We are aware of scores of different anti-aging formulae. To add to the extensive list comes to our mind is the green coffee bean extract. But what is green coffee bean extract? The usual coffee powder that we find is the coffee powder prepared after roasting green coffee beans. The extract is extracted from green coffee bean at 70° C for 2 hours using 70% ethanol. The green coffee bean extract is a light to dark yellowish brown hygroscopic powder, rich in several polyphenols called hydroxycinnamic acids, of which the two prominent acids are chlorogenic and caffeic acids.
Coffee bean extract is touted for its anti-oxidant, hypotensive, anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity properties. Let’s have a look at the different ways in which this green coffee extract benefits the human body. The chlorogenic acids present in the green coffee bean is an antioxidant, which means it destroys the free radicals formed in the body, as a result of metabolism. These free radicals if left as they are destroy cell membranes and conduce to symptoms of aging.
Coffee beans also play a major role in reducing blood pressure. The one month experiment done on people with mild hypertension showed that consumption of green coffee extract supplements was seen to have their high blood pressure levels lowered.
In their research conducted on green coffee bean extract found that green coffee bean extract promotes weight loss. This weight loss is due to two chemical compounds naturally present in the green coffee beans. These natural chemicals are caffeine and chlorogenic acid, which together result in weight loss.
The coffee beans also help in boosting metabolism in human body. The green coffee bean extract boosts metabolism by altering the way in which glucose is absorbed in the body. The caffeic acids act as stimulants and boost the energy levels. Then again, since this green bean has not been boiled, it lacks cafestol, which is a diterpene, which would have otherwise increased levels of bad cholesterol LDL.
To finally conclude, this green coffee bean extract is safe till today. There have been no reports of any adverse reactions to this extract. However, to be on the safer side, pregnant and breastfeeding women, young children and people with kidney and liver problems should refrain from taking this green coffee bean extract.
