How Much Green Coffee Bean Extract Is Enough?

By Karly Yacano


If you are a big lover of coffee, you will sure be glad to know that there is a way that you can lose weight while getting some caffeine fix. Since the coffee you drink is made from roasted coffee beans, what you need to be acquainted with is the variant that has not been roasted - introducing green coffee bean extract. After being featured in the show of the famous Dr. Oz, it instantly became a big sensation.

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.

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.

When choosing a weight loss supplement made with green coffee extract, make sure to check the list of ingredients. Stay away from any product that does not provide an ingredients list. There shouldn't be any hint of fillers or artificial ingredients in the label. If you find any ingredients in the list that sound weird or look off, it may be wise to call or email the manufacturer and ask 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.

Another thing to remember before you buy any green coffee bean extract is that there is still no substitute to having a balanced diet and proper exercise whenever you want to achieve ideal weight reduction. Diet supplements like this can indeed work, and you would be able to get results faster if you are consuming less calories than the amount you are burning when you exercise.
