There's a lot of talk these days about "green coffee bean extract" and its ability to assist with weight loss by helping the body burn fat. Green coffee beans are sourced from the raw or unroasted seeds (beans) of Coffea fruits. Normally, after harvest, coffee beans are cleaned, dried, roasted, ground and brewed to extract the caffeine. However, it's the raw, unroasted beans that have recently been researched for their own unique components, each with potential physiological benefits which are typically lost during the roasting process. For example, coffee's effects on weight loss have been attributed to certain glycemic-controlling agents, such as quinides, lignans, trigonelline, and, most importantly, chlorogenic acid, all of which have been shown to improve the body's ability to metabolise glucose (sugar). The key component, chlorogenic acid, is a special polyphenol shown to inhibit glucose-6-phosphatase, an enzyme responsible for the formation of glucose in the liver. It may also be helpful in weight loss. Numerous studies have suggested that chlorogenic acid hinders the assimilation of fat, and also triggers the metabolism of stored fat. As mentioned, brewed coffee doesn't serve as a good source of chlorogenic acid since a significant amount is lost in the roasting. This is why green coffee beans remain one of the best natural sources for chlorogenic acid. When looking for a green coffee bean supplement, the product should contain an extract with at least 45% chlorogenic acid. Anything less has not been studied to demonstrate weight loss. There should also be no preservatives, no additives, no fillers and no artificial ingredients. That's why Vivisani Labs Green Coffee Bean Extract contains ONLY natural vegetable cellulose capsules (Veggie Caps) with 400 MG of Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract per dose, standardized to 50% minimum chlorogenic acids.
