Botanical Source: Capsicum annum L. or Capsicum frutescens L. (Chili Pepper)
Used Part: Fruit (Pod)
Active Components: Standardized for Capsaicin and related capsaicinoids (Dihydrocapsaicin, Nordihydrocapsaicin)
Appearance: Fine powder, ranging from light orange to deep red in color
Potency Measurement: Often expressed in % Capsaicin, % Total Capsaicinoids, or Scoville Heat Units (SHU)
Solubility: Soluble in ethanol and oils; dispersible in other carriers.
Our specialized process focuses on maximizing capsaicinoid yield while controlling for consistency and purity:
Variety Selection & Sourcing: Cultivation of specific chili pepper varieties with known, high capsaicinoid profiles.
De-Seeding & Preparation: Removal of seeds and stems, using primarily the pericarp (flesh) of the fruit for extraction.
Solvent Extraction: Use of food-grade solvents to efficiently extract the lipophilic capsaicinoid compounds.
Concentration & Purification: Removal of the solvent and refinement of the extract to increase potency and remove fats/waxes.
Standardization & Blending: Precise analytical adjustment to meet target capsaicinoid concentration levels.
Carrier Blending & Drying: The purified extract is often blended with a carrier (like maltodextrin) and spray-dried to create a stable, free-flowing powder that is safe to handle.
Potency Verification: Final product is rigorously tested via HPLC to confirm capsaicinoid content and SHU rating.
This extract is primarily used for its targeted physiological effects:
Metabolic & Thermogenic Support*: Promotes temporary increase in energy expenditure and fat oxidation as part of a healthy diet and exercise regimen.
Appetite Modulation: May contribute to feelings of fullness and support healthy appetite control.
Topical Warming & Comfort: When applied externally in creams or patches, it provides a warming sensation that can support muscle and joint comfort after exercise.
Antioxidant Activity: Chili peppers are a source of carotenoids and flavonoids that offer antioxidant protection.
