    Published in Appetite

    Methodology

    Meta-analysis of randomized trials of capsaicinoid ingestion on resting energy expenditure and energy intake.

    Key Findings

    Capsaicinoid intake raised energy expenditure by around 50 kcal/day and reduced ad libitum energy intake by approximately 74 kcal per meal.

    Conclusions

    Capsaicinoids exert a small thermogenic and appetite-suppressing effect.

    Limitations

    Short-term studies; clinical relevance for weight loss uncertain.

    Outcomes Measured

    Thermogenic Effect

    Capsaicinoid intake raised energy expenditure by around 50 kcal/day and reduced ad libitum energy intake
