The Science
How It Helps Your Body
Capsaicin — chilli's active compound — activates TRPV1 receptors in the body, creating thermogenesis (heat production) that burns additional calories. Studies show capsaicin consumption increases metabolic rate by 4-5% and fat oxidation by 16% compared to control groups. As a pain reliever, it works by depleting substance P — a neurotransmitter that carries pain signals — providing lasting relief for neuropathic and arthritic pain when used regularly.
About This Product
Our red chilli powder is single-origin, sourced exclusively from Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh — the chilli capital of India. The chillies are sun-dried for 10-14 days, then ground without any added color, paprika, or brick powder adulterants. High capsaicin content provides thermogenic metabolism-boosting benefits.
