Taiyo’s new raw coffee bean ingredient offers a wide range of applications and positionings
Functional WGCP™ (Whole green coffee powder)—derived from raw coffee beans using a patented technology—improves both mental focus and concentration for up to six to eight hours, helps to reduce and stabilize blood glucose levels, and can act as an appetite suppressant. Compared with coffee extracts, WGCP™ powder contains caffeine and a wide variety of other valuable coffee bean components, such as chlorogenic acids, antioxidants, minerals and dietary fibers.
This natural raw coffee bean ingredient delivers sustained caffeine release, whereas caffeinated beverages such as coffee or energy drinks often provide a short-term peak of heightened alertness. Taiyo’s WGCP™ offers a continuous supply of caffeine for a period of six to eight hours—without the associated side-effects of jitters, a rapid heartbeat and the well-known “boom and bust” phenomenon. Conventional energy drinks have often been criticized for their immediate caffeine boost and subsequent period of fatigue.
