Green Coffee Bean Extract - Another Overhyped Supplement?

By Milda Alford


Drinking coffee has been part of many people's lives especially in the morning when a quick caffeine fix is needed. But are you aware that there is a specific type of coffee that can also help you shed the pounds? Enter green coffee bean extract - it's just the same coffee beans, except this one didn't undergo the roasting process. Its popularity is hugely credited to it being featured in the Dr. Oz show.

The key to the fat-busting capabilities of green coffee bean extract lies with the substance known as chlorogenic acid. The roasting process is important in reducing the bitterness of coffee beans, but the amount of chlorogenic acid is being sacrificed because of it. Several tests have been conducted on this type of coffee extract and the results proved to be very satisfactory in 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 sure you're buying quality products, make it a point to buy only from reputable manufacturers. It would be ideal to go with manufacturers who are really in the business of supplements and that they have earned a good name from the quality of their products. Make sure that you take note of factors such as customer reviews, price, and features before you purchase a supplement.

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.

If you really want to achieve the best results when using green coffee bean extract supplements, you should still consider adapting a healthy lifestyle, particularly a balanced diet and sufficient exercise. While you still might get some results by using the supplement alone, it won't be nearly as good if you combine it with healthy eating and burning of calories through exercise.
