A member asked:
Is capsaicin or capsaicin tablets supplements safe during pregnancy, if not; why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
UMM advises: Eating cayenne in food is considered safe during pregnancy, but pregnant women should not take cayenne as a supplement. Cayenne does pass into breast milk, so nursing mothers should avoid cayenne both as a spice and a supplement.
