Green coffee beans are actually raw coffee beans. They are known for their strong tonic effect, but also have properties to accelerate the burning of excess body fat and are a great addition to any regimen for weight reduction.

Green coffee is a rich source of specific antioxidant called chlorogenic acid (CGA). This compound stops the absorption of glucose in the small intestine and the release of glucose from the liver into the bloodstream. As a result, the body begins to consume fats instead of carbohydrates for energy, which leads to loss of body fat.

Green coffee has other positive health effects, including lowering blood pressure, stimulation of the brain and increasing mood. As noted, it is an excellent source of antioxidants, which protect cells from the harmful effects of free radicals and support the natural defenses of the body.
