Capsicum Extract

Capsicum Extract Manufacturers and Suppliers

Capsicum extract is a natural compound extracted from chili peppers and is one of the main chemical components of the pungent flavor in chili peppers. Capsaicin is a natural alkaloid that is a highly volatile, lipophilic hydrophobic, white crystalline powder.Healthkintai^® is a manufacturer and supplier of Capsicum Extract. We offer the extract powder in various specifications. If you require wholesale Capsicum Extract,please feel free to contact us at info@kintaibio.com.

Healthkintai^® Capsicum Extract Plant Source

Healthkintai^® has chosen Yunnan Province in southwestern China as the raw material production area for its chili pepper extract. Yunnan's advantages as a core raw material production area for chili pepper extract are extremely prominent. Its unique climate conditions, with abundant sunshine and heat, are ideal for the growth of high-spiciness chili peppers, allowing for perennial cultivation and a long and stable supply period.Large-scale planting results in huge yields and relatively low costs, forming a complete industrial chain from planting and drying to trading, ensuring high cost-effectiveness and a stable supply of raw materials. Yunnan has become the distribution center for high-spiciness dried chili peppers in China, occupying an irreplaceable core hub position in the supply chain.​​​​​​​

How to Extract Capsaicinoids from Chili Peppers?

• Raw material pretreatment: Dried chilies are washed, cleaned, and then crushed into chili powder to increase the contact area and improve extraction efficiency.
• Active component extraction: Solvent extraction is typically used, involving repeated soaking or countercurrent extraction at heating or room temperature to dissolve and separate capsaicin, capsanthin, and other active components from the chili powder.
• Separation and concentration: Chili residue is removed by filtration or centrifugation. Most of the solvent is then recovered and recycled using evaporation equipment, while the extract is initially concentrated.
• Purification: Depending on product requirements, chromatographic separation, crystallization, and other techniques are used to further separate and purify capsaicin from pigments, oils, and other components to obtain high-purity capsaicin.
• Drying and productization: The final product is spray-dried to produce powdered standards, which are then packaged after passing testing.

Capsicum Extract Benefits

Capsicum Extract for Weight Loss

Capsaicin, the core active ingredient in chili pepper extract, has been shown to have the potential to aid in weight loss, and its mechanism of action is mainly through these pathways. First, it can activate TRPV1 receptors in the human body, stimulating the sympathetic nervous system, thereby gently increasing metabolic rate and energy expenditure, and promoting fat oxidation. Second, capsaicin can act on the gastrointestinal tract, increasing satiety and possibly mildly suppressing appetite, which helps reduce total calorie intake. In addition, some studies have also indicated that it may affect biological metabolic pathways related to fat synthesis and storage.

Capsicum Extract for Pain

Capsaicinoids, a component of chili pepper extract, exhibits a unique biphasic mechanism of action in pain management: initial stimulation followed by desensitization.The core principle is that capsaicin selectively and persistently activates and ultimately depletes TRPV1 receptors on nerve endings responsible for transmitting pain and heat sensations. Upon initial application, it induces a brief burning sensation, a sign of nerve activation; however, with continued or high-concentration use, Capsicum extract leads to the depletion of neurotransmitters (primarily substance P) and temporary desensitization of nerve endings, thereby impairing their ability to transmit pain signals and achieving a long-lasting analgesic effect.

Capsicum Extract for Skin

Capsaicin exhibits a significant dose-dependent duality in its effects on the skin. At low concentrations (e.g., 0.025%-0.1%), it primarily exerts its analgesic and antipruritic effects by activating and subsequently depleting TRPV1 receptors at the nerve endings in the skin, thereby depleting substance P. Clinically, it is commonly used to relieve neuropathic pain, arthritis, and pruritic skin conditions. However, medium to high concentrations or improper use can strongly stimulate these receptors, causing significant burning, redness, and inflammatory reactions. This is the mechanism by which it is used as a core ingredient in self-defense sprays.

Capsicum Extract Uses

Capsicum Extract Supplements

The application of capsaicin in health supplements is primarily based on its potential to boost metabolism and mildly stimulate thermogenesis. As a core ingredient in dietary supplements, it is often marketed as an aid to weight management, working by activating TRPV1 receptors to slightly increase energy expenditure and fat oxidation, and potentially increase satiety. Furthermore, its antioxidant properties are also used to support overall health.Common forms include capsicum extract pills,capsicum extract capsules.

Topical Capsaicin

Capsaicin is primarily used topically due to its unique neuromodulatory mechanism, making it an important local analgesic. Clinically, high-concentration (e.g., 8%) capsaicin patches are approved for treating refractory neuropathic pain such as postherpetic neuralgia and diabetic peripheral neuropathy, with a single application providing relief for several months. Low-concentration (0.025%-0.1%) creams or gels are widely used to relieve mild to moderate chronic pain and itching caused by osteoarthritis, muscle strain, etc. Its non-systemic and non-addictive nature makes it an effective alternative or supplement to traditional analgesics.

Capsicum Extract Side Effects

The side effects of chili pepper extract (whose main active ingredient is capsaicin) primarily stem from its strong irritant effect on nerves and mucous membranes. The most common side effects are local adverse reactions, including burning sensations, redness, swelling, pain, and inflammation of the skin or mucous membranes (such as the mouth and gastrointestinal tract). High concentrations may even cause chemical burns or dermatitis. Oral ingestion may cause gastrointestinal discomfort such as stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, and gastroesophageal reflux. Long-term or excessive intake carries a potential risk of exacerbating peptic ulcers. A small number of people may experience allergic reactions.

FAQ

Q1:​​​​​​​Is capsaicin a good anti-inflammatory?

A1:Yes, capsaicin possesses unique anti-inflammatory potential, but its mechanism of action differs from traditional anti-inflammatory drugs. It exerts its anti-inflammatory effect indirectly by activating and subsequently depleting TRPV1 receptors at nerve endings, thereby reducing the release of neurogenic inflammatory mediators such as substance P. Some studies have confirmed its effectiveness in local applications in models of arthritis and neuroinflammation.

Q2:Does capsaicin clear arteries?

A2:Currently, there is no conclusive clinical evidence that capsaicin can directly "unblock" or "clean" blocked arteries. Although some basic research suggests that capsaicin may have a potential positive impact on vascular function by activating TRPV1 receptors, such as promoting vasodilation, improving endothelial function, or regulating lipid metabolism, these effects are mainly in the animal experiment and mechanism exploration stage, and are far from meeting the standards for use as a treatment or prevention method for human cardiovascular diseases.
