In a recent study done in San Diego, California. They had 16 overweight young adults take the green coffee bean extract in small doses, with a high dose of supplement along with a placebo.

Even though the study was small the results were striking. The subjects lost an average of 17.5 pounds in 22 weeks and found that it reduced their overall body weight by 10.5%. 

More than 35% of subjects lost more than 5% of their body weight, and weight loss appeared to be greater while subjects were taking the pills than when they were on the placebo.

As a dietary supplement, green coffee extract does not require the FDA’s approval. Not to mention it is already available as a naturopathic medicine and antioxidant.

The process on creating this new diet bean is using the unroasted coffee bean, as green as the day it is picked. That is it, simply broken down and extracted like many other herb vitamins, and supplements.

There is a downside to the extract though. It is very bitter tasting, and hard to take without some water to wash it down.

At this time, it runs for the price of four lattes. In dollar terms this is around $20.00 a month. This still beats the average weight loss supplements out there that run a lot higher, as well as health related side effects along with them.

When it comes to health related matters with the green coffee extract. It’s looking nothing but good in many ways for the body.

First of all, weight loss of course.

Second, green coffee beans provide a high natural anti-oxidant. Basically like what you will find in green tea extract.

Take in mind, that some boiled coffee drinks contain cafestol, which has been associated with the negative effects of using caffeine as a stimulant. This is NOT in the green coffee bean extract.

When looking for or purchasing green bean extract. Make sure that is from the Arabica plant or the Robusta. These have the higher quality and higher chlorogenic and caffeic acids. These are the two most important parts responsible for anti-oxidant activity and weight loss effect.

Some other wonders that they have found from the green bean extract are. Benefits in controlling high blood pressure, related to hypertension, improvement in blood vessel actions and circulation, in turn improving the human vasoreactivity.

Take in mind. There are many benefits in even your standard cup of coffee drinking. Unfortunately, like everything else moderation is the key. Many people over exceed the amount of the coffee drinking per day. This in turn can become more harmful than beneficial.

Coffee has, and still is used as an anti-oxidant.

It has been known to increase the effects of certain pain medications, as well as work as a migraine pain substitute.

Recent studies have also found that coffee may be used as an anti-cancer medication.

In such areas as liver cancer, lower rates in colon cancer, and breast cancer.

I will have a returning blog in the very near future related to the cancer end of coffee.
