Svetol is a proprietary standardized chlorogenic acid extract of decaffeinated green coffee beans, sold by Naturex. It is used as a weight-loss supplement and as an ingredient in other weight-loss products. Svetol has been on the market as a dietary supplement since 2002,[1]
Svetol is a hydroalcoholic decaffeinated green coffee extract produced from coffee beans of the variety Coffea canephora robusta Pierre. The extract is spray dried and encapsulated.[2] Svetol contains a specific chlorogenic acids profile balanced between 3-, 4-, and 5-caffeoylquinic acid, and contains 45%–50% chlorogenic acids by weight.[3][4]
History
Svetol was developed by Berkem, a French phytochemical and plant extract company. The product was first marketed as a dietary supplement in 2002.[1] By 2005 it was the active ingredient in CoffeeSlender, a popular weight-loss product in Norway, and the product launched in the UK the following year.[5]
In January 2008, Naturex, an international natural ingredient manufacturer, acquired Berkem's clinically tested plant extract division, of which a prime product was Svetol.[6][7][8] The acquisition by the larger company boosted the marketing force behind the product,[7] and Naturex brought Svetol to the U.S. market.[9]
As of 2013, Svetol has increasingly been cited as one of the two brands of green coffee extract that is standardized to contain at least 45% chlorogenic acid,[10][11] and as the brand of choice for green coffee extract supplementation.[12] As of 2013, Svetol is the number one slimming ingredient in the U.S., and is used in 100 co-branded products in North America.[13]
Efficacy
A 2011 systematic review concluded that intake of green coffee extract showed a moderate, but significant weight loss compared with a placebo. the review criticised the available data as "of poor methodological quality".[14]
