Recently featured on the Doctor Oz show, and in a variety of other shows and publications, Green Coffee Bean Extract has been proven to show great benefits as a weight loss supplement. Dr. Oz declared green coffee bean extract to be a powerful fat burner.

What are Green Coffee beans?

Green Coffee beans are fresh coffee beans in their pure unroasted natural form. Roasting coffee beans adds to the flavor but destroys the chemicals that help product weight loss benefits.

The powerful weight loss properties of green coffee are not due to the caffeine. Green coffee contains less than 20 mg of caffeine as compared to a regular cup of coffee which contains more than 100 mg. You will not have the nervous or jittery feelings or stimulant effect while taking green coffee bean extract. Studies have shown that green coffee extract actually lowers blood pressure while boosting metabolism.

It is the Chlorogenic Acid that gives green coffee bean extract its weight loss properties. Chlorogenic acid can stimulate fat burning actions and inhibit the release of glucose in the body, which in turn will burn the fat which is stored in the liver.

Even though participants in the studies didn’t make any changes in their diet or lifestyle while taking the supplement and still had amazing results, it’s not recommended to rely on a supplement to lose weight. Supplements should be used as an addition to a healthy diet and regular exercise.
