People all over the world drink coffee to revive their senses and start their day, most unaware of the anti-oxidant power coffee beans possess.  The coffee bean actually contains a number of compounds that are beneficial to our health, but unfortunately much of that potential is destroyed during the roasting process.

"Although brewed coffee contains chlorogenic acid, raw, green coffee beans contain much higher levels," says Dr. Joyal, "and this natural molecule slows the release of glucose, or sugar, into the bloodstream after we eat.  A healthy blood sugar level after meals helps support heart health and a healthy body weight."

Studies show that green coffee bean extract, when taken just before meals, helps support blood sugar levels and can be an effective tool for metabolic management.  Of course diet and exercise are paramount, but chlorogenic acid can further support those efforts, with several studies showing positive effects upon weight management.

In addition to green coffee bean extract, Dr. Joyal identifies additional tools to help support healthy metabolic management such as chromium, green tea extract, and soluble fiber.  There is no single "magic pill" to solve every person's weight management needs, but green coffee bean extract offers a variety of metabolic benefits.  Get more information by visiting http://www.lef.org/suzanneTV.
