What is Green coffee bean extract?
Green coffee bean extract is a powder formed by grinding green coffee beans. Green coffee beans are simply unroasted coffee beans, which are often grown in Central and South America. These small beans now are being used as supplements to aid in weight loss and were even featured on the Dr. Oz show.
Green coffee bean extract is a relatively new ingredient on the market. It has strong anti-oxidant properties similar to other natural anti-oxidants like green tea and grape seed extract. It has polyphenols, such as chlorogenic acid, which act to help reduce free oxygen radicals in the body.
In March of 2012, Dr. Joe Vinson performed
a clinical study with this substance and found a significant connection between
consumption of green coffee and fat loss. Vinson speculates that this may be
due to chlorogenic acid, which Vinson believes reduces the absorption of
glucose and lowers the hyperglycemic peak. Vinson is a chemist at the
University of Scranton in Scranton, PA. He says his successful trial results
should pave the way for more research on this substance. So, a larger trial is
being planned. Dr. Vinson adds that green coffee bean extract may also reduce
insulin levels, which would improve metabolism function. He also said there
were no indications of negative side effects reported by any of the clinical
study participants.
What is chlorogenic acid?
Chlorogenic acid is a common dietary
polyphenol found in many plants including certain fruits, green tea and green
coffee bean. Chlorogenic acids are major secondary metabolites found in coffee
seeds. Chlorogenic acid has a metabolite called m-coumaric acid.
Chlorogenic acids, or CGAs,
include a group of closely related chemicals that possess a similar molecular
structure. The most abundant chlorogenic acid in coffee is 5-caffeoylquinic
acid. Your body metabolizes chlorogenic acid into its component chemicals,
quinic acid and caffeic acid. Other CGAs in coffee include dicaffeoylquinic,
feruloylquinic and coumaroylquinic acid. The relative concentrations of the
various CGAs in coffee beans affect the flavor and aroma of coffee.
In laboratory experiments,
chlorogenic acids demonstrate potent antioxidant effects.

Benefits of taking Green coffee bean extract
supplements:
Weight loss
Green coffee bean extracts help to release fatty acids from stored body fats, as well as aid the liver in dispensing fatty acids, which help burn off the excess fat the body has.
The effect of chlorogenic acid enriched
coffee on glucose absorption in healthy volunteers and its effect on body mass
when used long-term in overweight and obese people.
J Int Med Res. 2007. Thom E. ETC Research
and Development, Oslo, Norway.
The results from a clinical study performed
in 12 healthy volunteers with different coffee products containing glucose show
that instant coffee enriched with chlorogenic acid induced a reduction in the
absorption of glucose of 6.9% compared with control. No such effects were seen
with normal or decaffeinated instant coffee. In a second, comparative,
randomized, double-blind, 12-week study we investigated the effect on the body
mass of 30 overweight people, compared with normal instant coffee. The average
losses in mass in the chlorogenic acid enriched and normal instant coffee
groups were 5.4 and 1.7 kg, respectively. We conclude that chlorogenic acid
enriched instant coffee appears to have a significant effect on the absorption
and utilization of glucose from the diet. This effect, if the coffee is used
for an extended time, may result in reduced body mass and body fat when
compared with the use of normal instant coffee.
Boost digestion and metabolism.
By changing the process of how glucose is absorbed in the body, the acids in the green coffee beans help to improve your body’s metabolic rate.
Regulates blood sugar and reduce high blood pressure.
The chlorogenic acids in the bean neutralize free radicals in the body and regenerating vitamin E to control blood sugar levels. They help to reduce high blood pressure levels and are useful in treating hypertension.

Side effects and safety of Green coffee bean extract
Green coffee appears to be safe based on the limited research that has been done in people so far. In clinical research, no serious side effects were reported.
