A wide, editorial-style still life photographed in soft natural window light on a pale oatmeal-colored linen surface. In the center-left, a small matte ceramic dish holds a modest pile of vivid red dried chili peppers and a few sliced fresh chilies, their glossy seeds catching the light. Beside it sits a minimalist amber glass capsule bottle without a label, with two translucent capsules spilled onto the linen, along with a tiny brass measuring spoon holding a pinch of fine orange-red powder.

On the right side of the frame, slightly out of focus, a worn black barbell rests across a wooden gym box, with a chalk-dusted steel plate leaning nearby. A small cloud of white chalk dust hangs delicately in the air, backlit by the light. A folded gray cotton gym towel and a simple stainless steel water bottle sit in the soft background.

In the foreground, a minimalist white notebook lies open with a clean hand-drawn line graph in thin black ink, with a small red dot marking one point. A mechanical pencil rests across the page.

The palette is warm and restrained: terracotta red, burnt orange, cream, charcoal, and muted sage green accents from a single leafy chili plant stem. Shallow depth of field, subtle film grain, gentle shadows, generous negative space at the top of the frame for a title overlay. Modern health and science journal aesthetic, calm, clean, tactile, and slightly moody, like a magazine feature on sports nutrition. No people, no text, no logos.

Fenilcapsaicina como pre‑entreno potencia sentadillas en CrossFit y reduce el dolor muscular

BY DR. GYMBRO · 1 nov 2026

Un compuesto derivado del chile, la fenilcapsaicina, fue evaluado en un ensayo cruzado triple ciego con 50 atletas de CrossFit. Una única dosis de 2,5 mg tomada 45 minutos antes del entrenamiento incrementó la carga y el número de repeticiones en sentadillas, redujo la caída del salto y disminuyó el dolor muscular a las 24 y 48 h. No tuvo efecto alguno sobre el WOD, ni sobre lactato, RPE o frecuencia cardíaca. Dos de los autores son asesores de una marca de suplementos, y el estudio solo cubre una dosis aguda. A continuación se explica qué demuestran los datos, qué no y a quién podría interesar probarlo.
