starting the mc again today! i'm excited and have actually been missing my lemonades these last two days.....yet, i do not miss the cayenne pepper in the liquid mix. i read about some people that put the cayenne in empty little capsules, and was wondering if that actually worked? i also read somewhere that someone did this and it gave them major heartburn?! so, i don't want to do it if i will give me that. But, if others say it has worked for them with no problems,then i'm gonna go pick up some capsules and give it a try.......thanks for the help.

Hi!
I just bought some yesterday. They are rated at 40,000 HUs, and the ground stuff I put in the lemonade is rated at 90,000. I've been using about 1/10 - 1/8 tsp in the drink and taking one capsule each time in addition. I haven't really gotten heartburn, though my stomach can definitely tell. So far it hasn't been a problem.
Good luck!

Hi!
Sorry for the confusing message!
I think that HUs are "heat units", and with this fast the higher the better. I actually didn't buy empty capsules, but I managed to find filled capsules in an organic grocery store, in the area where they keep all of their herbal supplements.

This is a reply to # 435,228Maybe make a couple and try them and see what you think. I read a few places that people have used the capsules and it makes their stomach very unhappy.
Sorry in advance for the oversimplified explaination but here goes: Apparently when you put the cayenne in your mouth (either liquid or powder) your body sends a messae to your stomach saying "here it comes, get ready" and the stomach secretes whatever chemicals it needs to handle the cayenne. When you ingest the casules your mouth senses nothing and the cap gets into your stomach and dissolves and all of a sudden your stomach has to eal with a fairly large quantity of cayenne with no warning.
It made some sense to me. Just don't want you to suffer if you don't have to.
