Nutrition Horizon -- Oct 12 2010 --- Results announced from a study undertaken at the University of Memphis by Bloomer et al published in Lipids in Health and Disease found the proprietary hot red pepper extract Capsimax from OmniActive to promote a lipolytic effect as measured by an increase in free fatty acids and glycerol in blood compared to placebo. In addition to demonstrating this beneficial effect, Capsimax had no adverse impact on heart rate, systolic or diastolic blood pressure. There were also no observed side effects related to gastric upset or discomfort despite the fact that individuals fasted for 12 hours prior to the supplementation.
