• May provide benefits from the mayonnaise base, such as vitamin E from the oil, supporting antioxidant defenses.
• Can offer anti-inflammatory properties if spices like cayenne pepper or chili flakes are used.
• The spice component may boost metabolism slightly.
• The fat content can aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins from other foods consumed with it.

Spicy mayo, especially homemade versions, should always be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It's best to use it within 1-2 weeks for optimal flavor and to prevent spoilage, as mayonnaise is prone to bacterial growth. Commercially prepared spicy mayo may have a longer shelf life, but always refer to the expiration date and refrigerate after opening. Freezing is not recommended, as it can alter the texture and consistency.
