In brief

What it is
Ginger is the underground stem of a tropical plant and has a spicy, zesty bite. Cinnamon comes from the inner bark of Cinnamomum trees, and the label lists cassia cinnamon bark extract. Cayenne is the dried fruit of Capsicum annuum, and its heat comes from a compound called capsaicin.
Where it comes from
Ginger grows across India, China and Southeast Asia. Cassia cinnamon is grown mainly in southern China and Vietnam. Cayenne is raised in warm climates worldwide. All three are dried and then ground or extracted for capsules.
Why it is in Thermo Burn Pro
Thermo Burn Pro lists all three in its blend.* Serving size and amounts appear on the Supplement Facts panel on your Thermo Burn Pro bottle. The Spice Shelf and Beyond tours them with the rest of the blend.
