Capsiplex

Imagine that you are sitting around with your friends flipping through a magazine.  Page after page of perfect women and men can make you realize every small imperfection in your own body.  It can be hard to be surrounded by such perfect actors.  But then you come across a page that has your favorite actress.  And under her picture it says that she uses Capsiplex to achieve her perfect body.  Would you buy it?  Honestly, I probably would!  I already use my favorite actress’s hair products and I love my hair so she must know what she is doing right?

Sadly, a lot of celebrity endorsements are not entirely truthful.  Many times the celebrity has not even used the product they are endorsing but they are being paid a lot of money to put their name on the product. That seems to be how Capsiplex got started.  They used several celebrity endorsements which brought them to the front of the diet pill industry.  But they seem to have fallen behind with all the newest products, why?

How Does Capsiplex Work?

Capsiplex uses capsicum extract.  This extract is extremely powerful and can be used to promote weight loss.  It comes from red hot peppers and has been shown to reduce appetite, increase metabolism, burn calories, and reduce body mass and fat.  However, to be effective it needs to be used in large amounts.  But these large amounts can be damaging to your internal organs.  Luckily, Capsiplex has a capsule that prevents the capsicum extract from being absorbed until it can’t harm your organs.

Capsiplex claims that they can help you burn an extra 278 calories.  They never tell you in what time frame you can expect to burn those calories but you can expect to burn about 278 calories.  Let’s take a look at that number for a minute.  Assuming that it works and you don’t change anything else about your diet, how much weight could you potentially lose?  As a certified personal trainer this is a question I often research helping clients.  A pound of fat is about 3,500 calories.  In order to lose a pound of fat you need to expend 3,500 calories more than you consume.  By burning an extra 278 calories a day you would expend an extra 1, 946 calories a week.  That isn’t even a pound of fat a week.  Hopefully it would be able to help you reduce the amount of calories you consume because just burning that many calories won’t make a significant different in weight loss.

Is Capsiplex Worth the Price?

Capsiplex is about $50 for a month supply.  They say that you can lose 4 pounds in the first week and then 1 to 2 pounds per week thereafter.  That is about 7 to 10 pounds the first month and 4 to 8 pounds each month after that.  That would be an average of 7.25 pounds a month (for the first two months) which would make it nearly $7 per pound lost.  But if you look at our calculations and you would only lose half a pound a week then you are looking at about $25 per pound lost.  All in all, Capsiplex is not the most effective diet pill on the market and it is expensive for what you can expect to see.  We would strongly suggest that you look for a product that is more cost effective.
