The Basics
What are Fire Drops?
Fire Drops are a spicy throat lozenge containing cayenne pepper! Cool right? It works better than a standard cough drop believe it or not. And, it has the benefit of being all natural!
Spicy cough drops? How's that work?
We get this question a lot! Believe it or not, cayenne pepper contains capsaicin, a natural folk remedy for sore throats, the common cold, allergies, and the flu. It works wonders, trust us!
Cayenne...? That sounds scary!
We see your point, but there’s really nothing to be afraid of. The pepper in our drops is mild enough that it won’t scorch your throat, but strong enough that it will help treat your symptoms.
How hot are we talking?
Everyone’s comfort level with heat is different, so its hard to give an exact answer. That said, Fire Drops are not designed to test your limits, but ultimately to help you feel better. There’s no need to be afraid, give ‘em a try and see for yourself!

Who We Are
How were Fire Drops born?
Fire Drops were born in our friend Anita’s kitchen! Anita was huge into natural remedies and started researching the benefits of cayenne pepper when she came down with a cold a few years back. She had the idea to incorporate cayenne into a convenient lozenge so she could easily pop one in her mouth at the earliest signs of a sore or scratchy throat. In her testing, she found that they really worked! Anita started handing out some of the homemade lozenges to friends and family but after all the positive feedback, she realized she needed to scale the operation and find a manufacturer so more people could experience the amazing power of cayenne!
Who is involved in Fire Drops now?
