Do Chlorogenic Acid Capsules Provide Healthy Weight Loss?

Interest in this weight loss pill has increased significantly since the results of a green coffee bean extract project conducted by Dr. Oz were revealed on the September 10, 2012 season premiere.

Can this proven weight loss product really decrease body weight without restricting foods and
increasing exercise?

What is Green Coffee Bean Extract?

This extract emanates from the beans of two different coffee plants, which are: Arabica and Robusta.
These coffee beans naturally contain chlorogenic acid, which helps the liver to process fat and is a
derivative of cinnamic acid. Cinnamic acid has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. The
chlorogenic acid is the fat burning secret in this clinically proven weight reduction product.

How it Works

Although there is a very small amount of caffeine in this extract, the caffeine is not what makes this
proven green coffee product effective. The chlorogenic acid inhibits the release of glucose into your
body and boosts the burning of fat in your liver. The combination of these two functions hinder the
absorption of fat.

Why not just brew up a cup of joe? It's the “brewing up” part that ruins the fat burning properties of
the coffee beans. When they are roasted, the chlorogenic acid is depleted taking along with it the bean
extract benefits.

Fat Loss Fact - Does it Work?

Although Dr. Oz did conduct a two-week experiment, he does not endorse this or any product. The
experiment was made up of 100 women between the ages of 35 and 49. The women were split into two
groups with one group taking the supplements and the other group taking a placebo.

Participants did not have to adjust their food intake nor increase activity. They only had to log
what they did eat. Subjects lost a total of 123.5 pounds. 82 pounds were lost in the green coffee bean
extract group, while 41.5 pounds were lost in the placebo group.

While the Dr. Oz show is popular and the television experiment showed good results regarding this
natural weight loss extract, there have been other studies indicating these chlorogenic acid supplements
are helping people shed fat by burning fat.

In the Diabetes, Metabolic, Syndrome and Obesity Journal posted on January 18, 2012, you will find
detailed information regarding a 22-week randomized, double-blinded and placebo controlled study
conducted at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania.

16 youngsters (men and women) ages 22 to 26 lost approximately 17 pounds each, which was an
average of 10 percent of their overall body weight. The study showed they also burned 16 percent of
their overall body fat. Participants did not restrict their diets nor increase activity during this study
eating an average of 2,400 calories each day.

Buying a Quality Product

There are many companies that claim to be the leading supplier for this natural supplement. It is
important to pay attention to the ingredients. Dr. Lindsey Duncan, naturopathic doctor and special
guest on the Dr. Oz show, says to ensure the product you choose contains zero fillers, binders, and
artificial ingredients. The capsules should contain no less than 45% chlorogenic acid. SVETOL or GCA
are both quality products to consider.

Has anyone here tried an all natural weight loss product such as Green-Fu?

Ive used green coffee it works temporarily as it helps move the bowels. A better long term strategy would be increasing non starchy fibre. I prefer green tea of green coffee as it booats metabolism.
