Java Burn is a supplement added to coffee and used for weight loss. The brand makes the bold claim that “There’s never been anything close to Java Burn ever attempted,” and that its effect is “torching off fat from your problem areas.”
But does Java Burn contain ingredients proven in research studies to cause weight loss? Does the supplement contain any questionable additives? What’s actually in Java Burn? And how do real users rate and describe its effects?
In this article we’ll answer all of these questions and more, as we analyze the ingredients in Java Burn to give our take on whether or not the supplement is likely to be effective, and whether or not it's healty.
We’ll share our concern about the ingredient disclosures on one of the most popular retailer's websites.
We'll also share our concern about the status of this product as a ClickBank supplement, and feature real Java Burn customer reviews.
Missing Ingredients
The main website selling Java Burn did not include the ingredients anywhere on their homepage at the time of initially publishing this article.
Even the fine print and FAQ section did not include an ingredient listing.
We were able to find the ingredients shown below on a subdomain of Java Burn’s website in a “support” section.
We strongly recommend that the brand clearly publish this information on their homepage or product page, because this is important for consumer safety.
Vitamin D, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and chromium are a vitamin and mineral blend that comprise half of Java Burn’s active ingredients.
We cannot find any clinical evidence that these ingredients at their stated doses cause weight loss, nor does the brand currently cite any.
Green tea leaf extract has been clinically shown to cause weight loss, however it’s an ingredient that health-conscious consumers may wish to avoid.
According to Health Canada, this ingredient has been shown to cause liver damage in some cases.
We do not believe that the 300 milligram (mg) green tea extract dose in Java Burn is likely to cause liver damage, but it still seems prudent in our view to avoid any ingredient that may harm the liver.
Green coffee bean extract was shown to cause 1.29 pounds of weight loss over eight weeks in a meta-study, as we documented in our Trimtone reviews article on another weight loss supplement containing this ingredient.
L-carnitine and l-theanine are amino acids not typically used for weight loss.
We can’t find any clinical evidence supporting the use of these ingredients in a weight loss formulation.
Based on the active ingredients in Java Burn, we consider it potentially effective for weight loss due to the green tea extract and green coffee bean extract.
This supplement also contains one questionable additive ingredient.
Natural flavor is a healthier option than artificial flavor, but still may be toxic depending on the natural flavoring agents used, according to a 2013 medical review.
A doctor named Brian Yeung goes into more detail on each ingredient in an analysis posted to his YouTube page:
Our Issue With ClickBank Supplements
Java Burn is marketed on an affiliate platform called ClickBank.
This platform allows individuals and entities with no relevant medical or scientific experience to market health products without pre-approval in some cases.
This process creates economic incentives for people without any health knowledge to make specific health claims that may be inaccurate.
We generally consider supplements sold on ClickBank to be low-quality, because a high-quality brand would not want literally anyone to be marketing their products in our opinion.
A TikTok user named Kevin Schattovits shows how easy it is below to start promoting health products on ClickBank:
@purewealthhustler Clickbank is a marketplace where you can find a ton of Affiliate Products. Digital products usually have higher commission rates than physical ones. You can find winning products in there but do your researching or even try out products before you promote. Promote with integrity! Here are the steps 1.

Questionable Health Claims
There are a number of questionable and uncited health claims on the Java Burn website.
As shown above, the brand suggests that their supplement is formulated to work “synergistically” with coffee which suggests that some sort of chemical reaction makes it especially effective with coffee.
However, no proof at all is provided of such effect.
The brand also claims their technology is “patent-pending,” but that doesn’t mean it’s proven to work.
Java Burn also claims that their supplement increases energy, reduces hunger and improves overall health, while providing no citations or support for any of these claims:
We consider it to be a red flag of a low-quality brand to make specific health claims without providing any support for such claims.
Real People Try Java Burn
A TikTok user named Troy Beav explains if Java Burn caused weight loss for him:

A TikTok user named “Stimulife Health” tried Java Burn and claims in the comments that it did not cause weight loss after one month of use:

Does Java Burn Cause Side Effects?
Java Burn does not appear to have been studied in any clinical trials, which makes it challenging to determine whether or not the supplement will cause side effects.
However, we can make an educated guess based on its ingredients.
Green coffee leaf extract can have a stimulatory effect, but it’s a mild stimulant and is considered less of a stimulant than coffee.
There are no other ingredients in this formulation we consider likely to cause side effects, so we do not believe that Java Burn is likely to cause side effects in healthy adults.
The brand’s website states that Java Burn does not cause side effects, and claims that none have been reported by their thousands of users.
The brand has not been the subject of any lawsuits related to adverse effects at the time of updating this article.
