What is Green Coffee?

Green Coffee by Vitaminalia is a food supplement made from green coffee dry extract.

2 capsules of this supplement provide 500mg of green coffee dry extract, of which 250mg are chlorogenic acid.

Chlorogenic acid is a phenolic compound that belongs to the hydroxycinnamic acids, which are the result of combining a chemical acid and a cinnamic derivative (caffeic, ferulic, or p-coumaric acid).

Properties of chlorogenic acid

According to this review, it can have positive effects on the biomarkers of different diseases. 'Apart from its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that have been recently reported, it is thought that CGA (chlorogenic acid) is capable of playing a pivotal role in the regulation of the metabolism of glucose and lipids, which can be good for conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), obesity, cancer and hepatic steatosis.' (1)

It has also been reported that green coffee has neuroprotective effects. 'Clinical and preclinical studies have provided evidence that CGA (chlorogenic acid) supplementation could protect against the neurological deterioration and against diseases related to oxidative stress in the brain'. 'There is growing evidence that taking polyphenols, including CGA, could lower the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases.' (2)

Features of Green Coffee

• Dry green coffee extracted from Coffea Arabica: The green coffee extract is obtained from the seeds of the Coffea Arabica plant.
