Putting Green coffee bean extract in context: it lands well below the category average of 40 mg. In the database, 89% of beverages (82 of 92) fall in the 🟢 Safe group (under 25 mg oxalate/serving). The typical beverages here averages 40 mg oxalate per serving, so Green coffee bean extract runs 100% below that baseline. That places it among the lower-oxalate options in its category. Why this matters: the gap between two Safe foods can be wide — one may hold 5 mg oxalate while another sits at 24 mg. The lower one leaves more room in your day.

Why does the safe threshold matter?
The 25 mg line is the reference point clinicians use to separate everyday foods from ones that need caution. Every value on this page traces back to Harvard's 2024 lab analysis, so the threshold is applied to measured data rather than estimates. For context, Green coffee bean extract measures 0 mg per 1 serving, rated Safe.
Can I eat this food every day?
Daily eating is fine for Safe foods (under 25 mg/serving). For Caution or Avoid foods, spread them out and alternate with low-oxalate picks. The idea is keeping your weekly oxalate load manageable, not eliminating any single food. For context, Green coffee bean extract measures 0 mg per 1 serving, rated Safe.
Where does the oxalate data come from?
Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (2024) via the OHF database. These are direct laboratory measurements — the most reliable oxalate data available for food. For context, Green coffee bean extract measures 0 mg per 1 serving, rated Safe.
Should I also check sodium and calcium?
Yes — kidney stone risk isn't just about oxalate. High sodium increases urinary calcium (a stone promoter). Adequate dietary calcium (from food, not supplements) actually binds oxalate in your gut.
