Description

Red Coffee Fruit Shell Extract is made from the soft red fruit that includes the hard bean, which is roasted to make ground coffee. This berry is a veritable superfruit that is loaded with beneficial polyphenol antioxidants that helps to neutralize free radicals. The compounds found in the fruit have multiple benefits from boosting immunity, promoting fat loss, lowering blood pressure, reducing gallstones – and not at least – to increase growth of new neuronal cells.

The more interesting finding in recent years is that the polyphenol-rich coffee fruit shell can substantially increase the levels of of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the brain. This compound is essential for the growth of new neuronal cells in the brain, which in turn are essential for our learning ability and memory function. In a study the whole fruit extract was found to increase plasma BDNF 143% in just 2 hours, while green coffee extract and grape seed extract only increased the levels with 31%.

Nutrient Rich

The coffee fruit being high in rare antioxidants, such as rutin, chlorogenic acid, protocatechuic acid (PCA), gallic acids, quinic acid, diterpenes (cafestol, kahweol). It is also rich in nutrients, such as caffeine, vitamin B2 (riboflavin), and magnesium.

Neuroprotective

To help protect various brain functions and slow the signs of cognitive aging. A study of older adults with mild mental decline found that reaction times were significantly reduced. Moreover, a meta study of 15 different studies, found that people with Alzheimer’s tend to have lower BDNF levels. Other studies have found it may support cognitive performance, executive function, information processing rate, sustained attention, protection against neurotoxic agents and neurodegenerative processes. Declining levels of BDNF have also been associated with health conditions, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, and dementia.

Immune Function

Previous test-tube and animal studies have shown that the extract may improve immune function and activate immune cells in animal studies.

Weight Loss

The compounds in coffee fruit powder can promote weight loss. Studies have found it promotes the breakdown of fat cells, while it suppresses the production of new fat cells. The fruit body is rich in chlorogenic acid, which separately has been studied for the ability to boost fat burning and promote weight loss, such as belly fat.

Skin Health

The unique antioxidants in red coffee berry powders can help your skin retain a youthful look. Several manufacturers use coffee berry extracts in their skincare and cosmetic products for this reason. When applied topically it reduces inflammation and improves skin texture. Therapies such as hot baths with the product are used to improve the skin.

Heart Health

A recent study showed that chlorogenic acid can decrease blood pressure and thus have the potential to lessen the risk of heart disease and stroke, but more research is needed.

Anti-Cancer

Several studies have found red coffee berry powder may have anti-cancer properties, especially liver- and endometrial cancer.

Gallstones

It can stimulate the contraction of the gallbladder and reduce the cholesterol in the bile, which easily form into gallstones. Studies have found a 40% reduction in getting gallstones among moderate coffee drinkers.

Suggested use

The suggested dose is between 100 mg and 800 mg a day, which is safe and well tolerated.

Note that coffee fruit shell powder does contain caffeine, even if the exact amount varies, a typical amount would be 5–20 mg of caffeine. This is much less than a 8 oz cup of coffee, which contains 80-100 mg caffeine.

Ingredients

Red coffee fruit shell extract powder. The extract is made from the dried powder shell. The shells come from an organic coffee culture.
