Question 2

How do I contact Bulletproof?

Question 3

I can't log into my account.

Accepted Answer

This is complicated because it has to do with the difference between labeling laws and laboratory assays. Chicory mostly isn't counted as a fiber as per labeling law. On the other hand, net carbs isn't a recognized term in labeling law. The law says that we can use the term, but it has to be apart from the FDA-mandated Nutrition Facts panel, and we must also state how we came up with the number. Since chicory is a carbohydrate but also a source of indigestible inulin, we subtract it from the total carbs to give you the net carbs which is the actual amount that will lead to a glycemic response in your body. The chicory does no such thing. But it is still considered a carb, not a fiber. The gram of fiber on the Nutrition Facts panel comes from chicory (which does contain a small amount of fiber; see, I told you it was complicated!). In this case, showing a Net Carbs calculation as being Total Carbs– prebiotics provides more information than the FDA-mandated Nutrition Facts panel. Chicory inulin is prebiotic BECAUSE it is mostly not digested (apart from that 1 gram).

Question 4

Why Do You Use Maltodextrin In Your Products?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for asking!Unlike the majority of companies who choose a starch like GMO corn - derived maltodextrin or a milk - based medium( which are at risk of mold and allergen contamination during processing and can contain enough digestible starch or sugar to keep you from entering ketosis, we use non - GMO,highly - branched cyclic maltodextrin in our flavored Collagen Proteins. Highly - branched cyclic dextrin is superior because it’ s free of milk allergens, its high molecular weight lets it pass through your stomach very quickly, and its branched structure keeps it from causing a glucose spike.That means you can stay in ketosis despite highly - branched cyclic dextrin’ s carb content.

What is Bulletproof Coffee?

Accepted Answer

Bulletproof Coffee is a functional beverage made by blending high-quality coffee with grass-fed ghee (or grass-fed butter) and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil. The delicious combination of these ingredients provides sustained energy without the typical crashes associated with consuming sugary or high-carbohydrate beverages. The healthy fats help provide a feeling of fullness and support mental clarity. Learn more about the Bulletproof Coffee Recipe. [https://www.bulletproof.com/recipes/bulletproof-diet-recipes/bulletproof-coffee-recipe/]

Question 19

Why do people put butter in their coffee?

Accepted Answer

People put butter in their coffee to make Bulletproof Coffee™. Blending high-quality fats, such as grass-fed butter, helps provide a feeling of fullness and sustained energy. Our Bulletproof Coffee Recipe [https://www.bulletproof.com/recipes/bulletproof-diet-recipes/bulletproof-coffee-recipe/] recommends using Grass-Fed Ghee [https://shop.bulletproof.com/products/grassfedghee] in the place of butter along with Brain Octane C8 MCT Oil [https://shop.bulletproof.com/products/brain-octane-oil-32-oz] for the best keto coffee.

Question 21

How much caffeine is there in coffee?

Accepted Answer

The caffeine levels in coffee can vary based on factors such as the coffee roast, the brewing method and the serving size. On average, an 8-ounce cup of brewed coffee contains approximately 80 to 100 milligrams of caffeine. One of our enhanced coffee, The High Achiever, contains 175 milligrams of caffeine per serving or approximately double the amount found in a regular cup of coffee. It's important to remember that individual sensitivities to caffeine can vary.

Question 22

How do you make cold brew coffee?

Accepted Answer

Cold brew coffee is easy to make with some time and the right tools. Follow our simple recipe for how to make cold brew coffee. [https://www.bulletproof.com/diet/bulletproof-diet/cool-off-with-bulletproof-cold-brew/].

Question 23

How do you make coffee?

Accepted Answer

You can make coffee in many ways, such as pour-over, French press or using an espresso machine. Here's a basic method for making coffee using a drip coffee maker at home: Ingredients: Ground coffee beans [https://shop.bulletproof.com/products/coffee-the-original-ground-12oz], Cold water (ideally, filtered). Equipment: Coffee machine, Coffee filter, Coffee scoop. Steps: Prepare the Coffee Machine: Make sure your coffee machine is clean. Fill the reservoir with cold, filtered water. Measure Coffee: Use a coffee scoop to measure your coffee grounds. Use 1 to 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds for every 6 ounces of water. Adjust this based on your taste and caffeine preferences. Add Coffee Grounds: Place a coffee filter in the filter basket of your coffee machine. Add the measured coffee grounds to the filter. Start Brewing: Start the coffee machine according to its instructions. Wait and Enjoy: Once the machine has brewed all the coffee, pour it into your favorite mug and add any desired coffee creamers. You can also use this freshly-brewed coffee to make Bulletproof Coffee [https://www.bulletproof.com/recipes/bulletproof-diet-recipes/bulletproof-coffee-recipe/]. Clean Up: Remember to turn off the coffee maker and clean the filter basket and coffee pot. Experiment with different coffee beans, grind sizes, ratios and mix-ins [https://shop.bulletproof.com/products/bulletproof-creamer-original-14-8-oz]  to find the coffee that you enjoy the most.

Question 24

Why does coffee make you poop?

