Capsaicin: the
wake-up compound
Capsaicin is the pungent
substance in pepperoni/chili. It binds to TRPV1
receptors in the mouth and stomach lining. These
receptors signal “heat” to the brain – even when no actual
temperature increase is present. The result:
You feel fire, heat, and
activation.
Physical
response
Your brain thinks: “Oh,
danger – activate!”
Adrenaline and endorphins
are released: heart rate increases, blood pressure rises
slightly, and energy levels go up.
Endorphin
effect
Capsaicin causes a mild pain
stimulus that triggers the brain to release
endorphins.
Endorphins = natural
happiness hormones.
Circulation &
warming effect
Capsaicin dilates blood
vessels and promotes circulation.
The body warms up through
this “inner heat.”

Above all, to eat a healthy diet, engage in sports, enjoy daily
movement outdoors in nature, and drink clean water. However, in
today’s world it is often not possible to follow all of these
essential principles of life regularly or long-term. In
addition, stress levels are widely high, and exposure to
environmental factors, chemicals, toxins, pesticides, and much
more has increased.
An essence from the wonderful natural world can not only
provide us with valuable vitamins, minerals, and feelings of
happiness: when used correctly, it offers remarkably efficient,
side-effect free support, both preventively and reactively✔️
