CAPSICUM COMPOSITIONS AND USES THEREOF

摘要

Capsicum compositions are described that include biologically active constituents non-capsaicinoids and capsaicinoids in a specific ratio are useful for the treatment and management of cardiometabolic syndrome and associated risk factors, in a subject in need thereof. The capsicum compositions include a capsicum extract which is prepared by extracting capsicum pods by using suitable polar and non-polar solvents. Capsicum compositions include non-capsaicinoid components like saponins and polyphenols such as flavonoids, which along with capsaicinoids effectively reduce risk factors of cardiometabolic syndrome and also reduce oxidative stress on vital body organs by reducing inflammatory and/or oxidative markers. The capsicum compositions inhibit pancreatic lipase enzyme and enhance lipolysis, when administered in an effective amount to a subject in need thereof. Capsicum compositions as described herein are prepared by human intervention and are safe for consumption.
