How is Capsimax Unique?
Capsimax is full of red peppers. Red peppers may be able to help weight loss efforts. Who would have thought? Capsimax is the latest fad to hit the weight loss industry. It is a form of a red chili pepper that can be found in weight loss supplements. Different from other fads to hit the market such as hoodia or acai, there may be some science to back its effectiveness. Let's take a closer look at Capsimax.
How does Capsimax work?
Capsimax Plus is comprised of a proprietary blend containing:
- capsicum fruit extract
- caffeine
- black pepper extract
- niacin
What is frustrating about proprietary blends is there is no way of knowing how much of each ingredient is in the mix. Some shady weight loss companies use proprietary blends as a way of disguising their weak formulas. They "window dress" their formulas by including effective (and usually expensive) ingredients at small dosages in proprietary blends to make their product seem better than it really is. To get the full effect of ingredients, they need to be taken at the correct dosage. The proprietary blend comprising Capsimax consists of 258.34 milligrams.
Capsicum Fruit Extract. Capsicum fruit extract is obviously the main ingredient in the blend. Capsicum extract has been included for years in diet pills but only in small amounts because it irritates the stomach. According to the makers of Capsimax, they have created a release technology with coatings that helps the body absorb capsicum without getting sick. The secret of capsicum lies in capsaicinoids (good luck getting the pronunciation right with that one). Capsaicinoids purportedly help the body shed fat by suppressing the appetite. There are many appetite suppressing ingredients out there and capsicum rates around middle of the pack.
Caffeine. Caffeine is a solid yet common weight loss ingredient. Everyone knows it helps energy levels but it also can give your metabolism a boost.Caffeine can also lead to side effects if taken in large amounts.
Black Pepper. Black pepper is a great supporting weight loss ingredient. Like caffeine, it can help the metabolism.
Niacin. Purportedly helps with cholesterol but studies and customers reviews are mixed on its effectiveness.
Capsimax Clinical Study
According to the manufacturers, there was a clinical study on Capsimax that showed that it can help calorie reduction by 287 calories. The study sounds promising but additional clinical studies and research are needed before we give it credence.
Is Capsimax Safe?
Ingredients in Capsimax have been associated with side effects such as insomnia, nausea, anxiety, and headaches.
Capsimax Pros
- may help with weight loss
- backed by clinical studies (but more details are needed)
- should give an energy boost
Capsimax Cons
- questionable effectiveness
- dosages of ingredients are hidden
- potential side effects
Is Capsimax Worth Trying?
Capsimax is a great blend of ingredients but odds are that if you purchase a product with Capsimax it will be expensive. A product containing a large amount of capsicum will produce the same results and at a fraction of the cost.
