Svetol is scientifically proved

There are some tests done on the effectiveness of Svetol. Here are 2 of such Svetol tests:

Dr. E.Thom's Trial

In a research in 2005, Dr. E.Thom trialled on Svetol in Norway with 50 people. Svetol was compared with a calorie controlled diet over a period of 60 days.

There were two separate groups, 30 using Svetol and 20 using a placebo.

Those using Svetol lost an average of 5kg (11lbs), more than 2 times the amount of weight compared to those on the same diet but without Svetol, who lost only an average of 2.4kg (5.2lbs).

Phytotherapie Medical Journal

In a study in 2006 by O.Dellalibera, B.Lemaire, S. Lafay, arandomised placebo study on 50 people over a period of 60 days in the Antonio e Margherita Hospital in Tortona, Italy.

These studies were carried out on an age group between 19 and 75. The study resulted in Svetol having a slimming action for a period of 60 days, compared to those that were supplemented with a placebo.

The group that took Svetol lost an average of 4.9kg. The group that took a placebo lost only 2.45kg.

Hence from these two medical trial and research, it goes to show that Svetol, or products that contain svetol ingredient, helps in losing weight faster.

Svetol in Green Coffee

Svetol is an extract of decaffeinated green coffee, it induces weight loss while reducing body fat and increasing lean body mass of your body.

The results of Svetol demonstrate its ability through better use of fats and prevent their accumulation.

It is rich in active constituents.

This gives the Svetol from coffee beans (Robusta), not roasted, its composition is unique and has been patented it gives an efficiency that has been clinically proven. It also guarantees the absence of certain molecules which cafestol and kahweol that the scientific consensus on their proven adverse effects on health, especially among heavy coffee drinkers.

Its special composition has been carefully studied reflecting identification of the increased presence of chlorogenic acids, natural components concentrated in the Svetol. These acids are present in a wide variety of foods we take daily, and their benefits have been demonstrated in several clinical studies.

Safety of Svetol

Svetol is a natural food extract from green coffee beans containing a standardized amount of chlorogenic acid.

Studies have shown that chlorogenic acid (up to 500 mg/kg/day) given to pregnant rats from the 5th through 12th day of gestation caused no maternal or fetal mortality and no adverse effects on the nervous system. Chlorogenic acids have also been shown to be non-mutagenic in tests on bacteria such as the Ames test. The LD50 of chlorogenic acids has been determined to be higher than 2500 mg/kg body weight.

Svetol is also extremely low in caffeine, with less than 2% caffeine contained in the extract, and is not expected to have any of caffeine's stimulant effects. Svetol is extremely safe with no adverse effects having been reported while taking Svetol at the recommended dosage.

Research on Svetol

Green Coffee CherriesSvetol is a unique extract of Coffea canephora robusta green coffee beans containing between 45 and 50% chlorogenic acids with less than 2% total caffeine concentration. As outlined above, many studies highlight the potential benefits of coffee compounds, including chlorogenic acid, for providing protection against free radicals and promoting healthy glucose metabolism. A number of other potential benefits have been discovered for these compounds. Svetol has also been the subject of preliminary clinical studies that have shown exciting results.

In a pilot study, the effect of Svetol on sugar concentrations after meals was evaluated in 15 individuals. In the same trial, the longer-term effects of Svetol on weight management were also evaluated. Blood sugar concentrations were measured on two separate occasions. Patients were administered an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in which they consumed a standard amount of sugar and had their blood sugar levels measured 1 hour after sugar intake. The first measurement was made on day 1 prior to taking Svetol and the second OGTT was performed on day 2, after beginning the Svetol regimen in which one tablet (200 mg per tablet) was administered 3 times during the day. Patients were fasted for at least 8 hours prior to the testing.

How does Svetol work?

Svetol works in a number of ways.

First, in vivo studies have shown that chlorogenic acids reduce absorption of glucose in the intestine by inhibiting the dissipation of sodium electrochemical gradient in the brush border membrane vesicles.

Second, chlorogenic acids have been shown to inhibit an enzyme in the liver that is involved with releasing glucose into the bloodstream. So through these two mechanisms, Svetol works to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. This effect induces the body to burn the fat stored in adiposities as a source of energy, thus leading to weight loss.

Next, further in vitro research has shown that the active components of Svetol help reduce the size of fat cells within adipose tissue. In fact, a placebo-controlled randomized trial over eight weeks showed that Svetol users lost weight and lowered their body mass index while improving their muscle-to-fat ratio.

Svetol Weight Loss

It is said that there could be a link between coffee consumption and a reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

It was previously thought that it was the caffeine in coffee which was responsible for this effect. However, a recent US study of decaffeinated coffee consumption proves otherwise. Further research pointed to polyphenol substances called chlorogenic acids in coffee as being responsible. As a result, researchers develop a coffee bean extract rich in chlorogenic acids as a natural food supplement.

Green Coffee Svetol Weight LossHence from decaffeinated Robusta coffee beans or green coffee, the coffee bean extract called Svetol has been produced to contain chlorogenic acids. Although Svetol helps decrease high blood sugar levels after eating, it has also been found to promote weight loss due to the reduction in body mass index, weight and sweet cravings.

Weight loss: Svetol helps prevent excess glucose from being turned into fat

Svetol works by cutting down of the glucose absorption of your body, hence reducing carbohydrate and calorie intake. This means you will have less chance of turning excess glucose into fat.

Svetol helps to lose weight easily by inhibiting the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme. This means that energy is instead drawn from fat deposits thus weight loss will be faster.

What is Svetol?

In the simplest definition possible, Svetol is a kind of polyphenol, found in green coffee - coffee beans that have not been roasted (pictured below) - with extremely effective anti-oxidant properties.

Polyphenol is category of a chemical substance found in plants. If you wish to find out more about Polyphenol, please visit its Wiki for detailed explanation as it is not possible to explain polyphenol in layman terms.

Svetol combats harmful reactive oxygen which start oxidation reactions and creates free radicals. Oxidation damages your cells – causing aging and sickness. Free radicals may be far more devastating, damaging your DNA – thereby causing life-threatening cancer.
