A hot chili varietal, the cayenne pepper has been used for food and as a traditional folk remedy for more than 9,000 years. Today, it's believed cayenne's wide array of potential health benefits can be attributed to its content of the spicy phytochemical capsaicin. Solaray Cool Cayenne With Butcher’s Broom contains cayenne that has been processed with ginger root, guar gum, and annatto as part of our Bio-Cool process. This formula also includes the herb butcher’s broom for additional support.
