Why Is Green Coffee Bean Extract So Popular?

By Josefa Matte


For many people, having a cup of coffee in the morning is a way to jumpstart their day, but did you know that there is a type of coffee that can also help you lose weight? If you take coffee beans that have not been roasted, what you get is green coffee beans. Green coffee bean extract has received much popularity as a weight-loss supplement after it was mentioned by Dr. Oz in his show.

The secret to the powers of green coffee bean extract is a substance known as chlorogenic acid. While the roasting process used in coffee beans takes out its bitter taste, it also causes the chlorogenic acid to be reduced significantly, if not completely destroyed. There have been quite a number of scientific tests conducted on green coffee and all of them caused reduction of fat and body weight.

One thing that is quite noticeable in weight-loss supplements being sold these days is that quite a lot are actually made from green coffee bean extract. Since it contains chlorogenic acid, the bloodstream is able to delay the absorption of glucose and consequently cause absorption of fat to be reduced. When looking for a supplement, make sure it contains either GCA (green coffee antioxidant) or Svetol.

When it comes to the chlorogenic acid content, the ideal amount that has been mentioned by Dr. Oz is at 45%. This is because the tests conducted previously all used a minimum chlorogenic acid of 45% and anything below may not be as effective. Dosage can range anywhere from 200mg to 800mg. With the Dr. Oz experiment, the test subjects took 400mg, three times a day.

Since there are many green coffee extract supplements being sold out there, one thing you should look at carefully is the ingredients list. Make sure that it does not contain any kind of fillers or binders. If a product does not have any ingredients list, you'd best stay away from it. If by any chance you find any unfamiliar ingredient, don't hesitate to contact the manufacturer to get clarifications about it.

To minimize risk, always buy from a reputable brand, particularly those that have been in the business for several years. Their product should have very good reviews and feedback from consumers. It is always a good idea to do some research on different brands and take note of the features, price, and reviews and then make an informed decision will work best with your situation.

When used properly, supplements made from green coffee bean extract are generally safe and do not cause any negative side effects. But just like any other product, using it beyond the intended dosage may be detrimental to your health, especially if you are allergic to caffeine. Also, keep in mind that weight-loss supplements such as this are not recommended for pregnant women.

As a final word, before you proceed with purchasing supplements made from green coffee bean extract, you should still aim to have a healthy lifestyle. This means that you should still not ignore having a balanced diet and adequate exercise. Of course you might lose weight without those, but the best way to lose weight and keep it off is if you eat quality food and burn those extra calories.
