Description
Products Description
Capsaicin is the primary active compound responsible for the pungency of chili peppers (Capsicum species, particularly cayenne pepper), and one of the most extensively studied capsaicinoids. It acts on the TRPV1 receptor found on sensory neurons, producing both the characteristic burning sensation associated with spicy foods and a range of downstream physiological effects that have made it a widely used raw material across dietary supplement, food, and topical pharmaceutical categories.
Sheerherb's Capsaicin Powder is extracted from Capsicum fruit and standardized to capsaicin content, with HPLC-verified purity confirmed on every batch. We supply supplement manufacturers, topical pain-relief product formulators, and food and beverage producers sourcing capsaicin raw material for thermogenic, analgesic, and flavor-related applications.

Capsaicin is a widely used ingredient in thermogenic and weight-management supplement formulas, positioned around metabolic and calorie-burning support.
2. Topical Analgesic Applications
Its action on sensory neurons via TRPV1 makes it a well-established active ingredient in topical pain-relief creams and patches targeting muscle and joint discomfort.
3. Digestive & Circulatory Support Positioning
Traditional and modern interest in capsaicin's effects on digestion and circulation supports its inclusion in broader wellness-focused formulas.
4. Food & Beverage Flavor Applications
Its standardized pungency (measured in Scoville Heat Units) supports precise, consistent heat-level formulation in food, sauce, and beverage products.
