What is Green Cofee Bean Extract?
Green cofee bean extract, abbre#iated G&'(, is an extract obtained from unroasted
green cofee beans. Green cofee typically describes cofee produced from ripe
cofee beans that ha#e not been roasted, and not from beans that are green in color
or unripe. The most widespread cofee plants are the )rabica and *obusta. The
beans used for the extract may be referred to as green, natural, raw or unroasted
beans. *egular cofee is produced by $rst roasting the ripe beans before they are
ground and brewed for drin+ing. The roasting of the beans helps ma+e the cofee
more palatable, with a smo+y taste achie#ed. The ,a#our is normally the primary
attraction for cofee made from roasted beans.
&ofee beans contain chlorogenic acid. &hlorogenic acid is an antioxidant which
helps to speed up weight loss by impacting how the body metaboli"es fat. This acid
also decreases the rate at which glucose is released into the blood stream. -t is
these qualities of cofee beans that ma+e them helpful to a weight loss regimen.
&hlorogenic acid is found in its highest concentration in the unroasted cofee beans.
The temperature used in the roasting process has a negati#e efect on the
chlorogenic acid content as much of it is destroyed by the heat. -n addition to its
higher chlorogenic acid content, green cofee bean extract also has less cafeine
than regular cofee and thus has a lower stimulating efect. The extract produced
from the beans is pac+aged into capsules and ha#e a chlorogenic acid content
ranging, ideally, from ./ percent or e#en more.
