Coffee contains tryptophan, a chemical converted by the body into a brain chemical called serotonin that helps regulate sleep, appetite, and mood, and inhibits pain. Green coffee beans contain the largest amounts of chlorogenic acid (CGA) found in plants, ranging from 6-12%.Chlorogenic acid derivatives stimulate adenosine molecules to bind to brain cells, thus acting contrary to caffeine. When you drink coffee, the effects of caffeine and chlorogenic acids on brain cells seem to balance out.
