Increases overall exercise performance (pooled composite)
ModerateEvidence strength: moderate. Human evidence with one recorded weakness, or capped at moderate by its design or by unread numbers.Finding“For overall athletic performance, the three-level variance analysis showed that capsaicin intake was significantly associated with a slight improvement in athletic performance (k = 67, g = 0.20, 95% CI [0.07, 0.33], p < 0.01) (see Figure 2).”
Quoted verbatim from Effects of acute Capsaicin analogue intake on athletic performance: a three-level meta-analysis.. - Study

- Dose
- single acute oral dose, 0.625 to 24 mg, mostly 45 min before exercise
- Population
- Healthy adults in 21 randomised crossover trials of acute single oral capsaicin analogue intake (capsaicin, capsiate, phenylcapsaicin, dihydrocapsiate) versus placebo; pooled across strength, power, muscular endurance and aerobic capacity outcomes

- PMID:40077683CAT:outcome/muscle-soreness decreases, grade B: full_text: Ground 2 (claim stronger than the Results; the Results disagree with themselves). The Results prose reports p = 0.109 (12 h) and 0.059 (24 h) for CAP vs PLA, both non-significant, yet calls them 'significant reductions' and concludes CAP outperformed PLA at all time points. Table 2 gives Sig 0.001 for every post-exercise timepoint. The prose p-values and Table 2 cannot both be right, so 'across all time points' is not settled by the Results. Immediate and 48 h (p = 0.001 in both prose and table) are consistent; 12 h and 24 h are not. Under the brief's rule a Results section that disagrees with itself is a refutation. Population, dose and route fields match Methods (12 men, crossover, 12 mg purified capsaicin 45 min before 200 jumps, VAS at 0/12/24/48 h, DOMS a primary outcome).2026-10-25
