Obesity is a growing problem worldwide, which puts people at risk of developing serious health problems such as diabetes and heart disease. Capsaicinoids are compounds which are found in peppers. The most common of which is capsicum, which is an important component of chili peppers.

The aim of this study is to look at the effects on the body of taking capsaicinoid-containing supplements for a week with breakfast.
