The Claim
Twelve weeks of daily supplementation with 12 mg of purified cafestol reduces visceral fat volume by approximately 400 mL and body weight by 0.88 kg in healthy adults with increased waist circumference, without altering insulin sensitivity or glucose tolerance.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Daily intake of 12 mg of purified cafestol for 12 weeks reduces visceral fat by about 400 mL and body weight by 0.88 kg in healthy adults with increased waist circumference, without changing insulin sensitivity or glucose tolerance.
See the scientific wording
Twelve weeks of daily supplementation with 12 mg of purified cafestol reduces visceral fat volume by approximately 400 mL and body weight by 0.88 kg in healthy adults with increased waist circumference, without altering insulin sensitivity or glucose tolerance, suggesting cafestol may influence fat distribution independently of glucose metabolism.
Cafestol enters the bloodstream after being absorbed in the gut, travels to fat tissue around the organs, and turns down genes that make fat cells store more fat. This causes the fat cells to hold less fat, shrinking the belly fat layer and lowering overall body weight without changing how the body processes sugar.
What the research says
1 studyTaking 12 mg of cafestol daily for 12 weeks helped people lose some belly fat and a little weight without changing how their body handles sugar — just like the claim says.
