Organic Svetol Green Coffee Bean Extract

Svetol is a decaffeinated green coffee bean extract. It is made from unroasted Robusta coffee beans. The process aims to concentrate certain compounds, particularly chlorogenic acids.

Manufacturers add Svetol to foods and supplements marketed for weight management. It is most often found in energy bars, snack bars, and protein bars. It is typically included for its purported effects on metabolism.

In the U.S., Svetol is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. Studies suggest it may influence fat metabolism, but evidence is mixed and more research is needed. Regulatory bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have not specifically evaluated Svetol, though they have reviewed green coffee bean extract generally. Some studies have raised concerns about liver health with high doses of green coffee bean extract, but these are not typically seen at the levels found in food products.
