Super Cayenne 100 Veggie Capsules

Product description: Cayenne pepper at ninety thousand heat units, with ginger rhizome, hawthorn berry and sunflower lecithin - the classic warming heart blend. Supports heart function and healthy circulation. Four ingredients, one direction: the heat of cayenne, the warmth of ginger, the tradition of hawthorn, and lecithin to carry them. The heat of a chilli is a message meant for mammals: birds cannot feel it, so they eat the fruit and spread the seed, while anything with teeth learns to leave it alone. With this in mind, Swanson developed Super Cayenne 100 Veggie Capsules! Cayenne, the fruit of Capsicum annuum, owes its fire to capsaicin, a molecule that triggers the same nerve endings that sense real heat - and this formula uses a hot grade of it, rated at ninety thousand heating units per gram on the scale that Wilbur Scoville devised. Around it stand three companions from the older herbal tradition: ginger rhizome, whose gingerols warm in a slower, deeper way; hawthorn berry, the hedgerow fruit that European herbalists have reached for on behalf of the heart since the Middle Ages; and a small dose of sunflower lecithin, the phospholipid that helps fat-soluble compounds disperse. Each capsule delivers all four in fixed proportions. It comes in a small vegetarian capsule that fits easily into a daily routine.First and foremost, Super Cayenne supports heart function and healthy circulation. Capsaicin does not only burn the tongue: the same receptor it triggers sits on the nerves that line blood vessels, and when it fires, the vessels widen and blood flows more freely to the skin and the extremities - the flush a hot meal brings is exactly this reflex at work. Ginger reinforces the effect by a different route, encouraging circulation and easing the digestion of the meal the capsule is taken with; hawthorn contributes the flavonoids and oligomeric procyanidins that have made the berry the herbal heart tonic of Europe. Because cayenne is strong, the label asks for the capsule with food and water, and it reminds anyone on prescription medication - especially for the heart - to talk to a doctor first. Taken daily, it arrives in a steady, measured amount.Support your body at the highest level with Swanson Super Cayenne!
