Re: cayenne tincture - wow

I've been a MC'er for a long time (off/on) and this is the first time I've heard about tincture. I've had problems with CP in that it upsets my stomach and bumm (and trust me - I don't use a lot) -- usually just to taste.

I think I'll give this a try and see how it works.

Best,

A few studies suggest that chemical compounds in cayenne have the ability to increase the body's heat production, whereby increasing the rate of metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Additional research also indicates that cayenne increases production of epinephrine and norepinephrine which together decrease appetite. For dieters it has been suggested that adding 6 to 10 grams of cayenne to a meal or 28 grams to an entire day’s diet reduces hunger after meals and reduces calories consumed during subsequent meals.
