We discuss BBN in the presence of a non-minimally coupled quintessence model. In some of these models, the gravitational constant and cosmic expansion rate are smaller than standard model predicts. The Helium abundance is then smaller, possibly resolve the marginal disagreement between theory and observation. Furthermore, the constraint on neutrino species may also be relaxed.
