Aversion Technologies Capsaicin Powder is the most pungent, spicy-hot substance known to man. Pure capsaicin is the “gold-standard” for hotness. The tiniest amount produces a fiery hot product. Capsaicin is the substance that causes the burning feeling in the mouth or nose (any contact with mucous membranes) and it also increases secretion of gastric juice. Capsaicin comes in two forms – natural, which is made from hot peppers, and synthetic, which is produced in a laboratory. The efficacy of the two forms appears to be identical.
