I've just received an e-mail advertising green coffee for weight loss with chlorogenic acid being the key component . Is there any foundation in this claim or is it just the latest fad?
Hi there,
Thanks for your question.
Although there is some interest in Chlorogenic Acid and Green Coffee, and their links to weight loss and heart health, there is currently insufficient evidence to support recommending this for weight loss.
The levels of Chlorogenic Acid required to see any effect on weight loss may be much greater than the amount available in Green Coffee, and we don't yet know the long term effects of using the concentrated supplement on health.
My advice would be that as this is not a proven way to lose weight, I would stick to a healthy, balanced diet and using the food diary system which we know works for weight loss and to keep it off.
I hope this helps, if you need anything further please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards
Janet
