Cayenne pepper and weight loss-studies">ginger and metabolism: capsaicin in INTI explained
Each INTI shot contains organic cayenne pepper. This isn't for the spice — it's for capsaicin, its most studied active compound.
What is capsaicin?
Capsaicin is the alkaloid responsible for the spiciness of chili peppers. It acts on TRPV1 (vanilloid) receptors throughout the body, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract and nervous system.
Effects of capsaicin on metabolism
Thermogenesis
Capsaicin stimulates ginger thermogenesis — the body's heat production. Studies show a 4-5% increase in basal metabolic rate after capsaicin ingestion.
Fat oxidation
Capsaicin promotes the use of lipids as an energy source. Several meta-analyses confirm a modest but significant effect on lipolysis.
Satiety
It can reduce appetite and increase satiety by acting on gastrointestinal hormones (GLP-1, PYY).
Capsaicin + gingerols: INTI synergy
Ginger contains its own thermogenic compounds (6-shogaol, 6-paradol). In INTI, capsaicin from cayenne pepper and gingerols from ginger act synergistically on the same metabolic pathways — a potential multiplying effect.
