Chlorogenic acid is a polyphenol found in many plants, including in particular the green fruit of the coffee plant, artichoke, nettle and prunes.

This acid is antibacterial, antioxidant, and also a positive effect on glucose metabolism. Reduces the absorption of sugar from the gastrointestinal tract and improves insulin sensitivity. These properties of chlorogenic acid indicates that the compound is used in weight loss, which is also confirmed by a number of clinical trials carried out, showing its efficacy in reducing body mass. It should, however, be emphasized, that accurate analyses also showed that after the withdrawal of chlorogenic acid, they body mass may increase again.
Dosage: The recommended daily dose of chlorogenic acid is 800 mg.
