    Whiting S, Derbyshire EJ, Tiwari B

    Published in Appetite

    Methodology

    Systematic review of randomized trials of capsaicin and capsinoids on energy expenditure, appetite and energy intake.

    Key Findings

    Capsaicinoids produced small increases in energy expenditure of roughly 50 kcal per day and modest appetite reduction.

    Conclusions

    Capsaicinoids raise metabolic rate slightly but the effect is unlikely to drive meaningful weight change alone.

    Limitations

    Small trials; adherence limited by tolerability at effective doses.

    Outcomes Measured

    Metabolism Boost

    Capsaicinoids produced small increases in energy expenditure of roughly 50 kcal per day
