Helpful Information on Green Coffee Bean Extract as a Weight Loss Supplement

script>
By Kasie Yanish


We're all familiar with coffee, of course. Nevertheless, the use of green coffee bean extract for weight loss is a recent discovery. This is a supplement made from unroasted coffee beans, so it's a natural product. That's provided, of course, that the manufacturer doesn't add artificial ingredients, as they sometimes do. The focus of this report is to give you enough information so you can make an intelligent decision regarding your use of green coffee bean extract.

If you're going to be using green coffee bean extract to help you lose weight, you should be aware of the dosage you're taking. Manufacturers of coffee bean extract vary quite a bit when it comes to the amount they use in their products. Most studies that were done on this product involved taking two 500 mg capsules, twice per day. That's a daily dosage of 2,000 mg. It's usually recommended that you start off slowly with any supplement, so you may want to start off with less.

Although green coffee bean extract seems to be a safe weight loss supplement with no severe side effects, you should still use some caution when using it. The main concern some people might have is the caffeine content.

Compared to a cup of coffee, green coffee bean extract has much lower caffeine content. However, some people are sensitive to caffeine that even small amounts can cause a problem for them. If you are limiting caffeine in your diet, you have to watch how much of this supplement you take. There are supplements that do offer the decaffeinated variety so you don't have to completely miss out on the weight loss benefits that green coffee bean extract offers. The catch, however, is that you can't count on the decaffeinated variety to be effective in weight loss because there have been no studies done on it, only on the caffeinated variety.

Do you drink coffee regularly? One of your concerns may be the extra caffeine that will get added to your diet if you start taking a green coffee bean extract supplement. Typically, a capsule has 20 mg of caffeine. A cup of coffee, on the other hand, contains at least 100 mg of caffeine. Depending on the coffee bean and the method of preparation (and the size of the cup of course), a cup of coffee can have as much as 400 mg of caffeine. So don't be worried because the caffeine in green coffee bean extract isn't going to drastically up your intake of caffeine. However, non-coffee drinkers will notice that this supplement is a mild stimulant. If you are thinking of trying green coffee bean extract, the information covered in this article may help you choose the best kind. Although there are lots of other weight loss supplements available now, this is one of the few that has been proven effective in scientific studies. If you do try it, remember that you'll get the best results if you also follow a sensible diet and exercise regularly.
