New research has demonstrated that unroasted coffee beans, or “green coffee bean extract” may help with weight loss possibly because of its effect on glucose and fat metabolism. In a small clinical trial, 16 overweight individuals taking different doses of green coffee bean extract lost an average of 17.5 pounds and 16% in body fat, in 22 weeks.
Green coffee beans are coffee beans, which have not been roasted. And green coffee bean extract is an extract from the unroasted green coffee bean.
In March of 2012, Dr. Joe Vinson performed a clinical study with this substance and found a significant connection between consumption of green coffee and fat loss. Vinson speculates that this may be due to chlorogenic acid, which Vinson believes reduces the absorption of glucose and lowers the hyperglycemic peak. Vinson is a chemist at the University of Scranton in Scranton, PA. He says his successful trial results should pave the way for more research on this substance. So, a larger trial is being planned. Dr. Vinson adds that green coffee bean extract may also reduce insulin levels, which would improve metabolism function. He also said there were no indications of negative side effects reported by any of the clinical study participants.
If green coffee is ground and roasted like regular coffee, it has very little taste. In fact, coffee brewed with green coffee beans would be extremely bitter. So, folks who wish to try this substance for weight loss would probably prefer taking a green coffee bean extract supplement rather than drinking something with no taste or a bitter unpleasant taste. The coffee that most of us love to drink, by the way, derives its’ flavor from the roasting process.

Answers to Some Commonly Asked Questions
What sparked the initial popular interest in green coffee bean extract?
Studies have been going on for a number of years, but the publicity surrounding the recent study headed by Dr. Joe Vinson from the University of Scranton got the ball rolling.
What caused interest in green coffee bean extract to skyrocket?
Green Coffee Bean Extract was highlighted on the popular Dr. Oz TV show as an effective weight loss supplement and then interest in green coffee beans soared.
What is chlorogenic acid?
Chlorogenic acid is the substance in the green coffee bean extract that is believed to be responsible for weight loss.
How does green coffee bean extract and chlorogenic acid burn fat?
Chlorogenic acid is believed to inhibit the release of glucose into the blood stream. When glucose enters the bloodstream after eating, the liver produces insulin in response to the production of glucose. The insulin, in turn, causes the body to store the energy from the glucose as fat. But the chlorogenic acid is believed to slow down the glucose entering the bloodstream, thus reducing the absorption of fat, resulting in weight loss. It is believed the chlorogenic acid may also cause the liver to metabolize the fat faster.
Are there other possible health benefits from green coffee extracts?
Possibly, yes.
What is meant by “pure” green coffee bean extract?
Pure means no additives whatsoever. None! In other words the product should have no fillers and nothing at all added. But consumers need to read labels to verify that the product contains no fillers or other unnecessary ingredients or preservatives. Many products labeled pure are not really pure. So, be sure and read the labels and if there is something on the label you do not understand, call or email the company. And if there is no products ingredients label on the company website, avoid the product.
What is important to look for in a green coffee supplement?
It is important that the supplement contains chlorogenic acid and that the chlorogenic acid content is at least 42% to 50%, according to nutritional supplement companies and at least one prominent celebrity TV doctor. The supplement company should have had ingredient samples tested by a certified testing lab to verify the chlorogenic acid level so consumers can be assured they are buying a product containing ingredients which are consistent with the ingredients used in the recent green coffee bean extract weight loss study.
What Is GCA and GCA®?
This is an abbreviation for Green Coffee Antioxidant. It’s also a brand of green coffee extract containing 42% chlorogenic acid.
What is Svetol®?
This is a brand of green coffee bean extract containing 45% chlorogenic acid.
Is it important that green coffee supplements contain GCA or Svetol?
No. GCA and Svetol are brand names. They are promoted as good brand names but brand names are not important. Claims that green coffee bean extract supplements must contain the brand names GCA or Svetol in order to be effective are not correct. The chlorogenic acid level and the purity of the product are important, not the brand names. By steering clear of the hype surrounding brand names, consumers can save money with a quality product such as Perfect Green Coffee.
What Is GCBA?
This is an abbreviation for Green Coffee Bean Antioxidant.
What is GCBE?
