Chili pepper and its major active compound capsaicin have long been used not only a daily food additive but also medication worldwide. Like in other human organs and systems, capsaicin has multiple actions in gastrointestinal (GI) physiology and pathology. Numerous studies have revealed that capsaicin acts on GI tract in TRPV1-dependent and –independent manners, mostly depending on its consumption concentrations. In this review, we will focus on the beneficial role of capsaicin in GI tract, a less highlighted aspect, in particular how dietary capsaicin affects GI health, the mechanisms of actions and its preventive/therapeutic potentials to several GI diseases. Dietary capsaicin affects GI tract not only via TRPV1-derpendent and independent manners, but also via acute and chronic effects. Although high dose intake of dietary capsaicin is harmful to human health sometimes, current literatures suggest that appropriate dose intake is likely beneficial to GI health and is preventive/therapeutic to GI disease in most cases as well. With extensive and intensive studies on its GI actions, capsaicin, as a daily consumed food additive, has potential to become a safe drug for the treatment of several GI diseases.
