Pure green coffee bean extract. It's a term that you've more than likely heard, but what exactly is it? In addition to being one of the newest diet trends to hit the market lately, it may just be one of the most effective diet trends to hit the market ever. So just what is it, and safe and effective is this "miracle supplement" that people seem to be buzzing about?

To begin with, an important measure to note is that like all other dietary supplements, these products are not FDA approved before they hit the market. Unlike new pharmaceutical drugs, dietary supplements safety nor effectiveness are neither reviewed nor approved by the FDA prior to being made accessible to the public, although this doesn't necessarily render them unsafe. Once they do hit the market, however, the FDA does indeed use research and adverse event monitoring to evaluate their perceived safety. This being understood, one important precaution is that pregnant and breast-feeding women should avoid these sorts of supplements until more research has been conducted and the product is proven safe.

Additionally, be aware that with the diet trend market being a highly flourishing and heavy hitting profit-making industry, many scam companies attempt to create and sell incredibly poor quality products that are packed with additives and fillers. Ingesting these can lead to some serious safety issues, so always do your research to find a trusted, reputable dealer and ensure that you are purchasing a quality product.

One huge "pro" of choosing pure green coffee bean extract is that, staying true to its namesake, the supplement remains quite "green," i.e. natural. When purchased properly (containing NO extra fillers or additive, and with 50-100% of chlorogenic acid content - its active ingredient), it is a much less compounded supplement than many others, remaining quite pure to its natural composition. Another huge "pro" regarding research studies is that, hey, it actually works! Research show that in most all cases, taking pure green coffee bean extract (without any changes in dietary or exercise habits) will indeed lead to some degree of weight loss.

How about the "cons," as with such a "miracle" supplement, there must be some safety issues and side effects, yes? A majority of the side effects reported have more to do with the caffeine content (NOT the reason these pills work) than anything else, and resemble the side effects of drinking way too much coffee. These include headaches, nausea and vomiting, upset stomach and diarrhea, increased heart and breathing rate, and general nervousness and restlessness. Other, more serious side effects that may occur (also linked to caffeine) are an increased possibility of or worsening in IBS, osteoporosis, glaucoma and high blood pressure, bleeding disorders, and diabetes. As with any new addition to your diet or supplement cabinet, be sure to do plenty of research and make sure that you start off slowly, allowing your body to adjust to the changes. If any negative side effects occur, discontinue use immediately and consult your doctor.
