What You Should Know
Capsicum Pure is a hot pepper extract supplement that claims the dieter can lose weight using the power of hot peppers without the side effects of eating the peppers. There is some clinical support for the effects of hot pepper extract on weight loss, but is the formula for Capsicum Pure safe and effective or are there ingredients that could cause potential side effects? Based on the ingredient label shown on the official website, there are potentially dangerous ingredients that dieters should avoid.
List of Ingredients
Ingredients:
- Capsicum Frutescens
- Conjugated Linoleic Acid
- Garcinia Cambogia Extract
Product Features
The two ingredients in the formula that worry us are the conjugated linoleic acid and garcinia cambogia extract. Conjugated linoleic acid, also referred to as CLA, was once the popular ingredient on the block. Dieters who have tried just about every supplement may know this ingredient as Tonalin, the popular brand name that introduced CLA for weight loss to the world. Unfortunately, CLA is not clinically proven to aid in weight loss and may actually cause gastrointestinal distress for some dieters. The distress typically presents as gas and bloating. These side effects tend to diminish over time.
Garcinia cambogia has been used for more than a decade in weight loss supplements, but recent reports of liver toxicity and damage leave us considering the potential side effects compared to the proven benefits. With regular exercise and a reduced calorie diet, hot pepper extract like that used in Capsicum Pure may help the dieter lose more weight, but adding a potentially dangerous ingredient like garcinia cambogia may cause some dieters to second guess using Capsicum Pure.
Advantages
- Hot pepper extract may help promote weight loss.
- The extract in supplements like Capsicum Pure will not burn the mouth like hot peppers.
Disadvantages
- Garcinia cambogia could cause side effects in some dieters.
- CLA is not clinically proven to promote weight loss in overweight and obese dieters.
Conclusion
Capsicum Pure offers dieters an informative website that pushes the power of hot pepper extract, but fails to mention the potential side effects recently associated with garcinia cambogia. Though no direct connection has been made by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), when Hydroxycut recalled all supplements containing the ingredient in a voluntary recall, the FDA was right there overseeing the recall. Any diet supplement with potential side effects is a supplement we believe the dieter should skip. There are safe and effective options like green tea, caffeine and chromium out there than could have been added to the hot pepper extract to increase effectiveness of the supplement.
