Josh's Spicy Rush - 90k Cayenne and B3 Niacinamide - Energy and Mucus
Capsaicin has real human data: a 2024 meta-analysis of nine placebo-controlled trials for nasal comfort, and a meta-analysis of feeding studies showing support for normal energy expenditure after meals. Niacinamide has been dosed orally for a year in a 386-person trial. Both, after breakfast.
For adults who already tolerate cayenne and want B3 in the same capsule. 60 or 120 capsules.
- Lab Tested
- Glyphosate Tested
- Non-Flushing B3
- Pork-Free Capsule
- No Fillers
- No Flow Agents
- No Nicotinic Acid
Why people use it
- Niacinamide does not, because of its different structure. That is why it's the form in this capsule.
- A cofactor role, not a stimulant. B3 is the precursor to NAD and NADP, the coenzymes that run normal energy metabolism. That is a chemistry job, not a jolt.
- Whole cayenne fruit. Dried Capsicum annuum, not standardized capsaicin. Traditionally used to support digestion when taken with food, and to support peripheral circulation.
- Normal mucus flow. Used to support normal mucus flow and comfortable breathing through seasonal changes.
- Built around meals. Cayenne on an empty stomach is what causes most of the complaints. This one is designed to be taken after breakfast, then after lunch.
What's in the capsule
Milligrams per capsule aren't printed on the label, so this table is written as ingredient to contribution. Ask us for the specification sheet if you need the numbers.
| Ingredient | What it contributes |
|---|---|
| 90k Cayenne (Capsicum annuum) dried fruit | Whole dried fruit rated 90,000 Scoville, the source of the capsaicinoids and the warmth. Amount per capsule is not disclosed. |
| Vitamin B3 (niacinamide) | The non-flushing form of B3, and the precursor to NAD and NADP, the coenzymes in normal energy metabolism. Amount per capsule is not disclosed. |
| USP grade pork-free bovine capsule | The gelatin shell. No fillers, no flow agents, no coating. |
Until per-capsule amounts are published, count this product against your other B3 and cayenne sources.
How to use
- 1 capsule after breakfast for the first one to two weeks. Never on an empty stomach.
- If that sits well, add a second after lunch.
- Some people go up to 2 capsules per meal. Build to it slowly, and only if you tolerate the first routine.
- Because the B3 amount is undisclosed, count this alongside any B-complex or multivitamin you take.
- Keep it before mid-afternoon. It is a warming capsule, not an evening one.
Sourcing & making
Cayenne is the same lab-tested, glyphosate-tested 90k powder we sell on its own. The B3 is lab-tested niacinamide, the form chosen specifically because it does not flush. Capsules are USP-grade bovine gelatin, pork-free. Encapsulated in small batches when you order.
Full ingredients
- Lab-Tested & Glyphosate-Free 90k Cayenne Powder
- Lab-Tested Vitamin B3 Niacinamide
- Lab-Tested USP Grade Pork-Free Bovine Capsules
Who it's for — and who it isn't
Good fit for:
- Adults who already take the plain cayenne and want B3 in the same capsule
- People who want vitamin B3 without the flushing that comes with nicotinic acid
- Anyone building a routine around meals rather than around a morning stimulant
Probably not for you if:
- You have stomach ulcers or stomach inflammation. Ask a practitioner before you start.
- You already take a B-complex or multivitamin.
Testing & quality
Every product is lab tested. Certificates of analysis on request, about a two-week turnaround. That includes glyphosate testing on the cayenne and identity testing on the niacinamide.

90k Cayenne (Capsicum annuum) / capsaicin
Capsaicin nasal-comfort review, 2024
Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology · 2024 · systematic review and meta-analysis · n=9 placebo-controlled studies
Pooling nine placebo-controlled studies of intranasal capsaicin in adults with non-allergic rhinitis, capsaicin improved total nasal symptom and visual-analogue scores and produced more treatment responders than placebo.
90k Cayenne (capsaicin / capsaicinoids)
Chemical Senses · 2012 · meta-analysis · n=pooled human studies (dose-ranging)
Pooling human feeding studies, the authors found capsaicin and capsiate raised energy expenditure and fat oxidation, especially at higher doses, and reduced appetite sensations, while judging the overall effect modest.
Vitamin B3 as Niacinamide (nicotinamide)
Oral nicotinamide 12-month human trial, 2015
New England Journal of Medicine · 2015 · RCT · n=386
In a double-blind randomized trial of 386 adults with a history of at least two non-melanoma skin cancers, oral nicotinamide 500 mg twice daily for 12 months produced 23% fewer new non-melanoma skin cancers than placebo, with no significant safety concerns and benefit fading after supplementation stopped.
Evidence note: Both ingredients have real human data, measured on specific endpoints. Capsaicin's nine-study meta-analysis for non-allergic rhinitis used intranasal capsaicin, and the energy-balance meta-analyses pooled gram-level oral doses - so the trial route and dose are the reference points to read against a capsule. Niacinamide has excellent human safety and dosing data, and its largest RCT (386 participants) measured skin-cancer incidence at 500 mg twice daily. Trials measuring energy, mucus or gut outcomes at this product's serving size are what would speak to this page's positioning directly.
FAQ
Why niacinamide rather than niacin?
Niacinamide does not, because of its different chemical structure. It is the usual choice for people who want B3 without the flush.
How much of each ingredient is in a capsule?
The label doesn't break it out yet. Ask us for the current specification sheet and we'll send what we hold, so you can count this against any other B3 or cayenne you take.
How is this different from the plain cayenne capsules?
The standalone product states 430 mg of cayenne per capsule and contains nothing else. This one adds niacinamide but does not disclose either amount. Don't assume the cayenne is the same.
Can I take it before eating?
No. Always with food. Cayenne on an empty stomach is the most common cause of the discomfort people report, and the whole routine is built around post-meal timing.
Will I feel it?
Most people feel the warmth from the cayenne within a half hour. The B3 works as a cofactor in normal energy metabolism, not as a stimulant, so do not expect a jolt from it. Individual responses vary, which is why you start at one.
Pairs well with
- 90k Cayenne — the cayenne on its own, with the milligrams stated
- B Vitamin Complex — if you want the full B range instead of B3 alone
- Magnesium Malate — the other daytime capsule in the routine
Cautions
- Do not take on an empty stomach. Always take with food.
- Store cool and dry, away from direct sunlight. Best within 12 months of opening.
Lab Tested
Every product. COA on request, ~2 weeks.
Small Batch
Made in small batches, about as close to homemade as a capsule gets.
Nothing Hidden
Two actives, plus the capsule. No fillers or flow agents.
