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.
