Pepper fruit extract

Pepper fruit, also known as Dennettia tripetala, is a tropical fruit native to West Africa. This small, reddish-brown fruit has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its numerous health benefits. One of the most popular ways to harness its potential is through pepper fruit extracts.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Inflammation is a natural response to injury or infection, but chronic inflammation can be harmful to your health. Pepper fruit extracts contain natural compounds that possess anti-inflammatory properties. Regular consumption may help alleviate symptoms of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and may lower the risk of developing chronic inflammatory diseases.

Skin Health

The antioxidants in pepper fruit extracts can promote healthy and radiant skin. These antioxidants protect the skin from the damaging effects of UV radiation and pollutants, reducing the signs of premature aging. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory properties may help alleviate skin conditions such as acne and eczema.

Ways in which pepper fruit extracts help alleviate pain:

Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Piper guineense contains compounds such as alkaloids and flavonoids that have demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is often associated with pain, so reducing inflammation helps alleviate pain.
Neurological Effects: Some compounds in pepper fruit extracts may interact with the nervous system and potentially modulate pain perception.
Capsaicin-Like Effects: Pepper fruit extracts may contain compounds that are structurally similar to capsaicin, the active component in chilli peppers. Capsaicin is known to have analgesic properties when applied topically, as it can desensitize pain receptors.
Traditional Use: In traditional medicine, pepper fruit extracts have been used to treat various ailments, including pain. While traditional knowledge is valuable, it should be validated through scientific research.
Possible Anti-Nociceptive Effects: Some studies on related Piper species have suggested that they may have anti-nociceptive effects. Anti-nociceptives are substances that block the detection of painful stimuli by the nervous system.
