Our anti-inflammatories are awesome! "Food as Medicine!"

April 26, 2018

Secret Spice Remedy was originally created for its flavor, but it turns out the ingredients are incredibly healthy and readily absorbed by the body. "The three peppers evaluated in this study are good sources of carotenoids. The carotenoid extract obtained from guajillo peppers exhibited high antioxidant activity, safe margin of toxicity, and significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory benefits."

Overall, is can be said that whether used dried or fresh, capsicum chili is food as medicine and beneficial to use in everyday diet as both a natural preventive and treatment of many chronic conditions. From:

One of the most common questions I receive when I tell people that Secret Spice Remedy is an anti-inflammatory is if it contains Tumeric. My response? No, our spice contains the original and time-tested Capsaicin which has long been used as an anti-inflammatory. See below: the current thinking that Turmeric is the best may not be true.

A 2017 article in Time Health states,

"Turmeric, the bright yellow spice often used in curries, mustards and golden milk lattes, has gained quite a reputation as a superfood. It’s been touted for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties

That reputation, however, may have just gone down a notch: A new review of scientific literature on curcumin, the most well-known chemical in turmeric, suggests that the compound has limited, if any, actual health benefits."
