Capsimax brings the concentrated power of red chili peppers into a modern, stomach-friendly form. It helps increase energy expenditure, support fat burning, and reduce cravings — all clinically studied and incredibly easy to use.
Control Appetite & Crush Cravings
Beyond its thermogenic and fat-burning effects, Capsimax has also been shown to help reduce appetite. In clinical studies, participants reported less hunger and fewer cravings for snacks between meals — making it easier to eat less without feeling deprived.
Innovative Omnibead™-Technology
Engineered to protect your stomach and ensure gentle, controlled release in the intestine — for maximum effect without irritation.
Clinically Studied
The benefits for calorie burn, fat oxidation, and appetite control are supported by multiple human studies.
Stimulant-Free
No caffeine. No jitters. No increased heart rate. Just clean, thermogenic support that doesn’t stress your system.
Natural & Safe
Capsimax is purity-tested and holds GRAS status (Generally Recognized As Safe).
Glucomannan
More Fullness — Less Hunger
When taken with water before a meal, Glucomannan expands into a gentle, gel-like fiber in your stomach.
This increases stomach volume and sends a faster signal to your brain:
“I’m full.”
The result: You naturally eat less — without feeling hungry or deprived.
The Result
● You naturally eat less
● Cravings decrease dramatically
● Snacking becomes unnecessary
↳ Just 3 grams per day (split into three servings before meals) are enough to reliably produce this effect.
Fewer Calories — Better Weight Loss
When you feel full sooner, you naturally eat less. Eating less means fewer calories — and that’s the real key to losing weight.
Glucomannan doesn’t “burn fat” directly. Instead, it makes it much easier to stay in a calorie deficit — without hunger, cravings, or frustration.
Especially during dieting phases, this powerful fiber helps you stay consistent and push through without feeling like you’re fighting your body.
Important
Always take with plenty of water (at least 1–2 glasses) to ensure the fiber can expand safely..
Ideal
Take 30 minutes before meals
Consitency is key
Best results with 4–8 weeks of consistent use
Zinc
Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in numerous metabolic processes and may play a supportive role in healthy weight management. Several studies have examined how zinc influences body weight and body composition.
Appetite Regulation
Zinc influences the production of leptin, the hormone responsible for signaling fullness — which may help reduce appetite and support better control over food intake.
Zinc Supplementation and Weight Loss
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with 40 obese adults investigated the effects of daily zinc supplementation (30 mg) over 15 weeks in combination with a calorie-reduced diet. The results showed that the zinc group had significant reductions in body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and hip circumference compared to the placebo group. Additionally, lower levels of inflammatory markers and insulin resistance were observed.
Meta-Analysis on Zinc and Body Weight
A systematic review and meta-analysis of 27 randomized controlled trials, including a total of 1,438 participants, found that zinc supplementation can reduce body weight in overweight or obese, otherwise healthy individuals. However, the observed weight loss was moderate, and the authors emphasized that further high-quality studies are needed to draw definitive conclusions.
Improvement of Insulin Sensitivity
Zinc plays a role in glucose metabolism and can reduce insulin resistance, which may promote fat loss.
Anti-Inflammatory Effect
Zink besitzt antioxidative Eigenschaften und kann Entzündungen reduzieren, die mit Adipositas assoziiert sind.
Capsimax®

