From Green Coffee Bean

Green coffee bean extract is made from unroasted coffee beans. The beans are typically extracted using water or a solvent to isolate compounds like chlorogenic acids. These compounds are believed to be responsible for many of the extract's effects.

Manufacturers add green coffee bean extract to foods and beverages for its perceived health benefits, often related to weight management and metabolism. It is most commonly found in coffee drinks, energy drinks, and dietary supplements.

Green coffee bean extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in certain food categories. It contains caffeine, which can cause jitters or sleep disturbances in sensitive individuals. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have not established specific upper intake limits for the extract itself, but caffeine intake is monitored. Research on its effectiveness for weight loss has yielded mixed results, and more high-quality studies are needed.
