Green Coffee Bean Extract 50%

Introduction

"Green coffee" refers to the raw or unroasted seeds (beans) of Coffea fruits. In the typical roasting process of coffee beans, a chemical called chlorogenic acid is reduced. It's this chemical that is thought to be responsible for several health benefits, including weight loss.

Green coffee beans are simply beans that haven’t been roasted.

Plant Anatomy

Green Coffee Bean Extract is made from the green beans of the Coffea Arabica plant. There are two types of coffee plants, arabica and robusta. The arabica is higher in quality and higher in chlorogenic and caffeic acids, two primary compounds responsible for anti-oxidant activity.

The flowers are white, star-like, fragrant, in axillary clusters which appear in the spring. The fruit are red when ripe, in the fall, with a sweet pulp surrounding the bean.
