Capsicum extract is derived from the fruit of the capsicum plant, commonly known as chili peppers. This extract is rich in capsaicin, the active component responsible for the pepper's heat. Capsicum extract is widely used in dietary supplements and topical creams for its pain-relieving properties. It works by desensitizing nerve receptors, making it an effective remedy for conditions like arthritis, muscle pain, and neuropathy. Additionally, capsicum extract has thermogenic properties that can boost metabolism and aid in weight management, making it a popular ingredient in health and fitness products.
