Akay Bioactives, a global leader in natural bioactive ingredients, unveils groundbreaking clinical data on Capsifen® in Frontiers of Nutrition. This study showcases Capsifen®’s effectiveness in supporting healthy weight management and enhancing sports performance as a plant-sourced ergogenic aid. Capsifen® is a proprietary and clean sustained-intestinal delivery form of red chili pepper complex, utilizing FenuMat®, a patented self-emulsifying hydrogel technology. This innovative delivery system ensures the efficient absorption of capsaicinoids with improved bioavailability and masked pungency. In a 28-day study involving 105 healthy overweight participants, Capsifen® demonstrated a dose-dependent response, boosting energy expenditure, fat oxidation, and endurance. The FenuMat® formulation yielded significant benefits, including a reduction in body weight and enhanced time to exhaustion. These findings highlight Capsifen®'s potential to address overweight challenges by positively impacting energy balance and physical performance.
