Brief Summary   This is a randomised placebo-controlled clinical study. Healthy male and female volunteers with age between 21- 40 and BMI between 27kg/m to 40kh/m  will be enrolled in the study. All the volunteers should have practicing some kind of exercise at least for the last one month to manage the obesity or weight. This study will include four visits (Screening, Day 0, Day 28 and Day 56). During the screening, inclusion exclusion criteria for the subject are evaluated. All the safety and efficacy parameters values are collected before dispensing the investigational product to the volunteer’s on day 0 and that will consider as the Baseline value. Energy expenditure will be calculated by indirect colorimetric method. Subjects are requested to come 12 hours fasting for the indirect colorimetric assessment. All the volunteers are requested to consume a single dose of placebo or Capsifen (200mg) for a period of 56 days. Safety analysis will be performed on day 28 and day 56 and all the efficacy parameters will be evaluated at the end of the study (Day 56 ). The safety and efficacy of capsifen will be established by comparison of day 56 values with baseline values
