Acute ingestion of 10 mg purified capsinoids increases resting energy expenditure and shifts substrate utilization toward lipid oxidation, but these effects do not persist during moderate-intensity exercise.
Take 10 mg of purified capsinoids (containing capsiate, dihydrocapsiate, and norhydrocapsiate) on an empty stomach, ideally 30 minutes before you sit down for work or rest, not before your workout. This specific dose has been shown to increase your resting calorie burn by about 20% and shift your body to burn more fat for fuel while you are inactive. Do not expect this to enhance your exercise performance or fat burning during the activity itself, as the metabolic boost from the exercise itself overrides the supplement's effect.
The ingestion of 10 mg of capsinoids increased adrenergic activity, energy expenditure, and resulted in a shift in substrate utilization toward lipid at rest but had little effect during exercise or recovery.
