GREEN COFFEE extract is an extract of unroasted, green coffee beans. GREEN COFFEE extract has been used as a weight-loss supplement and as an ingredient in other weight-loss products. Its efficacy and mechanism of action have been the subject of controversy.
History
In April and September 2012, The Dr. Oz Show featured GREEN COFFEE extract, and conducted its own non-scientific study as to its efficacy.
The guest on that show, Lindsey Duncan, had been fined $9 million by the Federal Trade Commission for making deceptive and unsubstantiated claims related to green coffee products promoted on The Dr. Oz Show.
Svetol was developed by Berkem, a French phytochemical and plant extract company.
The product was first marketed as a dietary supplement in 2002. By 2005 it was the active ingredient in CoffeeSlender, a popular weight-loss product in Norway, and the product launched in the UK the following year. At the 2006 Health Ingredients Europe conference it received the Bronze Award in the best ingredient category.
