About Cayenne Chilli Powder
Cayenne is a hot chilli pepper, dried and ground into a fine powder. Native to Central and South America, it is now used worldwide for both flavour and wellness.
The heat comes from capsaicin, the active compound behind most of its health benefits. It is a thermogenic spice and antioxidant, high in vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium, with only about 6 calories per teaspoon.

Benefits of Cayenne Chilli Powder
Boosts metabolism and fat burn
Capsaicin increases thermogenesis, so your body burns more calories as heat. A mild boost to metabolism and fat oxidation with just half to 1 teaspoon a day.
Appetite control
Helps you feel fuller for longer and reduces cravings, ideal for portion control.
Heart and circulation
Capsaicin helps relax blood vessels, supporting healthy blood pressure and circulation, and mildly thins the blood for better flow.
Pain and inflammation
Anti-inflammatory effects may ease joint and muscle discomfort over time; topically, capsaicin is used to block pain signals.
Aids digestion
Stimulates digestive enzymes and saliva, supporting gut motility and nutrient absorption.
Immunity and congestion relief
Vitamin C and natural heat help break up mucus, clear the sinuses and support immune defence.
