Capsaicin

Capsaicin

Capsaicin is the substance in hot peppers that causes a burning sensation. When eaten or used topically, Capsaicin stimulates pain receptors, leading to feelings of heat. Applied to the skin, Capsaicin helps alleviate aches and soreness. It is often combined with menthol to create a cooling-warming sensation on the skin.

Health Benefits

History & Traditional Use

Capsaicin

Modern Science & Research

Capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) is a Capsaicinoid, part of a group of plant secondary metabolites that are responsible for many of the key properties of Capsicum. This phenolic compound contributes to the characteristic taste and pungency of peppers. 

It is a non-narcotic analgesic, a voltage-gated sodium channel blocker and a transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) agonist, all of which contribute to its pain-relieving properties. 

Most modern research into Capsaicin focuses on its topical use to relieve pain. It works by stimulating pain receptors throughout the body, which reduces sensitivity to pain.
