How to Make Green Coffee Extract

Green coffee bean extract is chocked full of powerful anti-oxidants similar to those found in grape seed and green tea. Green coffee beans contain polyphenols, which act to reduce free radicals in the body.

All coffee beans include chlorogenic acid, a compound that absorbs free radicals, which can lead to cancer. However, green coffee beans contain a great deal more of this chlorogenic acid compound. Roasting the beans removes some of these properties.
