Capsinoids are compounds related to capsaicin that are primarily found in chili peppers. Capsinoids activate sensory receptors in the gastrointestinal tract and have been studied for their potential effects on fat loss and energy expenditure.
In this randomized crossover trial, supplementing with dihydrocapsiate before exercise did not improve muscle power, estimated maximum strength, or strength endurance.
The addition of capsiate to resistance training does not provide clear benefits
