from unroasted and sustainability-sourced decaffeinated green coffee beans
Coffee is the primary dietary source of chlorogenic acids – phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties and the ability to reduce glucose uptake.¹ Extensive research shows that a 400 mg dose of Svetol™, a green coffee extract rich in chlorogenic acids and supported by patents, is an effective solution to support weight management. Multiple mechanisms of action have been described on Svetol™ and chlorogenic acids from green coffee extract.⁸ ⁹ ¹⁵ ¹⁶
The green coffee beans we use to create Svetol™ are sustainably cultivated in Africa and Vietnam following the principles of our Sourcing4Good programme, which promotes responsible practices across our supply chains, while improving both producer livelihoods and the environmental impact of our products.
In collaboration with our growers, we provide full traceability at all stages of the value chain. It’s all part of our commitment to drive tangible impacts, while helping to create a more sustainable food system.
There is a growing body of research explaining Svetol’s™ mechanisms of action. While the research was done ex vivo, it suggests the following mechanisms of action:
We use a proprietary process to deliver a green coffee extract standardised to the unique fingerprint of the key active compounds in Svetol™ – chlorogenic acids with patented weight-management activity. Research indicates that chlorogenic acids may be responsible for the already well-known beneficial effects of coffee on glucose (blood sugar) modulation.³
Svetol™’s chlorogenic acid profile is unique compared to generic green coffee bean extracts, and is protected by two patents. It’s further supported by synergistic active compounds, including polyphenols and 5-caffeoylquinic acid, to support weight management.¹
Several other relevant mechanisms of action have been identified for chlorogenic acids.
Svetol™’s extensive published research includes:
In a gold-standard randomised, double-blind controlled trial of 50 overweight participants¹, supplementing with 400 mg per day of Svetol™ for 60 days before meals and a low caloric diet resulted in a significant:
“Could be a complement to a healthy lifestyle that incorporates a calorie-reduced diet and regular physical activity for individuals involved in a weight management program.”
“Helps support cardiovascular health.”
Our green coffee beans are cultivated in Uganda, Tanzania, the Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Madagascar and Vietnam, and harvested between October and February. The green beans are not roasted before the extraction process, as roasting sharply reduces the chlorogenic acids content .¹⁷
In collaboration with our growers, we provide full traceability at every stage of our green coffee bean production, with screening to validate the species both in the field and in the finished product. All our growers work to the highest possible standards. These are verified by on-site GACP (Good Agricultural and Collecting Practice) audits, which ensure premium quality, consistent coffee beans and guarantee that our suppliers follow our Sourcing4Good guidelines for responsible sourcing.
Generally considered healthier and more nutritious than the other main cereals, oats offer a full range of benefits in a single ingredient. OatWell™ can be provided in three different concentrations of beta-glucans, all delivering both soluble and insoluble fibres, along with an average of 21% - 23% protein.
OatWell™ uses a unique production process to fractionate the oat kernel into three product lines: beta-glucan products, oat flours, and oat oils. Our production process preserves the native structure of oat beta-glucans, retaining their high molecular weight during fractionation into oat brans with a high amount of beta-glucans.
The molecular weight of oat beta-glucan is essential to delivering health benefits. OatWell™'s beta-glucan has a very high molecular weight (2000-2500 kDa as naturally found in oats), which contributes to its unique viscosity and thickening properties. This viscosity has an important impact on physiological functions, such as reducing blood cholesterol levels, moderating blood glucose and insulin levels, and potentially benefiting satiety.
Benefits of OatWell’s high molecular weight:
The prebiotic effects of oat bran fibre have been validated through years of research. In a review by Malkki and Virtanen, they cite: “in the large bowel, soluble dietary fibre increases the fermentation activity, especially production of butyric acid, enhances growth and colonisation of some probiotic bacterial strains, increases production of microbial mass and thereby aids the removal of nitrogen via faeces. It also increases wet weight of stools, thereby alleviating constipation”.²¹
Research conducted on oat beta-glucan demonstrates that it meets three important criteria, confirming its status as a prebiotic fibre:¹ ²
