OptiPure® offers both regular and decaffeinated green coffee ben extracts called CaféVerdeX™. These raw materials are obtained through a water and ethanol extraction process. CaféVerdeX™ has the potential to aid in weight loss, and has been shown in research studies to inhibit fat absorption. This stimulant-free product can be incorporated into any weight management formula. While coffee does provide antioxidant activity, other active compounds are eliminated in the roasting process, specifically a polyphenolic compound called chlorogenic acid. OptiPure® uses unroasted green coffee beans because they have the highest amount of chlorogenic acids—more than 45%. People who drink coffee on a regular basis are up to 80% less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease. Drinking at least two cups of coffee daily can translate to a 25% reduced risk of colon cancer, an 80% drop in liver cirrhosis, and nearly half the risk of gallstones. Coffee has just made headline for possibly cutting the risk of type 2 diabetes by enhancing the liver’s ability to metabolize sugar.
