Product Information
Name:Cafestol
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Cafestol is a diterpene compound, which is primarily sourced from coffee beans. It is found in the oily fraction of coffee, particularly in unfiltered types like French press and Turkish coffee. Its mode of action involves influencing lipid metabolism in the liver. Specifically, cafestol acts as an agonist for certain nuclear receptors, including FXR and PXR, which play a role in bile acid regulation and lipid homeostasis.Cafestol is known to have a notable impact on cholesterol levels. It causes an increase in serum cholesterol by reducing the excretion of bile acids, consequently enhancing cholesterol reabsorption. Due to its pronounced effects on cholesterol metabolism, cafestol is a compound of interest in cardiovascular research, especially in the context of dietary factors influencing heart health. Scientists are exploring its broader implications on lipid-related diseases and how modifying coffee preparation methods can mitigate its impact on health.
