No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this study is to examine whether a specific spice is capable of affecting energy metabolism.

Since chili and other spices have been shown to increase energy expenditure and in some cases also affect energy intake/appetite compared to placebo, the investigators expect that the specific spice may actually increase energy expenditure and potentially also decrease appetite - although not to a large degree.
