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).”

- meta-analysis
- 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
