Cayenne Pepper - Feed Ingredient
Cayenne pepper is a powdered form of dried fruits from hot chili peppers, typically Capsicum annuum or Capsicum frutescens. Its heat and pungency come from capsaicin, a bioactive compound known for its stimulating and irritant properties.
In equine supplements, cayenne pepper is occasionally included in small amounts as part of botanical blends. It is used for its traditional applications, such as stimulating circulation or promoting digestive activity, although scientific evidence in horses is limited.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Cayenne Pepper as an ingredient.
