By Petra Trudell, Managing Editor

On the season four premiere of "The Dr. Oz Show," Dr. Mehmet Oz unveiled the results of his largest supplement trial ever and it was a fat-melting success. His participants lost an average of two pounds after taking a supplement containing pure green coffee bean extract.

I bet that got your attention. Want to know how it worked and how you can try it?

How Green Coffee Bean Extract Causes Weight Loss
Green coffee beans are simply unroasted coffee beans, leaving them bright green in color. This extract gained widespread attention at the start of the new year, when a study published in the medical journal Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity showed participants lost an average of 18 pounds, or 10 percent of their total body weight, after 12 weeks of taking a green coffee bean extract supplement. All 16 of the participants were overweight adults, with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or greater.

The active component of green coffee beans that's been linked to weight loss is chlorogenic acid, which inhibits glucose formation in the liver, while slowing fat absorption and charging up the metabolism to burn stored fat. While small amounts of chlorogenic acid are present in roasted coffee, it's at its strongest when the beans aren't roasted.

The Oz Experiment
Green coffee bean extract was first featured on "The Dr. Oz Show" in March. Ever since guest Lindsey Duncan, ND, CN, was on the show to explain the extract's amazing results, the supplement has been flying off our warehouse shelves, with first-time buyers becoming loyal users of the extract to help them lose weight.

To test the results of the published study, Dr. Oz gave 100 women between the ages of 35 and 49 either a green coffee bean extract supplement or a placebo. All participants had weight to lose, but were otherwise healthy. They took 400 mg, three times a day, 30 minutes before meals and didn't change their diet or lifestyle in any way. The experiment was supervised by the show's Medical Unit, along with Dr. Caroline Povian and Kristin Kirkpatrick, RD.

The group who took the extract lost 81.5 pounds total, two pounds a piece on average, and the placebo group lost 42 pounds, about one pound each. Dr. Oz attributed the placebo group's weight loss to the daily food journal all participants were required to keep. Mind over matter can play a role in weight loss.

How To Try It
What makes green coffee bean extract so popular as a weight loss supplement is that it's all natural and free of stimulants that can have side effects. This supplement also helps individuals lose weight without drastic changes to their daily routine. However, the best results are achieved with a healthy, balanced diet and regular exercise.

If you're interested in trying it our for yourself, capsules and tablets are available containing pure green coffee bean extract. Dr. Oz recommended looking for one without binders and fillers. Capsules are usually made from vegetable cellulose or gelatin (non-vegetarian). Dr. Oz recommended taking the 400 mg dose three times a day, 30 minutes before each meal, for best results. Also, be sure to aim for 45 percent chlorogenic acid.

Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid this supplement, as well as minors and those who are allergic to coffee or caffeine or are sensitive to caffeine (green coffee bean extract contains very small amounts).
