Green coffee bean extract comes from unroasted coffee beans. By skipping the roast, the beans hold on to a large amount of chlorogenic acids, the main active compounds in the extract.
People take this extract before meals to support healthy blood sugar regulation. When paired with a sensible diet, it can also assist with modest weight management goals.
Because the extract still contains caffeine, it can make people who are sensitive to stimulants feel jittery. Anyone taking blood pressure medication should watch for interactions tied to the caffeine. The caffeine content also raises the risk of unwanted effects for people who have anxiety disorders, glaucoma, or a high sensitivity to caffeine.
