WHY WE STOCK IT
A convenient, one-per-day cayenne supplement traditionally used in herbal medicine to support peripheral circulation and aid digestion. Each capsule supplies 470 mg of ground Capsicum annuum fruit standardized to 40,000 Scoville Heat Units.
 
BEST FOR
Adults seeking a single-ingredient herbal supplement for traditional digestive and peripheral-circulation support.
 
Cayenne is not a treatment for poor circulation caused by diabetes, blood clots, peripheral arterial disease or another medical condition. It should not be promoted as a weight-loss or cholesterol-lowering supplement.
 
HOW TO TAKE IT
Adults: Take 1 capsule once daily or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
Swallow the capsule whole with water. Taking it with a meal may reduce stomach irritation. Do not open the capsule or inhale the powder because cayenne can cause intense burning and irritation.
 
At the labelled dose, 90 capsules provide a 90-day supply.
 
MEDICATION AND SAFETY CAUTIONS

Have a stomach ulcer, gastrointestinal inflammation, frequent heartburn or significant acid reflux
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Take an anticoagulant, antiplatelet medication or daily aspirin
Take medication for diabetes or blood pressure

Potential interactions between concentrated cayenne supplements and medications are not fully established. Ask our pharmacist to review the product rather than stopping or adjusting prescribed medication.
 
Cayenne may cause heartburn, stomach pain, nausea, sweating, flushing, diarrhea or a burning sensation. Stop use and seek advice if symptoms are severe or persistent.
 
Seek prompt medical attention for sudden coldness or discoloration of a limb, chest pain, shortness of breath, one-sided swelling, vomiting blood, black stools or severe abdominal pain. These symptoms require medical assessment and should not be treated with a circulation supplement.
 
Keep out of reach of children. If an overdose or accidental ingestion occurs, contact a poison-control centre immediately. Consult a healthcare practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen.
