NO: The active chemical in green coffee bean extract is chlorogenic acid which has been linked to several kidney diseases most notably chinese herb nephropathy. I donot know its effects on cyst growth. Overall the product is toxic to kidneys and should not be taken.
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.
