GREEN COFFEE BEAN EXTRACT/ CHLOROGENIC ACID:

 

1.         Chlorogenic acid has the function of antioxidant and may improve metabolism:

 

One of the key considerations when it comes to weight loss is the rate of metabolism. The process of weight loss is affected by various factors, including presence of excessive toxic compounds in the human body. Studies show that Chlorogenic Acid supplementation helps eliminate destructive toxins in the body which interfere with metabolism, thereby enhancing the process. Chlorogenic Acid promotes overall health by eliminating certain unhealthy compounds in the human body. It also reduces biological absorption of carbohydrates in the cellular levels, thereby preventing excessive weight gain. Studies of chlorogenic acids both as a constituent of coffee and directly as a purified extract, has suggested several beneficial effects, in particular improved glucose and lipid metabolism, as well as anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Chlorogenic acid attacks and kills off fat cells. It also helps prevent new ones from forming. You don’t have to eat any kind of special diet or add any more exercise into your lifestyle that you don’t already do (if you do any at all).

 

2.         It may help prevent cancer:

 

Chlorogenic acid powder can promote digestion and may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer and atherosclerosis. Chlorogenic Acid helps to prevent cancer when it eliminates toxic compounds in the human body. These toxic compounds are observed to cause genetic mutations which are usually the root causes of some forms of cancer.

 

3.         It helps improve liver function:

 

The liver primarily works in the metabolism process by producing bile. Studies show that Chlorogenic Acid is useful in improving liver function and enhancing metabolism as it promotes production and outflow of bile from the liver. It detoxifies the liver.

 

4.         It can lower high blood pressure:

 

Chlorogenic acid and its metabolites exert a potent anti-hypertensive effect. Green coffee extract (with a high chlorogenic acid content) has been shown to reduce blood pressure in humans and this effect is contributed to the metabolite ferulic acid, which increases vasoreactivity and general blood pressure lowering ability. Japanese researchers did a study in 2005 using a placebo for some participants and green coffee bean extract on the others, in a test of the potential effects of the substance on people with mild hypertension. The result was lower blood pressure and no negative side effects. Much of the research into the various potential benefits from coffee has focused on chlorogenic acid.

 

5.         Bone Health:

 

Chlorogenic acid can promote healthy bones and helps prevent muscle spasms, resist musculoskeletal aging. It has the effect of scavenging free radicals and anti-aging.

 

6.         Others:

 

(i)         Chlorogenic acid powder has the effect of scavenging free radicals and anti-aging.

(ii)         Chlorogenic acid can inhibit mutations and tumor.

(iii)        Chlorogenic acid can protect cardiovascular system.

(iv)        Chlorogenic acid has the effects of antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory.
