Summary
A raw, non roasted coffee that consists of chromogenic acids and caffeine to help
control glucose metabolism and fat absorption3. Only 4 small clinical trials have
been done, all showing that GCB promotes slight weight loss. However, all
studies have limitations that put the validity at risk. In addition, GCB has side
effects such as anxiety, arrhythmia, vomiting, acid base, serum glucose, and
serum potassium changes4.
Fat burners are categorized as supplements, and not replacements for a reason
and without good dietary and exercise habits, they will not be effective2. When
considering purchasing different fat burners, one needs to be aware of the
potential side effects as well as the evidence based research associated with
particular ingredients1. Even though some fat burners can be slightly effective,
proper exercise and diet should be the primary source of weight loss for
individuals because the risks for supplements do not out-weigh the rewards and
they will just end up being a waste of money10.
