The need for effective, safe, and quality weight management products is higher than ever. From 2000 to 2017, the U.S. obesity rate jumped by more than ten percent to its current rate of 41.9%. Obesity contributes to many devastating health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and some kinds of cancer. The estimated annual cost of healthcare for obesity was more than $170 billion in 2019.
The scope of obesity prevalence in the U.S. is reflected in a massive market for weight management supplements, cleanses, diet kits, etc. There is a huge opportunity to meet consumer demand while providing definitive and safe results with Capsimax, OmniActive’s Capsicum extract made from red chili peppers. Capsimax is backed by scientific studies that demonstrate its efficacy in supporting healthy weight management and sports nutrition.
What is Capsicum annuum?
Capsicum annuum is a family of chili peppers that humans have been using as food and medicine for thousands of years. These chilies are widely cultivated in South America, Asia, Africa, and Mediterranean countries. Capsicum Annuum includes a wide range of chilies like bell peppers, jalapeno, and cayenne peppers. These chilies contain high amounts of capsaicinoids, the active ingredient in Capsimax. Capsaicinoids are the main naturally-occurring active compound in chili peppers.
Where to Get Capsicum Extract
Here at OmniActive, we provide supplement manufacturers with a high quality, capsicum extract made from red chili peppers. Our scientifically backed Capsimax delivers a potent and absorbable dose of capsaicinoids, which is the active ingredient. Since capsaicinoids are extracted from red chilis, there maybe some gastrointestinal (GI) irritation. Here at OmniActive, we use the Omnibead technology to protect against GI irritation.

We are unique in our ability to provide potent capsicum extracts in an easily digestible form.
