Yes it is. The capsacin (active ingredient) is supposed to help pain, inflammation, aid in digestion, and have heart and kidney benefits as well. There was a news release a few months ago suggesting that it may even be a cure for prostate cancer, but more studies have to be done.

Don't know if that is true but I have heard it is good for osteoarthritis. I suffer from that and I must admit when I eat it in foods it does seem to help a little. It is supposed to increase blood flow. And over all good blood flow is good for your body.

It is suppose to be thermogenic, which means it heats the body and causes a boost in the metabolism.

I used it in capsule form to cure sinus problems. It is an excellent anti-inflammetory, and has antiseptic properties as well.
