What dosage of capsaicin has been studied in clinical trials?

Clinical studies have used capsaicin doses ranging from 2 to 6 mg per day, often in capsule form to avoid oral irritation. Some studies used capsinoid forms, which are non-pungent analogs, at doses of 6–12 mg daily for 4–12 weeks.

About

The primary pungent compound in chili peppers that activates TRPV1 channels to stimulate thermogenesis and enhance fat oxidation. Meta-analyses demonstrate capsaicinoids may support modest increases in energy expenditure and help promote healthy appetite regulation.

How It Works

Activates transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channels, stimulating sympathetic nervous system activity and brown adipose tissue thermogenesis. Increases energy expenditure, enhances fat oxidation, and may reduce appetite through GLP-1 and decreased ghrelin signaling.
