Alpha01 Organic Cayenne Pepper 650mg 90 Capsules

Fiery, vibrant and full of character, cayenne pepper is one of the world's best-known chillies. Native to Central and South America and now grown across the globe, Capsicum annuum gives heat to everything from Cajun spice blends to Indian curries. Alpha01 Organic Cayenne Pepper 650mg Capsules pack that warmth into a vegan capsule, so you can enjoy cayenne daily without setting your tongue alight.

100,000 Scoville Heat Units

Chilli heat is measured on the Scoville scale, and the cayenne used in these capsules is rated at around 100,000 Scoville heat units. That places it firmly in the hot category, well above jalapeño and paprika. Its heat comes from capsaicin, the naturally occurring compound responsible for the warming sensation chillies are famous for. The capsule format means the pepper bypasses your taste buds entirely.

Whole Milled Pepper

Each capsule contains 650mg of certified organic cayenne pepper. The peppers are dried and finely milled rather than extracted, so the 650mg represents the actual weight of cayenne in every capsule. Because there is no Nutrient Reference Value for cayenne, the label shows the amount per serving rather than a percentage.

Organic and Vegan

The cayenne is certified organic and carries the EU organic leaf logo. It is combined with a little organic brown rice flour to help it flow during encapsulation and sealed inside a hypromellose capsule, a plant-derived shell. That makes the capsules suitable for vegans and vegetarians, with no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners.

Quality You Can Trust

Alpha01 is a UK supplement brand whose products are made in the EU to GMP food safety standards using non-GMO ingredients. Each batch is tested for heavy metals and microbial contaminants, with lab reports made available by the brand. The capsules are packed in a resealable, recyclable pouch, keeping them fresh while reducing plastic.

Three Months of Supply

Each pouch contains 90 vegan capsules. At one capsule per day, that is a full three months of use, making this an excellent-value option. Take one capsule daily with water. Because cayenne is naturally hot, it is best taken with food, which many people find more comfortable, especially when starting out.

Spice Up Your Cooking Too

If you love the heat of cayenne, it is also wonderful in the kitchen. A pinch livens up soups, stews, roasted vegetables, marinades and even hot chocolate. These capsules simply offer a consistent, convenient way to enjoy cayenne on the days you are not cooking with it.

Handle With Care

Do not open the capsules, as the powder can irritate the eyes, nose and skin. If contact does occur, rinse thoroughly with cool water. Store the pouch in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and reseal it after each use. Food supplements should be used as part of a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
