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. It has been 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.
Cholesterol is needed for our body to build cell walls, make hormones
and vitamin D, and create bile salts that help you digest fat. However
too much of it can be dangerous because cholesterol cannot dissolve in your blood. The special particle called lipoprotein moves this waxy, soft substance from place to place.
Ingredients
The chemical constituents of Cayenne include capsaicin, capsacutin oil, solaine, xanthenes, oleic acid, palmitic acid, etc.
Capsaicinoids, the active compounds in chili pepper, showed to reduce plasma total cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triacylglycerols with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
being unaffected, according to The Chinese University of Hong Kong, in
hamsters study(1), as well as prevent ovarian hormone deficiency-induced
hypercholesterolemia by inhibiting the hepatic cholesterol
synthesis in ovariectomized (OVX) rats(2). These anti
Hypocholesterolemic effect may be as a result of stimulating conversion
of cholesterol to bile acids by upregulation of cholesterol
7α-hydroxylase expression (cholesterol regulator) and the increase in
fecal total bile acid excretion, some researchers suggested(3).
