BCM CAM Study Study performed on overweight mice Methods

• Mice were fed a standard diet for 14 days Diet intake was not reduced

• Diet consisted of GCBE containing caffeine (10%), and chlorogenic acid (27%)

BCM CAM Study Results

• There was a significant weight loss of mice epididymal and perirenal fats

• No significance showing that caffeine relates to weight loss of body weight and visceral fat, however it does show significance in fat absorption rates

• Chlorogenic acid showed a weak correlation with body weight loss and visceral fat loss, but showed significance in suppressing hepatic TG levels

BCM CAM Study Conclusion

• GCBE shows a significant effect on weight loss in mice

• Caffeine suppresses fat absorption• Chlorogenic acid enhances fat metabolism

in the liver
