A supplement that burns calories?

A new weight loss supplement tested at the University of Oklahoma has the potential to burn as many calories as a 20-minute walk, according to researchers.


The tri-pepper blend supplement is a mix of black pepper, caffeine and a concentrated form of capsaicin, which is the ingredient that makes red peppers hot.

A group of study participants were given the supplement or a placebo followed by a metabolic rate test. The study measured oxygen consumed and carbon dioxide produced by participants to determine the arresting metabolic rate of each after receiving the supplements. The study confirmed the viability of the weight loss supplement.

Researcher and professor of exercise physiology Joel Cramer says the study showed energy expenditures of 3 percent to 6 percent, results which are statistically significant enough to validate product weight-loss claims.

Several herbal and dietary supplements are believed to help aid with weight loss. They include bitter orange, chitosan, chromium, conjugated linoleic acid, ephedra, green tea extract, guar gum and hoodia, according to the Mayo Clinic. Some healthcare experts say scientific proof of the effectiveness and safety of some of these supplements for weight loss has not yet been established.
