It helps reduce appetite, increase energy metabolism (therefore helping to burn off more calories), reduce BMI, the percentage of fat in the body, the waistline, and the critical markers involved in weight control, such as blood sugar levels, insulin, triacylglycerol and leptin.
The best of the product
All the benefits of undiluted capsicum extract with none of the discomfort! Utilising a patented encapsulation procedure (OmniBead™), the highly concentrated capsicum extract is inserted into a sphere made from a matrix of inert excipients, ensuring it is free from the oral or gastric irritation often experienced by those who eat red hot chilli pepper!

The hot chilli pepper, a red pepper found mainly in South America, contains capsicum (the compound responsible for its hot taste!), whose effect on weight loss has been demonstrated in numerous studies.
However, in order to be effective, around 10g of hot chilli pepper must be consumed daily over a period of weeks, which is not practical: capsicum extract is much too acidic for the stomach!
What’s more, it’s difficult to imagine being able to swallow pure hot pepper at breakfast! Or even to encapsulate this extract into a matrix inert enough to be able to be tolerated by the intestines and by the stomach. This component offers many benefits: scientific studies have shown that, taken in 30mg daily doses, capsicum extract improves thermogenesis, increases energy expenditure and promotes weight loss in both men (1) and women (2). It stimulates the ‘digestion’ of carbohydrates (sugars) in runners at rest and during exercise (3), increases the oxidation of fats (4) and the burning of lipids needed for weight loss (5) and regulates calorie intake (6). It also has an antioxidant effect on red blood cells and on liver cells (7), reduces oxidative stress (studies carried out on animals) (8). It also promotes hair growth: a test on alopecia sufferers found that, taken daily, 6mg of capsaicin combined with 75mg of isoflavone was an effective treatment (9).
One capsule of Capsimax corresponds to over 200mg of highly concentrated capsicum extract. It has been clinically proven by a study carried out on 25 subjects at the University of Oklahoma in the United States that taking Capsimax before exercise helps to raise the metabolism before, during and after exertion. Helping to burn off no less than 278 extra calories!
A real boost to your slimming regime, equivalent to:
- 1 hour and 20 minutes’ walking at moderate pace
- 25 minutes’ jogging
- 1 hamburger
- 1 slice of cheese pizza
- 2 chocolate cookies
(Conversely, daily consumption of an extra 278 calories per day can lead to a weight gain of over 25 pounds (12.5kg) per year.). In other words, taking Capsimax helps to burn off 12 times more calories during rest.
