Chlorogenic Acid

Chlorogenic Acid is found in pure green coffee bean extract in high doses.  This source of chlorogenic acid has been proven to enhance –

• Metabolism
• Boost body fat reduction and elimination
• Balanced blood sugar levels
• Highly effective antioxidant against oxygen free radicals

Chlorogenic acid is considered as cinnamic acid derivatives.  These offer significant roles within the body’s natural biological processes centered around their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities.

Chlorogenic acid is a polyphenolic compound k

nown to be a natural antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals in the body.  Free radicals can be a major source of cell degeneration, accelerated ageing, and weight gain.

Besides being a powerful antioxidant, recent studies have shown that chlorogenic acid can help to boost metabolism and increase the amount of weight

loss in overweight individuals. Chlorogenic acid suppresses an enzyme in the liver which slows down the release of glucose into the blood stream. Glucose is a substance that is normally converted into usable energy to keep the body functioning. When the body lacks a sufficient amount of glucose in the bloodstream, it begins to convert stored adipose fat into usable energy rather than glucose. The process of converting stored fat to energy naturally increases the body’s metabolism, thereby speeding up the fat burning process and increasing the amount of weight that can be lost.

It is important to note that pure green coffee beans

are not the only source of CGA found in nature.

Foods with chlorogenic acid are found in a number of plants and seeds.

Higher Chlorogenic Acid Food Content can include:

• High content
  • coffee beans
  • sunflower seeds
  • green tea
  • blueberries

Lower Chlorogenic Acid Food Content can include:

• Higher than most other foods even though lower
  • Apples
  • Pears
  • Chinese parsley
  • Tobacco
  • Tomatoes
  • Potatoes
  • eggplant

Finally, note that chlorogenic acid comes from completely natural sources and even though it comes from green coffee beans, it comprised of less than 2% of caffeine.
