HOW IT WORKS

Harnessing the power of red hot chili peppers

Several scientific articles have looked at the effects of this well-researched ingredient, and science-backed results support the role Capsimax can play in effective weight management. 

The power of the red chili pepper has been shown to boost metabolism, help burn fat and curb appetite. How does it do this? 

Thermogenesis

Thermogenesis


Thermogenesis refers to the generation of heat in the body. We can consider our bodies like an oven that is always on. We “burn” calories in order to generate energy and support our daily functions. This burn determines our individual metabolic rate (metabolism). While we’re not exercising, we call this our resting metabolic rate, and this accounts for approximately 60-70% of calories burned daily. 

Increasing or improving the metabolic rate, even if this can be done at rest, can help the body burn its own stored energy and help manage weight overall. 

Enter the red chili pepper extract. 

Capsimax chili pepper extract is ideally taken once daily in the mornings to boost resting metabolic rate. 

 

Scientific Analysis

  • In two separate clinical trials, Capsimax has shown to burn at least 6% more calories over a 4 hour period, at rest

  • In overweight subjects, Capsimax was able to increase metabolism and support burning of approximately 129 calories over a 4 hour period

  • Capsimax helps increase metabolism and supports burning an average of 8.9% more calories over a 4 hour period in overweight people

  • Capsimax helps increase metabolic rate quickly and significantly within 1 hour of consumption

Mobilizing Free Fatty Acids 

Mobilizing Free Fatty Acids 

The body’s fat stores are essentially stored energy. These are unused, unburned calories being held in reserve because the intake of calories consumed exceeded calories burned. So they’re being saved for another day and another opportunity to be called upon to provide energy. However, free fatty acids (released fat energy stores) are actually energy-rich and can play a critical role in energy production during exercise, once they are released.

One key to burning fat and achieving both your weight loss and fitness goals is to effectively mobilize the body’s fat stores (free fatty acids) for energy and endurance. 

Enter the red chili pepper extract. 

Capsimax chili pepper extract is ideally taken before a workout to help break down fat, releasing free fatty acids as an energy resource during exercise.

 

 Scientific Analysis

  • In a clinical study, Capsimax increased free fatty acid levels before exercise and maintained higher levels of free fatty acids 2 hours post-exercise (86% higher vs. placebo)

  • In another clinical study, Capsimax increased the breakdown of stored fat as evident in increased blood levels of free fatty acids, which can be used for energy

Curbing Appetite 

Curbing Appetite 

People need food to survive. But in many cases, we eat far more than we need to simply survive, and this could be from a whole host of reasons we won’t get into here. What is relevant, however, is that we can find ways to reduce our appetite to cue true hunger, as opposed to desire. 

Enter the red chili pepper extract. 

Capsimax chili pepper extract is ideally taken once daily to help reduce appetite and the desire to snack. 

Scientific Analysis

  • In a study of 152 healthy men and women, taking Capsimax resulted in a significant 7.1% decrease in appetite

  • Capsimax helps reduce the feelings of hunger
