Everyone knows traditional coffee. It's brown, has a distinctive aroma, and is enjoyed daily. Green coffee has also been appearing on the market for some time now. What's behind it? Let's find out!
How are preparations containing green coffee extract made?
What makes green coffee extract special is its manufacturing process. It is produced from unroasted coffee beans – this is the key difference from the coffee we are used to. The beans are not roasted and therefore contain different active ingredients and combinations of vital nutrients than roasted coffee. As almost everyone knows, coffee can influence mental performance. A cup of caffeinated coffee, for example, has a stimulating effect and awakens the mind. The consumer feels fresher and more alert. This effect is even stronger with green coffee extract. Preparations made from it can thus enhance cognitive performance to a certain extent. The active ingredients contained in green coffee extract ensure that the brain's ability to concentrate is increased. The same applies to attention and mental performance.
Effect of Green Coffee Extract
Green coffee extract contains high-quality secondary plant substances that stimulate the entire metabolism and accelerate its function. Taking green coffee extract can be beneficial during a diet. Due to its high active ingredient content, stored fat reserves are ideally burned. Furthermore, green coffee extract is said to be able to block the accumulation of new fat reserves and break down existing fat deposits.
In addition, the antioxidants contained in green coffee extract provide comprehensive protection against free radicals and can thus prevent the death of nerve cells (neurodegeneration). Furthermore, it is possible that taking green coffee extract may also protect and strengthen other cells. However, some warnings should be observed: Green coffee extract is generally not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Green coffee should also never be taken by children. Anyone who is allergic to coffee or has already experienced an overreaction to caffeine should also refrain from taking it. People currently under medical treatment should consult their doctor before taking it.
How should green coffee extract be taken?
Manufacturers of dietary supplements typically offer green coffee extract in capsule or tablet form. The manufacturer's recommended dosage should be followed, as each manufacturer uses different dosages of green coffee extract in their products.
