You have a pouch of green coffee extract in your hand and the front says 22,000mg per serving, which is far more than two capsules could weigh. The panel on the back explains it in three words, from 20:1 extract, and prints the two figures that matter beneath it: 220mg of chlorogenic acid and 33mg of natural caffeine in each serving 1.

This guide reads the label for you: what green coffee bean extract is and which plant it comes from, what 22,000mg from a 20:1 extract means in capsules, how much caffeine a serving carries next to a cup of coffee, how to take two a day and what a pouch of 90 costs, starting with our Organic Green Coffee Extract 22,000mg capsules.

01 / BEFORE ROASTING

What is green coffee bean extract? The unroasted bean of Coffea arabica

Green coffee is the coffee bean before it is roasted. The front of our pouch names the plant, Coffea arabica 1, which Kew records as a shrub or tree of the family Rubiaceae with a native range in South Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya 2, so the extract comes from arabica green coffee beans.

The green coffee bean is what goes into the extract, and the caffeine the bean brings with it is declared on the panel 1. Our green coffee bean extract is organic, and the capsules sit in our herbal supplements range beside the other herbal supplements we sell.

02 / READ THE LABEL

Green coffee extract 22,000mg on the label: what the panel declares

The nutritional information panel reads: serving size 2 capsules, servings per container 45 and one ingredient line, Green Coffee Bean (from 20:1 extract) 22,000mg, providing chlorogenic acid 220mg and providing natural caffeine 33mg, each with two asterisks that mean no NRV established 1. The 22,000mg is a bean equivalent: the weight of green coffee bean that went into one serving, not the weight of the capsules.

What a 20:1 extract means: 1,100mg in two capsules

A 20:1 extract means that twenty parts of green coffee bean were reduced to one part of extract. Divide 22,000mg by 20 and you have 1,100mg of extract in two capsules, 550mg in each 1. The ingredients list puts the percentage beside the extract, 20% chlorogenic acid, and 20% of 1,100mg is the 220mg the panel declares 1.

Chlorogenic acid supplement figures: how to read the two declared lines

The chlorogenic acid coffee beans carry is the compound the extract is standardised for, and the panel prints it as a weight per serving, 220mg, rather than as a percentage 1. The second line, natural caffeine 33mg, is the caffeine the green coffee bean carries into the extract, declared so you can see it. On another chlorogenic acid supplement, look for the same three figures, the extract weight, the chlorogenic acid weight and the caffeine, before you compare prices.

Organic green coffee beans: the logo, the code and the other ingredients

The ingredients are organic green coffee bean 20:1 extract (20% chlorogenic acid), a hypromellose capsule shell and organic brown rice flour, nothing else 1. The front carries the EU organic leaf logo with the certifier’s code SK-BIO-003 and the words non-EU agriculture, so the organic green coffee beans were grown outside the EU under organic rules 1 3, and the capsules are made in the EU 1.

03 / COMPARE THE DETAILS

Green coffee capsules, tablets or powder: what you are buying

Green coffee extract is sold as capsules, which some people call green coffee extract pills, as green coffee tablets and as loose green coffee extract powder, and the label tells you what each one holds.

Green coffee extract capsules: 1,100mg of a 20:1 extract, two a day

If you want the extract in a measured serving, our Organic Green Coffee Extract 22,000mg capsules print the extract weight, the chlorogenic acid and the caffeine on the panel 1. The capsule is swallowed with water, so there is nothing to brew, stir or taste.

Green coffee tablets or green coffee bean powder: read the ratio first

Compare a tablet with a capsule by the ratio and the extract weight on the label, not by the format. On a loose green coffee extract powder or a green coffee bean powder, check whether the label prints a ratio at all: without one there is no bean equivalent to set against ours.

Green coffee extract caffeine, or caffeine on its own

Each serving of the extract carries 33mg of natural caffeine, about a third of the 100mg the NHS estimates in a cup of instant coffee 1 4. If what you want is a measured amount of caffeine rather than the bean extract, our Organic Caffeine 200mg capsules hold 200mg of organic caffeine from green coffee beans in one capsule, taken as required and never more than two in 24 hours, 60 capsules for £8.99 at the time of writing 5.

Organic and vegan: what the pouch front says

The extract is certified organic, the shell is hypromellose rather than gelatine, and the only other ingredient is organic brown rice flour, so the capsules sit in our organic and vegan ranges 1.

04 / KEEP IT SIMPLE

How to take green coffee extract capsules

Take two capsules a day with water, as the label directs; it names no time of day 1.

Store the pouch in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.

05 / A LITTLE MORE CLARITY

Organic Green Coffee Extract FAQs

What is green coffee extract?

It is an extract of the green coffee bean, the coffee bean before roasting, from the plant Coffea arabica 1 2. Ours is a 20:1 extract standardised to 20% chlorogenic acid, 1,100mg of extract in two capsules 1.

What does 22,000mg from a 20:1 extract mean?

It is the bean equivalent: twenty parts of green coffee bean were reduced to one part of extract, so 22,000mg of bean stands for 1,100mg of extract in two capsules, 550mg in each 1. The 22,000mg tells you how much bean went in, not how much powder the capsules hold.

How much caffeine is in green coffee extract capsules?

Green coffee bean extract caffeine is the bean’s own, carried into the extract, and the panel declares it: 33mg in a serving of two capsules 1. For comparison, the NHS estimates about 100mg of caffeine in a cup of instant coffee and 75mg in a cup of tea, so a serving carries about a third of a cup of coffee 4.

Is green coffee extract the same as caffeine?

No. Green coffee extract is the extract of the whole bean, standardised for chlorogenic acid, with the bean’s caffeine declared alongside it, 33mg a serving 1. A caffeine supplement declares caffeine alone: our Organic Caffeine 200mg capsules hold 200mg of caffeine from green coffee beans in one capsule 5.

How much green coffee bean extract should I take a day?

Two capsules a day with water, as the label directs 1. The label names no other amount, and a pouch of 90 covers 45 days of it.

When should I take green coffee extract?

The label names no time of day 1. As each serving carries 33mg of caffeine, you may prefer to take the two capsules with breakfast or lunch, and keeping them beside the same meal each day makes the routine easier to hold.

Who should not take green coffee extract?

The label says the product contains caffeine, 33mg per serving, and is not intended for children or for pregnant or breastfeeding women, and that if you have a medical condition or take any medication you should consult a doctor before use 1. The NHS adds that in pregnancy you should not have more than 200mg of caffeine a day from all sources, which include supplements 4.

How should I store green coffee extract capsules, and do they go bad?

Keep the pouch in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight 1. The pouch prints a date, so use the capsules before it.

How much does green coffee extract cost?

A pouch of 90 capsules is £9.99 at the time of writing, and two capsules are a day’s serving, so the green coffee price works out at about 22p a serving, 45 servings to the pouch 1.

Does green coffee extract have an authorised health claim in the UK?

No. The Great Britain nutrition and health claims register lists its green coffee, chlorogenic acid and caffeine entries as non-authorised, so we make no claim for the extract, about weight or anything else 6.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Green coffee, from bean to capsule.

If you want green coffee bean extract with every figure declared, take the Organic Green Coffee Extract 22,000mg capsules: 550mg of organic 20:1 extract in each capsule, two a day, with 220mg of chlorogenic acid and 33mg of natural caffeine to the serving.
