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?

For starters, it is important to note that as with all other dietary supplements, there is no FDA approval needed to hit the market. This doesn't make them unsafe, necessarily, however it does mean that unlike new pharmaceutical drugs, dietary supplements are not reviewed and approved by FDA based on their safety and effectiveness. After dietary supplements are on the market, FDA evaluates their safety through research and adverse event monitoring. That said, it is important that pregnant and breast-feeding women avoid these types of supplements until further research is conducted.

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.

When it comes to the "pros" of taking pure green coffee bean extract, one stands out, and that is that the product is indeed both quite "pure" and "green." When purchased properly and safely (i.e. with NO extra additives or fillers and with at least 50-100% chlorogenic acid content) the pills themselves are quite natural in form. Another great "pro" is that after tons of clinical trial runs and research, these little green miracle pills have been proven to actually work! In most research case studies, it has been shown that even without any changes in dietary or exercise habits, taking pure green coffee bean extract as a dietary supplement will indeed lead to some sort of weight loss over just a few weeks time.

How about the "cons," as with such a "miracle" supplement, there must be some safety issues and side effects, yes? A majority of the side effects reported have more to do with the caffeine content (NOT the reason these pills work) than anything else, and resemble the side effects of drinking way too much coffee. These include headaches, nausea and vomiting, upset stomach and diarrhea, increased heart and breathing rate, and general nervousness and restlessness. Other, more serious side effects that may occur (also linked to caffeine) are an increased possibility of or worsening in IBS, osteoporosis, glaucoma and high blood pressure, bleeding disorders, and diabetes. As with any new addition to your diet or supplement cabinet, be sure to do plenty of research and make sure that you start off slowly, allowing your body to adjust to the changes. If any negative side effects occur, discontinue use immediately and consult your doctor.
