A New Way Of Shedding Pounds With Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract

By John Raven


Pure green coffee bean extract is made from the raw beans, or seeds, that are contained within the red berries of the coffee plant. In normal production, these are roasted prior to going on sale, giving the traditional beverage. The extract, however, is prepared from beans that have not been roasted, in order to preserve certain essential compounds. There has been an explosion of interest in this preparation in recent years, due to its usefulness as a slimming aid and to its antioxidant properties.

Traditional coffee is sometimes used to help with weight loss, but the effect seems to be due to caffeine, a stimulant that temporarily raises energy and mental activity levels. Unfortunately, caffeine can produce unpleasant side effects, such as nervousness, irritability and headaches. It can also produce withdrawal symptoms when the intake is reduced or stopped. Green coffee extract contains far less caffeine and its effects seem to be due to an entirely different substance.

Green coffee contains a substance known as chlorogenic acid. The "chloro" part of the name has nothing to do with chlorine, but comes from the green color produced when it reacts with some other chemicals. Chlorogenic acid is decomposed by high temperatures, which means that it is not present in roasted beans. Thus, traditional coffee will not produce the same beneficial effects.

It has long been known that chlorogenic acid is a powerful natural antioxidant - that is, a substance that inhibits oxidation reactions in the body. These reactions produce chemicals known as free radicals, which can damage cells. They are thought to play a role in the aging process and in the development of cancer. Antioxidants are therefore regarded as beneficial compounds that can slow down aging and reduce the risk of cancer.

The feature of green coffee bean extract that has made the biggest splash is its use in achieving weight loss. A clinical trial involving two sets of volunteers, one using the extract and one not, found that the group given the extract lost, on average, 17 pounds, while the other group showed no significant weight loss. The study has been widely publicized and has resulted in great demand for this product.

So how does it work? It seems that chlorogenic acid slows down the rate at which glucose is released from the food we eat. Glucose is a simple sugar that is produced by the breakdown of more complex carbohydrate molecules. It provides the body with energy, but when energy requirements are low it is converted to fat. In other words, carbohydrate intake needs to be balanced by exercise to use up the glucose before it turns to fat. Chlorogenic acid makes this easier by reducing the rate at which glucose is produced.

This may not be the only benefit associated with chlorogenic acid. It seems to help maintain healthy levels of blood sugar. It also appears to increase the metabolic rate of the liver, allowing it to break down fats more quickly.

Pure green coffee bean extract is made by soaking raw beans rather than roasting them. This ensures that the active ingredients are not destroyed. The extract can be purchased online in capsule form.
