgesic effect of capsaicin makes capsicum oleoresin a significant advantage in pain treatment.

• Cosmetics

In the cosmetics industry, capsicum oleoresin is highly sought after for its unique stimulating properties and blood circulation-boosting properties. It is often added to weight loss products, massage oils, and anti-aging skincare products to help stimulate skin metabolism and enhance skin vitality. Its stimulating ingredients raise the skin’s surface temperature, thereby opening pores and improving the absorption of skincare products.

• Industry

Applying capsaicin to the hulls of ships prevents the growth of algae and marine life, while applying it to cables and wood surfaces prevents rats from gnawing on them. Artificial capsaicin is currently used in this field in my country.
