Is Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract The Right Supplement For You?

By Amy Sutton


Pure green coffee bean extract. More than likely, you've heard of this before, but what is it? Undoubtedly it is one of the newest diet fads to hit the market as of late, but did you know that it also happens to be one of the most effective diet trends to hit the market at all? So what is it exactly, and just how safe and effective is this new supplement that everyone seems to be talking about?

To begin with, one important piece of information is that like all other dietary supplements, no FDA approval is needed before they hit the market. Not necessarily rendering them unsafe, this does mean that their safety and effectiveness is neither reviewed nor approved by the FDA prior to becoming available to the public, unlike pharmaceutical drugs. However once these dietary supplements do hit the market, the FDA does evaluate their safety with general research and "adverse-event" monitoring. Thusly, it is important to remember that pregnant and breast-feeding women should absolutely steer clear of this and any other dietary supplement until more thorough research has been conducted and safety has been proved.

Additionally, the industry of diet trends can be a highly flourishing profit-making industry and this leads many scam artists to generate a product that is very low quality, packed with fillers and additives. It is highly important to be aware of the source you are buying from, and always be sure to choose an established supplier that sells a quality product.

So what about the "pros"? Well for starters, this product actually works! Research has proven that in most all cases (though individual results will always vary), taking pure green coffee bean extract will indeed lead to some degree of weight loss over just a few short weeks, even without any changes in dietary or exercise habits. Another huge "pro" of this supplement is that, quite true to its namesake, the product is both quite "pure" and quite "green." Again, assuming you are purchasing from a reputable, established supplier, and taking the purest pills possible (with NO extra additive or fillers and containing at least 50-100% of chlorogenic acid), the product has been found to be quite safe.

However with a supplement that effective, there must be some safety issues and side effects, right? Well yes, but the most common ones reported are mainly related to the caffeine content, therefore mimicking drinking too much coffee. These include insomnia, increased heart and breathing rate, nausea and vomiting, upset stomach and diarrhea, and general nervousness and restlessness. Some other, more serious side effects that may be linked to taking this supplement may include a thinning of the blood (so a worsening of bleeding disorders), glaucoma and high blood pressure (since ingesting caffeine can increase the pressure in the vein systems), diabetes (since the active ingredient, chlorogenic acid, affects the way your body processes sugar), and osteoporosis (since caffeine intake may increase the amount of calcium that is flushed out in the urine). As with a choice to begin any dietary supplement, make sure that you do plenty of research and start off slowly, so as to not overload your system with something new and foreign and potentially dangerous.
