Cayenne, the Natural Whole Food Medicine for Gastrointestinal protective effects

Cayenne, the chili spice has been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of Gastrointestinal disorder. According to a recent study, cayenne exerted various beneficial effects on the gastrointestinal system by a variety of mechanisms such as the influence of gastric emptying, stimulation of gastrointestinal defense and absorption, stimulation of salivary, intestinal, hepatic, and pancreatic secretions.


Cayenne is also known as Cayenne Pepper, a red, hot chili pepper, belonging to Capsicum annuum, the family Solanaceae, native to sub-tropical and tropical regions, used in traditional medicine to increases metabolism, enhance circulatory system and stomach and the intestinal tract, adjust blood pressure, lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, treat frostbite, muscles, arthritis, rheumatism, low back pain, strains, sprains, bruises, and neuralgia, etc.

According to the Royal Adelaide Hospital, in the evaluation of eight healthy volunteers, intake of cayenne showed to slow the rate of gastric emptying and faster the whole gut transit after the meal compared with the other meal.


In fact, adding chili in the meal is associated with a faster whole gut transit time, affecting the intestinal transit or gastric emptying.

In an 18 well-nourished healthy human adult volunteers study, Dr. Kochhar KP, the lead researchers at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, said, " The t1/2 of the spicy meal, 40.09 +/- (p < 0.05) thus implying a faster transit through the stomach" and " In 17 out of the 18 subjects, t1/2 of the spicy meal was consistently lower than that of spice free meal".


Intake of Cayenne regularly no doubt have improved the gastrointestinal function through increased metabolism. use of chili supplement should be taken with care to prevent toxicity
