Green coffee refers to unroasted coffee beans, which are rich in chlorogenic acids—a class of polyphenols believed to have various health benefits. Several small-scale clinical studies and animal experiments have investigated green coffee extract for its potential effects on lipid metabolism, including serum triglyceride levels. Some research suggests that chlorogenic acids may reduce triglyceride absorption in the gut and positively influence lipid metabolism, leading to modest decreases in triglyceride concentrations. For example, a few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown mild improvements in triglyceride levels in overweight or obese adults who supplemented with green coffee extract compared to placebo. However, these studies often have limitations such as small sample sizes, short duration, and inconsistent dosing protocols. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses to date conclude that while there is a potential for triglyceride reduction, the evidence is weak and not robust enough to recommend green coffee as a primary intervention for hypertriglyceridemia. Larger, well-controlled human trials are needed to confirm both safety and efficacy. In summary, there is some scientific exploration into green coffee for managing high triglycerides, but current evidence is limited and not sufficiently strong to support routine therapeutic use.
