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.

Phenylcapsaïcine‑pre‑workout verhoogt CrossFit‑squats en vermindert spierpijn

BY DR. GYMBRO · 1 nov 2026

In een triple‑blind placebogecontroleerde crossover‑studie met 50 CrossFit‑atleten liet een enkele dosis van 2,5 mg phenylcapsaïcine de squat‑belasting en het aantal herhalingen stijgen, het verlies in spronghoogte beperken en de spierpijn na 24 en 48 uur verminderen. De WOD‑prestaties, lactaat, RPE en hartslag bleven echter onveranderd. Twee auteurs zijn adviseurs van een supplementenmerk en de studie testte slechts één acute dosis.
