How to decide between the natural and synthetic forms of Capsaicin?
Natural capsaicin is most often used in food and pharmaceutical
preparations, whereas nonivamide is most commonly used in
commercial applications such as pepper sprays and animal
repellents.
If it is going to be used as a deterrent, then the synthetic form
is the better choice, primarily because of cost. The natural
product is the result of a twostage extraction process - solvent
extraction followed by super critical fluid extraction. As a result, the
natural product costs about twice as much as the synthetic form.
Capsaicin has wide usage in the medical field for relief of pain,
and more recently has been shown to be effective in fighting
cancers. RD Health Ingredients offers capsaicin is a pure, natural
form widely used in foods and pharmaceuticals.
Typical application
Medicinal
Capsaicin is used in topical ointments and creams to relieve minor
aches and pains of muscles and joints. Capsaicin is also available
in large adhesive bandages that can be applied to the back.
Concentrations are typically between 0.025% and 0.075%.Research
suggests that capsaicin is able to kill prostate cancer cells. The
studies showed tumors treated with capsaicin were about one-fifth
the size of the untreated tumors. One study suggests capsaicin may
be effective against lung cancer cells
and researchers in Canada are testing capsaicin as a cure for
diabetes.
Non-Lethal Force
Capsaicin is the active ingredient in pepper spray. When the spray
comes in contact with skin, especially eyes or mucous membranes, it
is very painful.
Pest deterrent
Capsaicin can be used to deter many pests, such as squirrels,
chipmunks and other annoying animals. Capsaicin can be
used as an additive to birdseed, since birds are unaffected by
capsaicin. Insects are also unaffected.
Anti-foulant Capsaicin is an attractive alternative to the currently used toxic
metal-based anti-foulants for protecting submerged
urfaces such as the hulls of boats.
