The Effect of Chlorogenic Acid Enriched Coffee (Coffee Shape) on Weight When Used on Overweight People - June 2009 Study

An independent, double-blind, 4-week market research study was undertaken on 62 healthy volunteers, which compared volunteers using instant coffee enriched with chlorogenic acid (Coffee Shape) with those drinking normal instant coffee. The results concluded that overall, the average weight loss in those participants drinking Coffee Shape was 3lbs, whereas it was only 0.26lbs in those drinking only the normal instant coffee.

Specifically, the study revealed that 75% of the volunteers drinking Coffee Shape lost on average 3.5lbs over 2 weeks, and 80% of the volunteers lost on average 4.5lbs over 4 weeks.

These results confirmed prior medical research on the effect of Chlorogenic Acid Enriched Coffee published in the Journal of International Medical Research, 2007; 35:900 -908, which stated: “We conclude that chlorogenic acid enriched instant coffee appears to have a significant effect on the absorption and utilization of glucose from the diet. This effect, if the coffee is used for an extended time, may result in reduced body mass and body fat when compared with the use of normal instant coffee”.