This is an abbreviation for Green Coffee Bean Extract.
How to select a supplement for the best opportunity to replicate the weight loss results in the clinical study?
First, the supplement should be 100% pure. Pure means (1) zero fillers, (2) zero binders, and (3) zero artificial ingredients.
What about dosage?
Although the Vinson study had a low dose group of participants and a higher dose group, most nutritional supplement companies are currently suggesting from 1200 mg to 1600 mg per day. Dr. Oz originally recommended 800 mg 2 times per day (or 1600 mg per day) and in a later TV show, in September 2012, recommended 1 tablet of 400 mg taken 3 times per day 30 minutes prior to each meal (or 1200 mg per day.) This is consistent with what most nutritional supplement companies are currently recommending, as of March of 2013.
What about the recommended level of chlorogenic acid?
The conventional wisdom among nutritional supplement companies is that an effective product should contain at least 42% chlorogenic acid. On his TV show Dr. Oz recommended to look for at least 45% chlorogenic acid. The ‘Perfect’ brand offered on the site has 50% chlorogenic acid and that level is lab-verified. The chlorogenic acid level should be stated on the product label. Also, some evidence should be displayed on any website offering these products showing that the stated level has been verified by a reputable independent testing lab.
What else to look for on a product ingredients label?
The product label should state the chlorogenic acid level (see above) since chlorogenic acid is the antioxidant present in raw coffee beans believed to be responsible for weight loss. And, as mentioned earlier, there should be (1) no fillers, (2) no binders, and (3) no artificial ingredients. So, read the ingredients labels carefully. Ingredients labels should be displayed on all websites offering nutritional supplements.
What else to look for when evaluating a product?
Make sure you know that the product was manufactured in a country with proper quality controls.
Does it matter if the product is made from Arabica or Robusta coffee beans?
No, absolutely not. We have much more information about this elsewhere on this website.

I was a little wary about all the hype, but ended up trying the green coffee bean pills…I LOVE them! I’ve lost 13 pounds in 6 weeks and feel great! I’m not jittery and have a sense of overall well-being. I’m glad I tried it and will definately by it again.
Hi Shelby, first I want to start off by saying congrats on the weight loss!! I have been looking all over the internet for the best green coffee because all the website’s say the same thing. I had a few questions. How did you find the product and are you stil taking them? How many pills do you have to take a day? Are you on a special diet? Sorry for all the questions, I just dont want to buy the wrong product. Thanks!!!
Very good for you..Keep up the good work!!
Hi Kerri,
When selecting a supplement always be sure to read the ingredients label. In the case of Green Coffee Bean Extract, Dr. Lindsey Duncan on the Dr. Oz TV show said to look for a green coffee supplement that is “pure” and he also said it is the chlorogenic acid in green coffee which is responsible for the weight loss. We agree. Take a look Perfect Green Coffee here http://healthfoodpost.com/green-coffee-extract/buy-green-coffee-extract/. It’s 50% chlorogenic acid and it is pure. Many green coffee supplements contain only 42% or 45% and sometimes much less. The Perfect Green Coffee is a good price too, especially when buying 3 or more bottles. Plus, it comes with a 100% money-back guarantee. It’s the best bet, by far!
I just heard about Green Coffee Bean extracts about two months ago. I did not realize they existed until a friend told me about and she heard about it on Dr. Oz. I read that Dr. Oz does not endorse any brand but he did recommend what to look for when buying. I decided to give it a try and ended up losing weight. I was very surprised since I really did not work out. The coffee beans made we want to start working out because I had so much energy. I say if you are on the fence try them from a place that will allow returns and free shipping if you order online. Good Luck!
GCBE is supposed to help with weight loss but watch out for side effects. People report itching, dizziness, headache, bloating and diarrhea as common side effects. The itching seems to be the result of increased liver enzymes from increased liver function, which helps move fat out of the body. It is recommended you start with a low mg dose (400 mg) to see what effect it has on you and build off that.
Hi,
Do you supply the same product to india.
Yes, Perfect Green Coffee can be shipped to India.
Thanks for visiting HealthFoodPost.com!