Capsimax helps your body use stored fat reserves as an energy source. It stimulates a process called lipolysis, in which fat cells are broken down. Especially when combined with light exercise, Capsimax can enhance fat burning* and help target belly fat reduction
This means: Your body burns more energy, even while you’re sitting on the couch.
Innovative Omnibead™ Technology
Protects the stomach and ensures a gentle yet effective release in the intestines.
Clinically Tested
The effects on calorie expenditure, fat burning*, and appetite control* are scientifically proven in multiple studies.
Stimulant-Free
No caffeine, no racing heart – Capsimax works thermogenically without straining the cardiovascular system.
Natural & Safe
Capsimax is purity-tested and has GRAS status (generally recognized as safe).
Chromium
Chromium is an essential trace element that plays a role in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. In particular, there is discussion about whether chromium supplementation can support weight loss.
Possible Mechanisms of Action
Chromium is believed to enhance the action of insulin, which can lead to better regulation of blood sugar levels. This may theoretically reduce appetite and support fat metabolism. However, the exact mechanisms and their impact on body weight are not yet fully understood.
Scientific Studies and Meta-Analyses
A 2019 meta-analysis reviewed 19 studies including a total of 1,316 overweight or obese participants. The results showed that chromium supplementation led to an average weight loss of 0.75 kg. Additionally, there was a reduction in body mass index (BMI) by 0.40 and body fat percentage by 0.68%. However, the authors emphasized that the clinical significance of these modest effects remains unclear, and further research is needed.
Cochrane Review from 2013
This systematic review analyzed nine randomized controlled trials using chromium picolinate in overweight or obese adults. The results showed a small but significant weight loss of about 1 kg compared to placebo. However, the authors noted that the evidence is of low quality, and the clinical relevance of this weight reduction remains questionable.
Green tea extract
Scientific Evidence
Metabolism and Fat Burning: Studies suggest that the catechins and caffeine in green tea extract may boost energy metabolism and increase fat burning. A meta-analysis of eleven studies found that green tea consumption can significantly reduce body weight and may help with weight maintenance.
Combination with Physical Activity
Research suggests that taking green tea extract in combination with physical activity can enhance fat burning. One study found that men who consumed green tea extract before exercise burned 17% more fat than those who did not.
Green tea extract, derived from the leaves of the green tea plant (Camellia sinensis), contains bioactive compounds such as catechins—particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)—and caffeine. These components have been studied for their potential effects on weight loss and fat burning.
Biotin
Activate Metabolism
Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is a crucial cofactor for your energy metabolism. It helps your body convert nutrients from food—especially fats, carbohydrates, and proteins—into usable energy. A well-functioning metabolism is the foundation for successful weight loss.
This means: Your body becomes more efficient at using calories as an energy source rather than storing them as fat.
Scientifically Proven
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) officially confirms that biotin contributes to normal energy metabolism and the metabolism of macronutrients.

Vitamin B1 + B6
Energy & Metabolism Boost
The vitamins B1 (thiamine) and B6 (pyridoxine) are a true power duo for your metabolism. They are essential for releasing energy from food and play a central role in protein and glycogen metabolism. Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in muscles and the liver—your direct energy source for every activity.
Less Tired, More Power
Do you often feel sluggish and low on energy? Vitamin B6 has been shown to help reduce tiredness and fatigue, keeping you motivated and giving you more strength for an active lifestyle.
Scientifically Proven
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) confirms their effects: Vitamin B1 and B6 contribute to normal energy metabolism, with Vitamin B6 additionally helping to reduce tiredness.
Stimulant-Free
These vitamins naturally boost your energy—without any other stimulants that could strain the circulatory system.

Guarana
Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is a plant from the Amazon region, whose seeds are known for their high caffeine content. Various studies have investigated the potential of guarana to support weight loss.
Possible Mechanisms of Action
The positive effects of guarana on weight may be due to several factors:
● High Caffeine Content:** Guarana contains more caffeine than coffee, which can stimulate metabolism and fat burning.
● Activation of Brown Fat Tissue:** Stimulating brown fat tissue leads to increased calorie expenditure.
Animal Studies
A 2019 study investigated the effects of guarana on rats fed a high-fat diet. The results showed that guarana supplementation reduced weight gain, insulin resistance, and adipokine dysregulation. This was attributed to the activation of brown fat tissue, leading to increased energy expenditure.
Another study from 2018 confirmed these findings, showing that guarana promotes mitochondrial biogenesis in mice fed a high-fat diet. This resulted in increased energy expenditure and reduced fat accumulation.
Human Studies
Research in humans is limited. One study combined guarana with other ingredients such as Ma Huang and found that participants experienced greater weight loss and fat reduction. However, since multiple active compounds were combined, it is difficult to isolate the specific effects of guarana.

“I’m full.”
The result: You naturally eat less — without feeling hungry or deprived.
Positive effect on digestion
Glucomannan is prebiotic, meaning it serves as food for the 'good' gut bacteria and thus supports a healthy gut flora. At the same time, the swelling gel stimulates digestion – which can have a positive effect in cases of sluggish digestion or mild feelings of fullness.
Additional health benefits
● Reduction of cholesterol levels
● Improvement of post-meal blood sugar levels
● Delayed gastric emptying → prolonged satiety
↳ These effects also make Glucomannan interesting for people who want to improve their diet in the long term.
Important
Always take with plenty of water (at least 1–2 glasses) to ensure the fiber can expand safely.
Ideal
Take 30 minutes before a meal
Regular use
For best results, use for at least 4–8 weeks
