Capsiplex Pills – Good for Weight Loss?

With claims that it burns off as many calories as a 25-minute jog, it’s no wonder that Capsiplex – a new slimming pill – has made headline news. But is Capsiplex safe and will it really shift those pounds? Dietitian Juliette Kellow investigates…

The latest slimming pill to reach UK shores really does sound too good to be true. Capsiplex claims to help you lose weight whilst doing nothing more than sitting at your desk, thanks to its ability to burn up to 278 calories – the same amount as in a hamburger, slice of pizza or two large chocolate chip cookies.
With a celebrity following that allegedly includes A-listers such as Jennifer Lopez, Brad Pitt and Britney Spears, it’s no wonder us Brits are going mad for it. But whilst Capsiplex might be big news for newspapers, is it also big news for our waistlines?

What is Capsiplex?

Capsiplex is a slimming supplement that contains an ingredient called capsaicin, a naturally occurring compound found in chilli peppers (capsicums) that gives them their heat.
It also contains three other ingredients: caffeine, niacin (a B vitamin) and piperine (found in black pepper). As a result, it claims to be 100 percent natural.

How does Capsiplex work?

The product claims that the chilli pepper (or capsaicin) in the pills stimulates our metabolism so we burn more calories and therefore reduce body fat.

Is there any proof it works?

All the claims for Capsiplex are based on one small trial carried out at the University of Oklahoma. In the study, 25 subjects took either a Capsiplex pill or a placebo before exercising.
Researchers then monitored the amount of energy they expended and their oxygen consumption and heart rate 60 minutes before they began exercising, during a 60-minute exercise period that consisted of walking on a treadmill and then 50 minutes after exercising.
The study found that subjects taking the Capsiplex slimming pills burnt three times more calories before exercise, three percent more calories during exercise and 12 times more calories up to one hour after exercising – amounting to an extra 278 calories in total.

So can chillies really aid weight loss?

A small number of animal and human studies have looked at whether chilli consumption increases metabolism. It certainly seems that adding chilli to meals increases the production of heat in the body for a short time, which, in turn means the body has to work harder to regulate its temperature. As a result, a small amount of extra calories are burnt. However, the effects are only short lived.
Longer term effects can be seen from doing regular activity and exercise, which increases your metabolism naturally.
Meanwhile, no research has been carried out to see if the active ingredient in chillies – capsaicin – is an effective long-term treatment for obesity.
Ultimately, until considerably more research is carried out, it’s impossible to say whether chillies truly aid weight loss. In reality though, it’s unlikely they will ever be the magic slimming ingredient so many of us desire.

What makes this pill different?

Lots of slimming pills include chilli, so what is it the makers of Capsiplex think set this one apart?
Several slimming supplements certainly include ingredients like cayenne pepper, chilli or capsaicin. However, the manufacturers of Capsiplex say that chilli peppers consumed in the amounts needed for effective calorie burning would considerably irritate the stomach lining if taken in the dosage needed.
They say that in order to prevent this irritation, many supplements use diluted, ineffective quantities of chilli pepper extract.
Capsiplex differs because the supplements use a special coating that’s designed to withstand the acidity of the stomach. As a result, the capsicum extract bypasses the stomach where it can cause irritation and instead is released directly into the intestine, where no discomfort is supposedly felt.
