/ Capsaicin / Capsicum Extract is a botanical extract derived from Capsicum annuum fruit, standardized to Capsaicin. With CAS registry number 404-86-4, this ingredient belongs to the Fat Oxidation & Thermogenesis category of weight management actives. Capsaicin activates TRPV1 receptors, increasing sympathetic nervous system activity → thermogenesis (50-100 kcal/day extra energy expenditure) and 15% enhanced fat oxidation. Also suppresses appetite by modulating hypothalamic neuropeptides (NPY, ghrelin), reducing voluntary calorie intake by 5-10%. As a B2B manufacturer, Shaanxi Baisifu Biological Engineering Co., Ltd. supplies Capsaicin / Capsicum Extract in bulk quantities with full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring consistent Capsaicin content and regulatory compliance for dietary supplement, functional food, and nutraceutical applications.
Standard specifications for Capsaicin / Capsicum Extract bulk supply from Baisifu:
Capsaicin activates TRPV1 receptors, increasing sympathetic nervous system activity → thermogenesis (50-100 kcal/day extra energy expenditure) and 15% enhanced fat oxidation. Also suppresses appetite by modulating hypothalamic neuropeptides (NPY, ghrelin), reducing voluntary calorie intake by 5-10%.
Level I evidence. Ludy et al. (2012) meta-analysis confirmed capsaicinoid consumption increases thermogenesis and reduces energy intake. CAPSPICT study validated sustained metabolic effects using dihydrocapsiate (non-pungent analog) for consumer-friendly products.
FDA-approved as food additive (<1%). GI irritation common (heartburn, stomach pain). Contraindicated in GERD/peptic ulcer. May enhance bleeding risk with anticoagulants. No hepatotoxicity at standard doses.

Q1: Does Capsaicin really burn fat?
Capsaicin promotes thermogenesis by activating TRPV1 receptors, increasing energy expenditure 50-100 kcal/day. This produces modest but measurable fat loss over time, especially combined with exercise. It is not a literal "fat burner" — it increases metabolic rate.
Q2: What is the best Capsaicin dosage for weight loss?
2-25 mg capsaicin/day. For heat-sensitive consumers, dihydrocapsiate (3-9 mg/day) provides similar thermogenic effects without GI irritation.
Q3: How does Capsaicin compare to Green Tea Extract?
Different mechanisms — capsaicin via TRPV1/thermogenesis, EGCG via AMPK/fat oxidation. Combined use shows additive effects. Many commercial fat-burner formulas combine both.
For complementary weight management formulations, consider combining Capsaicin / Capsicum Extract with: Green Tea Extract, 6-Paradol, Yohimbine HCl, Black Ginger Extract. Multi-ingredient stacks targeting different mechanisms (lipase inhibition, AMPK activation, thermogenesis, appetite suppression) produce synergistic effects superior to single-ingredient products.
