Deep dives

The benefits of capsaicin for fat loss

Capsaicin, found in hot peppers and spicy foods, has been shown to have a positive impact on fat loss. It can enhance the conversion of white fat to metabolically active brown fat, increasing metabolism and calorie burning. It also activates a protein that regulates body temperature and metabolism, resulting in a thermogenic effect. Capsaicin intake before workouts has been found to improve performance and decrease perceived exertion, making it beneficial for fitness enthusiasts as well.
