Coffeeberry Extract

Coffeeberry extract is derived from the fruit of the coffee plant (Coffea arabica), also known as the coffee cherry. The extract is typically made by processing the fruit to isolate beneficial compounds, often using solvents like water or ethanol.

Manufacturers add coffeeberry extract for its antioxidant properties and potential health benefits. It is often found in energy drinks, meal replacement supplements, and other functional foods and beverages where consumers seek added nutritional value.

Coffeeberry extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is rich in antioxidants, which may help protect the body from cell damage. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have not specifically evaluated coffeeberry extract as a food additive. Research into its specific health effects is ongoing, but typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health outcomes.
