Capsaicin
The substance that makes chilli peppers (Capsicum) hot, isolated in the 19th century: it activates the TRPV1 receptor on the nerves that sense heat and pain and is used in creams and patches against some neuropathic pain. This family brings together labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.
Did you know?Birds do not feel its burn, because their TRPV1 receptor does not respond to capsaicin: so they eat chillies and spread the seeds, while mammals, whose molars would destroy them, are put off.
