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.

Phenylcapsaicin pré‑treino aumentou agachamentos no CrossFit e reduziu a dor

BY DR. GYMBRO · 1 de nov. de 2026

Um composto derivado da pimenta, o phenylcapsaicin, foi testado em um estudo cruzado, triplo‑cego, com 50 atletas de CrossFit. Uma dose única de 2,5 mg, tomada 45 min antes do treino, aumentou a carga e as repetições nos agachamentos pós‑sessão, diminuiu a perda de altura no salto e reduziu a dor muscular em 24 e 48 h. Não houve efeito sobre o desempenho no WOD, nem alterações no lactato, RPE ou frequência cardíaca. Dois autores são consultores científicos de uma marca de suplementos e o estudo avaliou apenas uma dose aguda.
