The Green Coffee Bean Project for The Dr. Oz Show
Green coffee refers to the raw seeds (i.e. beans) of Coffea fruits.
Green coffee beans are cleaned, dried, roasted, ground, and brewed to produce coffee.
Researchers claim that green coffee bean extract can help with weight loss, and the supplement has generated a lot of buzz, recently.
The most recent study on green coffee bean was published in January 2012 in Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity magazine.
The researchers followed a group of 16 adults who supplemented with a special green coffee bean extract of Chlorogenic Acids at different dosages (either 700 or 1050 milligrams per day) for 12 weeks.
At the time, all those 16 adults were considered to be overweight, as demonstrated by a BMI of greater than 25.
Those 16 subjects lost an average of about 18 pounds - this was 4.4% of their overall body fat and 10% of their overall body weight.
In order to test the effects of the green coffee bean extract for The Dr. Oz Show, the show's medical unit conducted a project under the guidance of several diet experts and registered dieticians.
The Dr. Oz show's medical unit accepted 100 women between the ages of 35 and 49 who were overweight with BMIs between 25 and 45.
Those 100 subjects were not breastfeeding or pregnant and did not have any major medical problems including history of heart attack or stroke, or diabetes.
Those 100 women received either the green coffee bean extract or a placebo, and were instructed to take 400 mg capsules, three times a day - 30 minutes before each meal.
No participant knew which pill they were given.
Furthermore, the participants were instructed to not change their diet, and to keep a food journal that would assist The Dr. Oz Show learn what these women were eating.
After 2 weeks, the study participants were weighed, and it was found that the group of women who took the green coffee bean extract lost, on average, two pounds.
However, the group of women who took the placebo lost an average of one pound - possibly because they were more aware of their diet for those 2 weeks because of the required food journal.
Consumers should always beware when buying supplements.
Don't get duped by phony, ineffective products. When looking to purchase a supplement, look carefully at the list of ingredients.
When looking for a green coffee bean supplement, it should contain the chlorogenic acid extract, i.e. GCA (green coffee antioxidant).
Furthermore, look for a capsule that contains at least 45% Chlorogenic Acid. More than 45% is okay, but pills with less than this amount have not been tested in studies that prove weight loss effects.
If the bottle doesn't list ingredients, don't buy it! On the ingredient list, you should see no fillers and no artificial ingredients.
Furthermore, don't be fooled by the word "pure" if you see it on a label. If you see the word "pure," and you don't see GCA, consider something else.
And the capsules will range in dosage as well. They can be 200 mg, 400 mg, 800 mg, etc.
For The Dr. Oz Show experiment, the participants were instructed to take 400mg capsules. If you are going to take green coffee bean, the participants in The Dr. Oz Show took 400mg, 3 times a day - 30 minutes before each meal.
