The Benefits In Coffee Bean Extract Worth Mentioning

By Tyron Nihart


Green coffee bean extract has received a lot of exposure on TV thanks to the Dr. Oz Show. After that particular episode, the interest in this new weight loss supplement has sky-rocketed. The good doctor has explained in his show that the extract from green coffee beans has the capability to trim down your weight even without diet and exercise, but how true are these claims?

It is quite known that caffeine has something to do with losing weight, but the thing is, it is not the case with green coffee bean extract. Since green coffee is not roasted, it maintains a high level of the substance known as chlorogenic acid and it is the real deal when it comes to helping people lose weight. Chlorogenic acid is what reduces the body's absorption of fat and glucose, which ultimately leads to weight loss.

There were about 100 women who participated in the experiment conducted by Dr. Oz and it was shown that those who took the extract lost weight of two pounds on the average, for a period of 2 weeks and while taking 400mg of chlorogenic acid. In addition, the American Chemical Society hosted an experiment using the extract and the participants had an average of 17 pounds lost over the course of 22 weeks.

Dr. Oz did not mention a particular brand since he did not want to be associated with one in any way, be he recommended that people look for a green coffee bean extract that has a minimum of 45% chlorogenic acid. It is also possible to see chlorogenic acid referred to in labels as either Svetol or GCA (green coffee antioxidant). Pregnant women or those below 18 are advised against taking this extract.

Because of the buzz surrounding green coffee extract, it is not surprising why a lot of products have been sprouting all over the market today. The problem is that some products are of low quality and are just after your money. Always make it a point to read the labels, especially the list of ingredients. Quality products are those made from pure green coffee and does not contain additives or fillers.

The coffee bean extract should not have any extra amount of caffeine besides what it is supposed to contain naturally. A good benchmark would be to have just 20mg of caffeine for every 800mg of chlorogenic acid. At this rate, you get less than 20% caffeine compared to regular roasted coffee. Over indulgence with caffeine usually leads to increased heart rate, insomnia, nervousness, and restlessness.

Before you proceed to purchasing any green coffee bean extract, you should read more about the claims of the manufacturer about the product and make sure it is not exaggerated. They should also provide you with any possible side effects. A quality product will have a clear listing of ingredients, the manufacturer, and contact details should the consumer have any product concerns.

Keep in mind though that with any type of supplements, there must still be some hard work and discipline on your part if you want to achieve the best results. Most people think that they can forego having a healthy diet and exercise and just take green coffee bean extract - this is simply not the best path to take if you want to truly lose weight the healthy way and keep if off permanently.
