Green coffee bean extract comes from coffee beans that have not been roasted or highly processed. Regular coffee is roasted at high temperatures (475 degrees Fahrenheit) changing the chemical structure of the bean, color, aroma, taste, as well as nutrients. Green coffee bean extract is a rich source of several antioxidants including a number of polyphenols. One of them is called chlorogenic acids (CGA) which may act as a natural weight loss agent and fat burner.
In a 2008 article, published in the Journal of Nutrition, it was found that green coffee bean extract contains caffeoylquinic acids and dicaffeoylquinic acids being the main chlorogenic acids (CGA) that may act as natural weight loss agents and fat burners.
Green coffee extract is known to increase alertness and energy due to its caffeine content and therefore has effects on the release of certain hormones and neurotransmitters. It is considered a stimulant affecting function of the central nervous system.
Green coffee extract may promote weight loss. While it is not a quick-fix way to reach a healthier weight, clinical studies suggest that chlorogenic acid is highly absorbable once taken and helps the body burn glucose and stored body fat for energy. It may also support the reduction of inflammation, slow release of sugar into the bloodstream, and regulate the release of insulin bringing glucose into the cells.
Other studies have shown that green coffee extract may promote the lowering of blood pressure. There is also evidence that chlorogenic acid has hypo-glycemic agents and may positively affect lipid metabolism supporting a reduction in cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in the blood.
This product also contains chromium chelate. It is an essential trace mineral that helps the body maintain normal blood sugar levels. Chromium has been studied for its potential role in altering body composition. Preliminary research on animals as well as humans suggests that chromium increases fat loss and promotes a gain in lean muscle tissue. Double-blind research has also reported a reduction in body fat and body weight in people who took 400 mcg of chromium per day for three months.
