The Indian company that has done most of its business in lutein and curcumin, presented its Capsimax-branded chili extract at Expo West in Anaheim recently, where it noted a growing body of science backing the thermogenic potential of chili extracts – i.e. the ability to increase metabolic and calorie-burn rates.

Grape polyphenols may protect against obesity: Study

Antioxidant-rich supplements containing polyphenols from Chardonnay grape seed may protect against oxidative stress linked to obesity, suggests a new study with hamsters.
Researchers from the University of Montpellier report that animals fed a high-fat diet but supplemented with the grape seed extract had adiponectin levels 61 per cent higher than animals only fed the high fat diet. Adiponectin is a protein hormone linked to various metabolic processes, and levels are inversely related to body fat levels.
