Capsicum

by Natures Sunshine


  • Added to many herbal formulas as a catalyst for the other herbs.
  • Good for digestion and blood flow.

Capsicum is found as an ingredient in many herbal blends because it helps increase the function of other herbs. It contains capsaicin (methyl vanillyl nonenamide), the fat-soluble chemical that gives hot peppers their heat.

Taken internally, capsaicin is thought to help proper digestion by stimulating the secretion of gastric juices. It is also thought to promote a healthy circulatory system. Recent research indicates the substance can inhibit the growth of cancers by causing cancer cells to self-destruct. Epidemiological studies suggest capsaicin may prevent gastrointestinal cancers such as colorectal and stomach cancer.

Each capsule contains 520 mg capsicum. The capsicum used in this product is a rich source of capsaicin, producing 35,000–45,000 Scoville Heat Units.
