Chlorogenic Acid
Chlorogenic acid is a polyphenol found in coffee beans. Roasting reduces it, so concentrated extracts are made from unroasted green coffee beans.
Also listed as Coffee bean extract, Green coffee extract
Three label details worth separating
The amount of green-coffee extract, its chlorogenic-acid content and its caffeine content describe different things. NIH notes that decaffeinated extracts exist; “green coffee” alone does not establish that a product is caffeine-free. 1
