Green Coffee Bean Extract - The Facts That Matter

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.

So what makes green coffee bean extract so special compared with its regular counterpart? The thing that makes it special is its high amount of the substance called chlorogenic acid. Regular coffee beans have little to no chlorogenic acid particularly because of the roasting process it undergoes. Green coffee beans are extracted in its raw form and several tests show that it is very capable of weight reduction.

If you will observe the type of supplements being sold on the market today, a significant number are made from green coffee bean extract. Through the powers of chlorogenic acid, it is possible to keep glucose absorption to a minimum and this means less fat absorption as well. It is important to look for a supplement that contains GCA (green coffee antioxidant) or the brand name 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.

Before making a purchasing decision with green coffee extract supplements, the ingredients list should be adequately reviewed. Be doubtful of those that do not provide an ingredients list. You should not find any type of artificial stuff or fillers too. If by any chance you notice any ingredient that sound too complex, you can always drop an email or call the manufacturer for clarifications.

To be on the safe side, it would be ideal to buy products that come from a well-known manufacturer. A good indicator would be the number of years they have been in the business and the feedback their products get. Of course you can always jot down several brands and then make an evaluation of each one based on factors such as features, price, and consumer feedback.

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.
