Abstract

The present systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to investigate the effects of capsinoids and fermented red pepper paste (FRPP) supplementation on Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP). Relevant studies, published up to May 2020, were searched through PubMed/Medline, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar. All randomized clinical trials investigating the effect of capsinoids and FRPP supplementation on blood pressure including SBP and DBP were included. Out of 335 citations, 7 trials that enrolled 363 subjects were included. Capsinoids and FRPP resulted in significant reduction in DBP (Weighted mean differences (WMD):-1.90mmHg; 95% CI,-3.72 to-0.09, P=0.04) but no significant change in SBP (WMD: 0.55mmHg, 95% CI:-1.45, 2.55, P=0.588). FRPP had a significant reduction in SBP. Greater effects on SBP were detected in trials, lasted ≥12 weeks, and sample size >50. Capsinoids with dosage ≤200 and FRPP with dosage of 11.9g significantly decreased DBP. Overall, these data suggest that supplementation with FRPP may play a role in improving SBP and DBP but for capsinoids no effects detected in this analysis on SBP and DBP.
