Such exposure contributes to the fact that intestinal peristalsis improves, and the chair becomes more regular.

Fiber helps to remove food residues from the intestinal walls. It also promotes the growth of beneficial microflora - microorganisms that provide complete digestion.

In its pure form, capsaicin is able to maintain its chemical strength for quite a long time.