And if so is it viable to take the same while doing cardio and heavy weight training
Yes.
hi
Do you supply the same product to Nigeria.Pls respond.
Perfect Supplements makes only one (1) green coffee product. There are NOT different green coffee products for different countries.
Hi,
Since its been 11 long days that i have not yet received the package; Is it not possible that the same can be delivered in future with the help of bodies like “DHL”, “FED-EX” or “UPS” cos postal services in INDIA is hell of a headache.
Please i request the admin to see to this matter ………..
Thanks
Customers have the option during checkout to select delivery via USPS Express or UPS expedited. But these are more costly. Most customers choice USPS first class because it is not expensive, but deliveries to India are taking about 20 business days. Of course, this is out of our control. It’s the postal services from USA to India that cause the delay. Sorry for the inconveniece. Next time consider the other shipping options. We appreciate your business!
How does green coffee bean extract tastes like?? Need a lil more information abt its taste???
Thanks!
Perfect Green Coffee supplements are capsules, not a drink, so there is no taste. Any drink made from raw green coffee beans would taste bitter and bad, unless camouflaged by other ingredients. Also, in pill form you are getting much more chlorogenic acid than you could from a beverage.
can you take 1 capsule of 800mg in the morning and 1
capsule of 800mg 30 minutes before dinner
Yes. The Perfect Supplements dosage instructions on the bottle recommends up to 4 capsules daily, each capsule being 400 mg. So, the bottle indicates up to 1600 mg daily is fine.
Hi,
At last I have my 4 packs of “GREEN COFFEE BEAN EXTRACTS” .
In short it takes 28 to 30 days to ship the same from US to my place may differ with other destinations in INDIA.
Once again thanks to the admin, U.S. post and Indian postal service.
Thanks for ordering Perfect Green Coffee. Glad it arrived. Enjoy the product. Let us know how you like it.
hey sandeep i am also from india and i also wanted to try this green coffee but m really not sure that i should buy this or not..but reply and tell me that have lost any weight or not… i am waiting..
I purchased a bottle of Green Coffee Bean Extract at my local Whole Foods Store and although it contains 50% chlorogenic acids and each capsule is 400mg Green Coffee Extract, other ingredients are: Silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate (vegetable source) and cellulose. Capsule consists of hydroxypropymethylcellulose. No wheat, no gluten, no soybeans, no dairy, no egg, no fish/shellfish, no peanuts/tree nuts. Do these “other ingredients” make the pills less successful for weight loss?
Hi Beccalee,
Don’t know but for general health considerations we avoid supplements with unnecessary ingredients or fillers. I’d be curious what you paid for the green coffee product at Whole Foods and how many capsules are in the bottle. I would bet that Perfect Green Coffee is less expensive, and a much better value.
Hi admin,
Do you have to continually use the pills a period? or a bottle would suffice?
I think someone can lose weight & gain it back in no time ,if he/she stops using the pills.
Can anyone tell me can i take two coffee bean pills in the morning and two be 4 dinner
The Perfect Green Coffee label indicates a dosage 1 capsule 3 times per day (they’re 400 mg each) but allows for up to 4 capsules for a total of 1200 mg to 1600 mg (maximum) per day.

Your other questions should be adequately answered on the pages on this website. Thanks for visiting from Nigeria!
I read somewhere that this works better with an additional supplement such as a colon cleanse. Is this true? Is there something that the green coffee extract should/can be taken with, or just use this product alone? I trying to gather as many facts as possible before deciding to purchase.
Hi Ashley,
Take Perfect Green Coffee by itself. There is NO science to suggest it should be taken with a colon cleanse.
Hey i was wondering how big are the pills? PLZ REPLY IF U KNOW!!!!!!!
Hi Amie,
The Perfect Green Coffee capsules are moderate in size, and certainly not large by most standards. Most people should have no issue swallowing them comfortably.

The evidence thus far is from pilot research studies, most prominently from Dr. Joe Vinson whose work has received much attention. The Vinson research to date is impressive but the research is in its early stages and more research needs to take place. Even though the early research is promising, everybody person is different so information regarding dosage and other aspects of green coffee extract supplementation is evolving and subject to change as more information is learned.
