Cayenne, a member of the pepper family, is also known as chili pepper, paprika, red pepper, Mexican chili pepper, capsicum annuum, bird pepper, African pepper, sweet pepper, Tabasco pepper, Zanzibar pepper, goat's pod and grains of paradise. Originating from South America, Cayenne is known for the spice it adds to food and can be added to your diet through supplementation or as a food source.
Used to aid the body in losing stored fat, Cayenne also has proven to reduce damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals damage cells through toxins in the environment, and also when the body is under stress. This is critical to muscle building, as Cayenne enables cells to rebuild themselves due to its antioxidant properties.
Strengthening the body's immunity to illness by promoting healthy cellular growth throughout the body, Cayenne will help you attain fitness goals! When constructing muscle, cells that regenerate will be stronger and healthier, enabling fuller, more defined muscle tissue. Antioxidants are also responsible for promoting anti-aging effects, providing greater energy levels and overall health.
Follow the directions on the label for dosage directions. If you have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), do not use cayenne or capsicum supplements as your condition could worsen. Use caution when supplementing Cayenne if you have been diagnosed with heartburn, gastritis or ulcers. When using Cayenne and aspirin simultaneously, be aware that rare side-effects may occur. Should you experience these or have an allergic reaction to Cayenne, contact your doctor and stop using Cayenne immediately.
