Chilitenoids

Sabinsa Corporation has introduced Chilitenoids, a natural extract from a type of Capsicum frutescens that contains negligible levels of the pungent principle capsaicin. Capsanthin is a functional carotenoid with well-established antioxidant properties, useful in nutraceutical and cosmeceutical applications. These include supporting cardiovascular health and wellness, healthy skin aging and normal immune functions, according to the company. Chilitenoids, now available in a soft extract, will soon be available in a dust-free beadlet version as well. Chilitenoids is standardized to contain 5-20% w/w capsanthin.
