>First of all, let me reiterate that the reason why I started this crazy trial of hot peppers was to augment adderall. Its not the only thing I take. Im not sure If it would be working as well without me also taking adderall. And adderall keeps me motivated and focused so I am able to be patient and keep doing this and not giving up after the first time. Now then, that being said, actually I picked up some cayenne capsules about a month ago when i first started my hot pepper trial. It is called Cool Cayenne, It does not burn the stomach cuz there is ginger and a couple other things in the cap to soothe the burn. On the days I use the hot sauce instead of eating the hot peppers I will also take a cayenne to get some capsaicin in the gut. The caps are only rated 40,000 S.U. on the heat scale which is pretty weak considering the scale goes up to 16 million. But like I said, they put ginger and other stuff in it and you dont feel pain. No pain means no Enorphin release and no decreasing Substance P levels, which Im actually gonna talk about more in my other post as well as a couple other possible ways Capsaicin could be helping and the capsules could produce theses effects Im talkin about.
Tonight, Im gonna try somethin a bit different. Im gonna empty out a capsule so theres nothing at all in it, and fill it with my hot sauce, prob about halfway. The hot sauce I use is rated 7 million S.U. on the scale. Eating the peppers gives a bit of a burn in the stomach but not much cuz alot of the capsaicin binds to the receptors in your mouth. So now my gut will get an experience. I have a feeling its gonna be like napalm.
