Should You Add Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract To Your Weight Loss Plan?

By Amy Sutton


Pure green coffee bean extract. It's a term that you've more than likely heard, but what exactly is it? In addition to being one of the newest diet trends to hit the market lately, it may just be one of the most effective diet trends to hit the market ever. So just what is it, and safe and effective is this "miracle supplement" that people seem to be buzzing 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, be aware that with the diet trend market being a highly flourishing and heavy hitting profit-making industry, many scam companies attempt to create and sell incredibly poor quality products that are packed with additives and fillers. Ingesting these can lead to some serious safety issues, so always do your research to find a trusted, reputable dealer and ensure that you are purchasing a quality product.

One huge "pro" of choosing pure green coffee bean extract is that, staying true to its namesake, the supplement remains quite "green," i.e. natural. When purchased properly (containing NO extra fillers or additive, and with 50-100% of chlorogenic acid content - its active ingredient), it is a much less compounded supplement than many others, remaining quite pure to its natural composition. Another huge "pro" regarding research studies is that, hey, it actually works! Research show that in most all cases, taking pure green coffee bean extract (without any changes in dietary or exercise habits) will indeed lead to some degree of weight loss.

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.
