Green Coffee Bean Extract UK – CGA Slender 8000mg 60 Caps

Contains caffeine — 8mg per capsule, naturally occurring in the green coffee bean. Not recommended for children or pregnant women.
Contains iodine at 200µg (133% NRV) from kelp. If you have a thyroid condition or take thyroid medication, speak to your GP before use.

8000mg of green coffee bean per capsule, standardised to 50% chlorogenic acid — from raw, unroasted beans. Plus 420mg of kelp, cinnamon and cayenne, with iodine at 133% NRV and chromium at 125% NRV carrying the authorised claims.

Two Minerals, Eight Authorised Claims

Green coffee bean itself carries no authorised health claim. What makes this formula defensible is the mineral content, and there is a lot of it.

Iodine — 200µg (133% NRV), from kelp — contributes to normal cognitive function, normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal nervous system function, the maintenance of normal skin, the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function, and the normal growth of children.

Chromium — 50µg (125% NRV) — contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and to normal macronutrient metabolism.

The thyroid claims matter here: thyroid function governs metabolic rate, and iodine is the mineral the thyroid requires to produce its hormones. That is a regulator-assessed statement, not a marketing one.

Why Green Rather Than Roasted Coffee

The difference between the coffee you drink and the green coffee in this supplement is simply that these beans are raw and have not been roasted. Chlorogenic acid is present in far higher amounts before roasting — which is why green coffee extract is used, and why this one is standardised to 50% chlorogenic acid.

How Other UK Green Coffee Products Compare

Standard green coffee capsules — lower dose, no minerals. Most deliver a fraction of 8000mg equivalent and contain no iodine or chromium carrying authorised claims.

Thermogenic fat burners — caffeine-led. High-stimulant products with 200mg or more caffeine per serving, and no halal approval. This has 8mg per capsule.

Chromium tablets — one mineral. Cheap and effective for the blood glucose claim, but nothing else in the formula.

How to Take It

Take 1 capsule, one to three times per day, or as advised. Because the formula contains caffeine, avoid taking the last dose late in the evening.

For glucomannan at the EFSA weight-loss claim dose, BioBurn provides 1000mg per serving. For a caffeine-free option with chromium, An Apple a Day.
