Performance evidence brief
Capsaicin / capsiate
There is a plausible acute ergogenic signal, but evidence is still small, protocol-specific, and not a broad fat-loss or pre-workout recommendation.
Performance evidence brief
There is a plausible acute ergogenic signal, but evidence is still small, protocol-specific, and not a broad fat-loss or pre-workout recommendation.
Systematic reviews suggest possible acute performance effects, but protocols are small and specific.
Human studies often use acute dosing near training; pungency and gastrointestinal tolerance limit practical use.
Food-spice intake, thermogenesis claims, and exercise-performance trials are separate; meaningful fat-burner claims are not supported.

The score reflects evidence that the supplement does its stated job. Some jobs are direct, such as strength, endurance, or recovery; others are indirect, such as sleep, mood, appetite, or health support. A real effect can still receive a cautious practical rating when dose, safety, product quality, or audience fit remain uncertain.
