Frequently Asked Questions

What does cayenne pepper do in supplement form?

Cayenne's active compound capsaicin stimulates circulation, triggers thermogenesis (heat production and calorie burning), supports digestive function by increasing gut motility, and has natural anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. It has been used in traditional medicine for centuries for cardiovascular and digestive support.

What are Heat Units (HU) and what does 40,000 HU mean?

Heat Units measure the concentration of capsaicin in cayenne pepper. 40,000 HU is a moderate-high potency level — strong enough for meaningful therapeutic effect while being generally well tolerated. Higher HU means more potent capsaicin content and stronger circulatory and thermogenic effects.

Can cayenne help with weight management?

Capsaicin has been clinically shown to modestly increase metabolic rate and fat oxidation through thermogenesis. It is most effective as part of an overall healthy diet and exercise programme rather than as a standalone weight loss supplement.

Is Swanson Cayenne suitable for people with stomach sensitivity?

Cayenne can irritate the stomach in people with gastritis, ulcers, or IBS. Always take cayenne capsules with food. If you have a sensitive stomach or digestive condition, start with a low dose and increase gradually, or consult your healthcare provider first.

How does cayenne support heart health?

Capsaicin supports cardiovascular health by stimulating blood flow, reducing platelet aggregation, supporting healthy blood pressure, and providing antioxidant protection. It has a long history of traditional use for circulatory support.
