Cayenne Pepper Capsules
Part of our Capsules range, manufactured and exported by Arizone International LLP.
Cayenne Pepper Capsules are supplements made from ground cayenne chilli, a hot variety of Capsicum annuum. The capsule lets people get the benefits associated with capsaicin, the compound that makes chillies hot, without the burning mouth that comes with eating large amounts of spicy food.
Arizone International manufactures and supplies Cayenne Pepper Capsules for nutraceutical brands, weight-management and circulation product companies, private label sellers and distributors.
From Chilli to Capsule
Chilli peppers originated in the Americas and were brought to India by Portuguese traders in the sixteenth century. They spread so fast that India is now the world's largest producer, consumer and exporter of dried chillies, with Guntur in Andhra Pradesh being one of the biggest chilli markets anywhere. Cayenne refers to a thin, bright red chilli with strong heat, named after the city of Cayenne in French Guiana.
Chilli heat is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Cayenne powder used in supplements typically ranges from around 35,000 to 90,000 SHU, although higher-heat grades are available.
What Cayenne Contains
- CapsaicinoidsMainly capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin, responsible for heat and most of the research interest.
- CarotenoidsSuch as capsanthin and beta-carotene, which give the red colour.
- VitaminsChillies are naturally rich in vitamin C and vitamin A precursors.
- FlavonoidsPresent in smaller amounts.
Applications
Capsaicin has been studied for its effects on thermogenesis, the body's heat production, and on appetite. Cayenne also has a long folk reputation as a circulation herb. It is used in:
- Thermogenic and weight-management supplements
- Metabolism blends with green tea, ginger or apple cider vinegar
- Circulation and heart wellness formulas, often with garlic or hawthorn
- Digestive stimulant formulas
- Private label sports and fitness products
Capsule Design Matters
Cayenne capsules can cause a burning feeling in the stomach or "repeating" if they dissolve too early. To reduce this, we can use enteric or delayed-release capsule options, recommend taking capsules with food, and choose fill weights and heat levels suited to your market. Capsules are usually filled with 400 mg to 500 mg of cayenne powder or with a capsaicin-standardised extract.
Safety Notes
People with stomach ulcers, acid reflux, gallstones or irritable bowel conditions should avoid cayenne supplements. Capsaicin may interact with blood thinners and some blood pressure medicines. Workers handling the powder need masks, gloves and eye protection, as the dust is highly irritating.
Quality Considerations
- Heat level in SHU or capsaicinoid content by HPLC
- Screening for illegal Sudan dyes and other colour adulterants
- Aflatoxin and ochratoxin testing, as chillies can carry mould toxins
- Microbial load and heavy metals
- Pesticide residues
Tips for Buyers and Formulators
Specify the heat level in Scoville units, and consider enteric-coated capsules to reduce stomach burning.
Tell us the capsule size and capsaicin level you need, and we will suggest a fill weight that suits it.
