Green Coffee Bean Extract

Our Green Coffee Bean Extract is formulated to increase weight loss by maintaining glucose homeostasis and boosting fat metabolism. It's an optional product for those struggling to meet their weight loss goals or looking to boost their weight loss results.

Clinical trials of this natural health product demonstrate that it significantly reduces body weight and BMI, while decreasing postload glycemia and increasing lean to fat mass ratio. It's also full of antioxidants, which helps the body process the toxins stored in fat cells, which are released during weight loss, to maintain overall health and wellness.

Research
Research suggests green coffee bean extract (coffea canephora) contains a mixture of chlorogenic acid, polyphenols and 5-caffeylquinic acid. Green coffee beans are coffee beans in their raw, unroasted state which is not achieved in traditionally brewed coffee. Roasting of coffee beans removes a significant portion of the active ingredient chlorogenic acid.1 Hence, Green coffee beans are one of the best natural sources for chlorogenic acid.2 Herbal Magic’s Green Coffee Bean Extract is a jitter free formula that contains less caffeine than a quarter cup of coffee daily (less than 2% caffeine/less than 20 mg daily), and is suitable for those with caffeine sensitivities.

Green Coffee Bean Extract is a 100% all-natural plant concentrate, with standardized bioactives providing 45% chlorogenic acids. Chlorogenic acids have been clinically proven to help induce weight loss.1

The beneficial health effects of chlorogenic acids are well known and have been documented. Various studies have suggested that chlorogenic acids from green coffee beans have been shown to influence postprandial blood sugar concentration, glucose tolerance, serum lipid concentration, and glucose absorption from the intestine. Chlorgenic acid inhibits glucose absorption in the small intestine via inhibition of the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase, limiting the release of glucose into circulation.3,4,5,6

When Green Coffee Bean Extract was studied, the post prandial blood glucose levels of the participants taking GCBE were lower in comparison to control, 133 mg/dL vs. 148 mg/dL respectively (P<0.05).7 In another study comparing GCBE to instant coffee and decaffeinated coffee, results also indicated lower plasma glucose levels with GCBE. consumption. 1 hour post GCBE intake, the mean plasma glucose concentration was 6.23 mmol/l, versus 7.30 mmol/l with decaffeinated coffee intake and 8.25 mmol/l with instant coffee intake. It is thought that Chlorogenic acid might act by inhibiting glucose absorption in the small intestine. Due to the reduced availability of glucose as an energy source, the fat reserves are used for energy instead.1 Therefore, chlorogenic acid can affect adipose metabolism.

Research further shows that GCBE has an effect on glucose and fat metabolism. The clinical benefits of this have been demonstrated in studies: participants lose weight and decrease their fat mass. In a 2012 study, lean mass to fat mass ratio was found to increase in the GCBE group compared to the placebo group: +4.1 +/- 0.7% vs. +1.6 +/- 0.6 respectively (<0.01).1,2 Moreover, clinical trials have revealed a significant difference in body weight in groups taking GCBE when compared with placebo. 1In a clinical trial, participants consuming GCBE saw a reduction in body weight of up to 11 pounds compared to 5 pounds among people consuming the placebo, over a two month period.1

Research has been shown that GCBE can help support heart health and reduce blood pressure.3 When orally administered, chlorogenic acid is metabolized to ferulic acid in the liver and/or kidneys.4 Ferulic acid, which is a metabolite of GCBE containing chlorogenic acid, decreases blood pressure and improves vasoreactivity.5,6 Blood pressure benefits have resulted from amounts as little as 140 mg of chlorogenic acids per day.7

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study demonstrated that GCBE can reduce blood pressure in a dose-related manner. After 28 days, 93 mg, and 185 mg of supplementation: 1) significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (SBP) by -4.7±4.5 mmHg, and -5.6±4.2 mmHg respectively, and 2) significantly decreased diastolic blood pressure (DBP) by -3.2±3.2 mmHg, and -3.9±2.8 mmHg respectively, from the baseline, compared to placebo group.8

These effects were further demonstrated when healthy men and women consumed 400 mg of Green Coffee Bean Extract (equivalent to 2 cups of coffee) in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial. Relative to control, the mean post-treatment systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were significantly lower with chlorogenic acid. These findings further confirm that chlorogenic acid can help lower blood pressure acutely, an effect that, if sustained, would benefit cardiovascular health.9 Moreover, GCBE has antioxidant effects. Fat cells store toxins which are released throughout the body during weight loss, 10,11 resulting in increased circulating concentrations of toxic pollutants. 12,13,14Antioxidants are required to help quench these toxins and reduce damage to surrounding environments.15,16 GCBE provides antioxidants that helps eliminate these toxins, and also help prevent various kinds of diseases associated with oxidative stress, such as cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer.
