Is Coffee With Added Chlorogenic Acid the Same as a Capsule?
No. Coffee with chlorogenic acid is a drink with an unknown amount of extract, while a SodaSlim capsule prints 130 mg of green coffee bean extract at 50%, about 65 mg of chlorogenic acids, plus 138 mg of caffeine. Different forms mean different doses, so compare label numbers, not product names.

Is coffee with chlorogenic acid the same as SodaSlim?
No, they are two different products that share one ingredient name. A coffee drink and a capsule can both mention chlorogenic acids and still deliver very different amounts.
SodaSlim is a capsule, not a drink. It has no liquid, no bubbles and no flavor. One capsule a day is the label direction.
A coffee product should print its own extract amount and its own caffeine. If it does not, you cannot compare it with anything, and you cannot add it to your day with any confidence.
What should you compare between a coffee drink and a capsule?
Compare four numbers: the extract amount, the share of chlorogenic acids, the caffeine and the serving. If a product prints all four, you can do the math. If it prints none, you cannot.
| Check | SodaSlim capsule | A coffee drink to check |
|---|---|---|
| Extract amount | 130 mg | Is a number printed? |
| Chlorogenic acids | 50%, about 65 mg | Is a share printed? |
| Caffeine | 138 mg, plus an unprinted extra | Is it counted? |
| Serving | 1 capsule, 30 per bottle | Cup size and scoops |
| Directions | One capsule daily | Is a daily limit given? |
The checklist works for any label.
Can you drink coffee with chlorogenic acid and take the capsule too?
You can, but count the caffeine first. Brewed coffee runs 113 to 247 mg per 12 fl oz, and one capsule adds 138 mg, so one cup plus the capsule lands at 251 to 385 mg (FDA, Spilling the beans: how much caffeine is too much).
The FDA's guide for most healthy adults is about 400 mg a day from every source (FDA, Spilling the beans: how much caffeine is too much). That leaves little room for a second cup, an energy drink or a second caffeine supplement.
Energy drink labels may not match what the can actually holds (MedlinePlus, Caffeine). A drink that adds extract on top of that makes your total harder to know. See the caffeine content page for the tally.

FAQ01
SodaSlim questions people ask
Does coffee with chlorogenic acid help with weight loss?
The sources we read do not show that. A review of three poor-quality trials of green coffee extract found a difference of 2.47 kg, and the authors called the studies weak (Onakpoya 2011, Green coffee extract meta-analysis). A coffee drink has no better proof.
How much caffeine is in coffee compared with a SodaSlim capsule?
A 12 fl oz brewed coffee holds 113 to 247 mg of caffeine, and one SodaSlim capsule holds 138 mg (FDA, Spilling the beans: how much caffeine is too much). So one capsule sits inside the range of a single large cup, before the extract's unprinted extra.
Is green coffee the same as regular coffee?
Green coffee means seeds before roasting, so the extract starts from the same plant. The label names Coffea robusta seed and sets the strength at 50% chlorogenic acids. A roasted drink is a different product.
