The answer to this goes back to the coffee plant. The coffee beans are naturally green in colour and contain a chemical called chlorogenic acid. When the beans are roasted to give them the brown colour we are all familiar with, most of the chlorogenic acid is destroyed.
This chlorogenic acid is high in antioxidents and it is this chemical in Green coffee bean extract that helps with weight loss. So if it is that good for us as Green coffee, why is it roasted in the first place? The answer to this is the taste: Green coffee is very bitter when made into a drink, and roasting the beans gives us the pleasant tasting drink we are all used to today.
So, does Green coffee contain as much caffeine as a regular cup of coffee? No, it has only about a fifth as much so you will not get a "caffeine high". Also, because it is completely natural, there are no known side effects.
Green coffee bean extract is usually found in capsule form, and needs to contain at lest 45% chlorogenic acid. If it has less the results may not be as good.
Green coffee bean extract was tested on a group of ladies by Dr Oz on his popular TV show and the results showed that this product helped a very high percentage of people to lose weight.
Only buy Green coffee bean extract if it is pure and has no fillers or binders. Some manufacturers will use fillers or binders as it is cheaper to produce. The pure version will give you the best chance of achieving your goal of losing weight.
If the products contains ANY of the following do not buy:
