About this ingredient
Ingredients
Green Coffee Bean Extract is derived from unroasted coffee beans, commonly from Coffea arabica or Coffea canephora. It naturally contains chlorogenic acids, including caffeoylquinic acids, as well as varying amounts of caffeine and other coffee-derived compounds. The exact source, extract strength, chlorogenic acid standardization, caffeine content, and additional ingredients depend on the specific product.
Green Coffee Bean Extract is a botanical extract made from unroasted coffee beans. Unlike roasted coffee, green coffee beans retain naturally occurring chlorogenic acids, which are among the primary compounds of interest in green coffee supplements.
Green coffee extracts may contain different levels of chlorogenic acids, caffeine, polyphenols, and other coffee-derived compounds. Some products are standardized to a specified percentage of total chlorogenic acids, while others may also specify caffeine or other constituents on the label.
Green Coffee Bean Extract is commonly included in weight-management, metabolism, antioxidant, and active-lifestyle nutritional formulas. Research has examined its potential role in body-weight management, although evidence varies between formulations and studies.
Because commercial extracts can differ considerably in chlorogenic acid and caffeine content, it is important to check the product label for the exact extract amount, standardization, caffeine level, serving size, and recommended use. A 2026 analysis of commercial products also found substantial variation in labeled and measured chlorogenic acid and caffeine levels.
