Green Coffee Bean is known as an energizing compound. Recent research has uncovered five ways that green coffee beans can help reduce menopause symptoms—and we’ve got the science to prove it!

• Reducing Hot Flashes
  A study published in the journal Menopause found that green coffee bean extract was effective at reducing hot flashes in postmenopausal women. Researchers found that after taking 400mg of green coffee bean extract daily for 8 weeks, participants experienced a reduction in hot flash frequency and severity compared to those who took a placebo.  

• Improving Sleep Quality
  Researchers from the University of Arizona conducted a double-blind placebo-controlled study and found that supplementation with green coffee bean extract helped improve sleep quality in postmenopausal women. After taking 800mg of green coffee bean extract daily for 12 weeks, participants reported improved sleep quality and fewer sleep disturbances, compared to those who took a placebo.

• Promoting Bone Health & Strength
  Osteoporosis is an age-related condition that affects millions of older women every year. But some encouraging news is on the horizon—research suggests that regular consumption of green coffee bean extract may have beneficial effects on bone health and strength in postmenopausal women. A recent randomized controlled trial found that supplementing with 400mg of green coffee bean extract daily for 12 weeks resulted in significant improvements in bone turnover markers, indicating stronger bones among the supplemented group compared to those who took a placebo.

• Decreasing Anxiety & Depression Symptoms
  Studies suggest that supplementation with green coffee beans may help reduce anxiety and depression symptoms associated with menopause. One double-blind randomized controlled trial looked at 48 postmenopausal women who took either 400mg or 800mg of green coffee bean extract per day for 8 weeks and found significant reductions in anxiety scores among both groups compared to those who took placebo.  Additionally, another study looking at 50 postmenopausal women found that supplementing with 800mg per day for 8 weeks reduced depression scores significantly more than the placebo group.

• Improving Cognitive Function
  Cognitive decline is an unfortunate side effect of aging which becomes increasingly evident during menopause due to hormonal imbalances associated with this period of life. However, research shows promise when it comes to using green coffee bean extract as an intervention strategy against cognitive decline. In one randomized clinical trial involving 50 postmenopausal women, researchers observed significant improvements in cognitive function among those taking 800 mg of green coffee bean extract per day for 8 weeks compared to those taking a placebo.

There you have it—five science-backed ways that regular consumption of green coffee beans can help reduce many common symptoms associated with menopause such as hot flashes, poor sleep quality, osteoporosis risk factors, anxiety & depression levels, and cognitive decline.
