Essential Nutrients in Coffee

Tue, Aug 18, 15 by Jim Couch

Coffee is more than just a caffeinated beverage! Many of the nutrients in coffee beans do actually make it into the final drink. A 16 oz. mug of coffee contains:

• Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): 11% of the RDA.
• Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): 6% of the RDA.
• Manganese and Potassium: 3% of the RDA.
• Magnesium and Niacin (B3): 2% of the RDA.

HealthWise Coffee also has higher than average mineral contents of Calcium, Potassium, Iron, and Zinc due to our TechnoRoasting process.  HealthWise also has dozens of trace minerals in its coffees.  These micro-nutrients are essential for promoting normal growth and development.  Some examples include Boron, which promotes normal growth, and maintains proper levels of steroid hormones; Molybdenum, which promotes normal growth and reproductive capability; Selenium, which can protect against Mercury poisoning, and mitigate against muscle pain, weakness and heart disease.
