CAPSIMAX™ CAYENNE FRUIT EXTRACT (2% CAPSACINOIDS)

CAPSIMAX™ is a highly standardized cayenne fruit extract, derived from Capsicum annuum L., a species renowned for its pungent fruits. This particular extract is precisely standardized to contain 2% capsaicinoids, the primary bioactive compounds responsible for cayenne's characteristic heat and its diverse physiological effects. Utilizing advanced encapsulation technology, CAPSIMAX™ delivers the benefits of capsaicinoids without the common gastric discomfort often associated with raw cayenne powder. This innovative delivery system ensures a controlled release, maximizing absorption in the lower gastrointestinal tract while minimizing irritation in the esophagus and stomach. The raw material selection adheres to stringent quality controls, ensuring a consistent and potent ingredient for various supplement formulations. Traditional uses of cayenne pepper have long included its application for digestive support and circulatory health across numerous cultures.

The health benefits of CAPSIMAX™ are primarily attributed to its capsaicinoid content, notably capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, and nordihydrocapsaicin. These compounds exert their effects through activation of Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channels, a mechanism that influences thermogenesis and energy expenditure. Research, such as a study published in Obesity Reviews, suggests that capsaicinoids can promote metabolic health by increasing fat oxidation and reducing appetite, thereby supporting weight management efforts. Furthermore, capsaicinoids have demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties by modulating various signaling pathways, including NF-κB, which is crucial for cellular responses to stress and inflammation. This multifaceted action contributes to its potential role in enhancing overall physiological well-being.

CAPSIMAX™ is ideally suited for integration into a wide array of supplement formulations, including weight management complexes, pre-workout products, and metabolic support blends. Its encapsulated form makes it highly versatile for use in capsules, tablets, and powders, overcoming palatability issues typically associated with cayenne. Clinical studies, including a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial published in Clinical Nutrition, have validated the efficacy of capsaicinoids in enhancing resting energy expenditure and promoting fat loss in healthy individuals. The quality of CAPSIMAX™ is ensured through rigorous testing for purity, potency, and absence of contaminants, aligning with global regulatory standards. Manufacturers benefit from its consistent 2% capsaicinoid standardization, guaranteeing predictable and reliable outcomes in their final products, backed by robust scientific evidence.
