What it is

Green coffee bean extract is made from unroasted coffee beans. The beans are typically extracted using water or a solvent to concentrate their beneficial compounds, primarily chlorogenic acids and caffeine.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add it to foods and beverages for its antioxidant properties and as a source of caffeine. It is commonly found in energy drinks, dietary supplements, and some juice blends.

Health notes

In the US, green coffee bean extract is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended in certain food categories. Some studies suggest it may have a modest effect on weight management and blood sugar control, but the evidence is mixed and more research is needed. JECFA has evaluated chlorogenic acids and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).

Allergen info

Green coffee bean extract is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
