Is Organic Coffee Acid Free?
People suffering from acid reflux or digestive issues often find that coffee causes them heartburn and indigestion. Luckily, there are alternatives which are both lower in acidity and don’t contain caffeine that are much better choices.
Organic low acid coffee is made with beans grown without harmful chemicals, and features a more subtle flavor profile, allowing each flavor to shine brightly for an enhanced tasting experience.
It is lower in chlorogenic acid
Chlorogenic acid is the cornerstone of coffee’s many healthful benefits, as a primary antioxidant. This compound combines caffeic acid and quinic acid as well as many micronutrients and phenolic compounds responsible for its bitter or astringent flavor, among others. Coffee’s chlorogenic acid levels depend on bean type, roast level and brewing method used; dark roast will contain higher levels than light roasted options but you should consume both types in order to reap all their potential advantages.
Coffee contains many bioactive compounds beyond caffeine, including diterpenes, polyphenols, cafestol and kahweol that provide numerous health benefits as well as its unique flavor. These bioactives also boast anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties known to lower blood pressure, prevent oxidative stress and diabetes risk reduction and even protect against liver damage or Parkinson’s disease.
Studies have revealed that high-CGA coffee is more effective at improving postprandial blood flow and endothelial function than low-CGA varieties, and also improves glucose regulation – helping reduce insulin levels and body weight while simultaneously decreasing body size and body fat accumulation. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory effects help decrease blood pressure as well as risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease.
