A member asked:

Hi i have pkd is it okay for me to try green coffee bean extract i don t want my cysts to grow. what to do?

Dr. Raj Singh answered

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.

Dr Baez agreed
