Descripción detallada
This study is a clinical investigation designed to understand how a natural compound found in chili peppers may influence the health of individuals with excess body weight, and why some people respond better than others to this type of intervention.
In recent years, it has been observed that certain compounds present in foods can affect metabolism-that is, how the body uses energy, regulates appetite, and stores fat. However, not all individuals respond in the same way to these compounds. This suggests that there are individual differences, possibly related to genetics, that may modify their effects.
The study will be conducted with a small group of adults with excess body weight, who will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive daily supplementation with capsules containing an active compound derived from chili peppers, while the other group will receive identical capsules without the active ingredient (placebo). Neither the participants nor the researchers will know who receives which treatment during the study, helping to ensure more objective results.
The intervention will last 16 weeks, during which changes in body weight, body composition (such as fat mass), and metabolic health indicators such as blood glucose and lipid levels will be evaluated.
In addition to assessing the overall effects of the supplement, the study also aims to determine whether genetic characteristics can explain why some individuals show better responses than others. This could, in the future, support the development of more personalized dietary strategies tailored to each person's biological needs.
Overall, this research aims to contribute to the understanding of the potential of chili-derived compounds in supporting weight management, while also advancing toward a more personalized approach in nutrition and health.

Grupo de participantes/brazo |
Intervención / Tratamiento |
|---|---|
|
Comparador activo: Capsaicin supplementation (Capsipro)
Participants assigned to this group will receive capsaicin supplementation.
The dose will consist of two oral capsules per day, each containing 100 mg and standardized to 2% capsaicin, administered for 16 weeks.
|
This intervention differs from similar studies due to the use of standardized capsaicin in fixed-dose capsules, rather than chili extracts, whole foods, or non-standardized mixtures.
It is also distinguished by a continuous daily administration regimen over 16 weeks, which allows the assessment of sustained effects over time on anthropometric and metabolic parameters under controlled conditions.

|
Comparador de placebos: Corn starch placebo
Participants assigned to this group will receive two oral capsules per day of a corn starch-based placebo, identical in appearance to the active treatment, administered for 16 weeks.
|
Capsules indistinguishable from Capsipro, composed of corn starch, administered twice daily for 16 weeks

Change in appetite
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline to 16 weeks
|
Appetite will be assessed using the validated Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire (SNAQ). The SNAQ consists of 4 items with a total score ranging from 4 to 20 points, where higher scores indicate better appetite. |

Genetic Risk Score for Capsaicinoid Response
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline to 16 weeks
|
A genetic risk score (GRS) will be calculated from genotype data obtained through molecular genetic analysis of blood samples. The score will be based on the presence of risk genotypes in rs4411417 and rs3783541 (GCH1); rs8065080, rs222747, rs224534, rs222749, and rs460716 (TRPV1); rs713598 and rs1726866 (TAS2R38); rs765007 (TAS2R3); rs2234001 (TAS2R4); and rs2234012 (TAS2R5), assuming additive and independent effects across all loci. The total score will represent the number of risk alleles/genotypes identified in each participant. |