Accepted Answer

There are several reasons that coffee can make you poop. The caffeine in coffee can cause the muscles in the intestines to contract, promoting bowel movements.  The acids in coffee, caffeinated or decaffeinated, can stimulate the muscles of the stomach which can signal to the intestinal tract to move previously eaten foods along.  This, combined with the acids' abilities to stimulate bile secretion, allows for an even better movement through the digestive tract. Some people may experience a stronger laxative effect from coffee than others. If regular coffee consumption is leading to digestive discomfort, consider adjusting your coffee consuption or speaking with your healthcare provider.

Question 25

How do I make coffee without a coffee maker?

Accepted Answer

There are several simple ways to make coffee without a coffee maker such as a pour-over, french press or cold brew coffee [https://www.bulletproof.com/diet/bulletproof-diet/cool-off-with-bulletproof-cold-brew/]. If you want as little equipment in your kitchen as possible or you are somewhere without access to a coffee maker such as camping in the woods, you can use the following boiling method: Boil water in a pot. Add approximately 2 tbs of ground coffee for ever 6 ounces of water. Boil together for two minutes then remove from the heat. Gently tap the side of the pot to encourage the coffee grounds to settle to the bottom. Pour the coffee slowly to avoid disturbing the grounds that have settled at the bottom.

Question 26

How much coffee grounds should I use per cup of water?

Accepted Answer

We recommend using approximately two tablespoons of ground coffee for every six ounces of water.

Question 27

How is decaf coffee made?

Accepted Answer

There are several methods widely used to decaffinate coffee but only one that we consider Bulletproof: The Swiss Water Process. Other methods of decaffination involve chemical solvents. These processes are commonly used by commercial coffee chains and brands to save time and money. The Swiss Water Process removes caffeine while preserving the taste and aroma of your coffee. It's considered a more natural process compared to other widely-used methods because it's chemical-free. In the Swiss Water Proccess, green coffee beans are soaked in hot water to extract the caffeine and flavor. This is then passed through an activated charcoal filter to capture the caffeine, while allowing the flavor to pass through. This flavor-charged water then resoaks the green coffee beans which are then dried and roasted to further bring out the flavor.

Question 28

How do you grind coffee?

Accepted Answer

Grinding whole bean coffee at home is a great way to enjoy a fresh cup of coffee customized to your preference. The grind size directly impacts the extraction process. If the grounds are too fine, the coffee might turn out bitter. Or, if they're too coarse, the brew could be weak. Experiment with different grind sizes to find the perfect one for your preferred brewing method. Lean more about how to grind coffee beans. [https://www.bulletproof.com/coffee/how-to-grind-coffee-beans/]

Question 29

How many calories are there in Bulletproof Coffee?

Accepted Answer

There are 230 calories in a cup of Bulletproof Coffee [link to BP coffee recipe]. The calories in Bulletproof Coffee come from the addition of quality fats from grass-fed ghee and MCT oil.

Question 30

How many calories are there in coffee?

Accepted Answer

Black coffee is very low in calories. An 8-ounce cup of black coffee typically contains around 2 calories. But, if you add any additional ingredients to your coffee, such as milk, cream, sugar, syrups or flavorings, the calorie count will increase.

Question 31

Why does coffee make me tired?

Accepted Answer

Caffeine found in coffee is a natural stimulant that can increase alertness and temporarily ward off drowsiness. But, some may experience a caffeine crash, where they feel tired after the initial boost of energy from coffee. There are a few reasons why this might happen. Because the body can adjust to caffeine intake, then more caffeine you drink, the more you will need to get the alertness you want.  So drinking more coffee is not the answer. Additionally, if you consume coffee late in the day, it may interfere with getting a good night's sleep. Your diet, stress levels and overall health can impact how sensitive you are to caffeine. If drinking coffee is making you feel tired, consider adjusting your intake and consult with your healthcare provider for more guidance.

Question 32

How much caffeine is there in decaf coffee?

Accepted Answer

Decaf coffee is not completely caffeine-free, but it does have much less caffeine than regular coffee. On average, an 8-ounce cup of decaf coffee contains about 2 to 5 milligrams of caffeine. For comparison, a regular 8-ounce cup of brewed coffee typically contains around 80 to 100 milligrams of caffeine. Keep in mind that caffeine levels can vary based on factors such as the coffee bean type, brewing method and serving size.

Question 33

Where is the nutritional facts panel for your coffee?

Accepted Answer

Great question - brewed, plain coffee contains no significant amount of the macro-nutrients, fats, carbohydrates and proteins and therefore doesn't require a nutrition facts panel on the package. Adding Ghee, Brain Octane Oil or Collagen Protein will affect the final nutritional value of the drink and may increase the calorie content.

Question 34

How should I store my coffee?

Accepted Answer

Our coffee will stay fresh in the sealed bag up to a year and 3-4 weeks once opened. For optimal freshness we recommend freezing any amount you won't use in that time. For long term sealed storage with minimal degradation, freezing works. Just don’t open it until it returns to room temp to prevent condensation.

Question 35

Are your Bulletproof coffee beans low acid?

Accepted Answer

In the coffee world, acidity is a desirable attribute associated with a high altitude coffee that is fresh, dry, bright, compared with low-grown duller tasting coffees.  The acidity we’re referring to is more akin to the flavors and mouth feel we associate with citrus, like orange or lime juice. We do not test our coffee for pH but for flavor and quality. In general, the darker the roast the lower the acidity (technically on the pH scale). Coffees that are sold as having low acidity are generally lower altitude lower quality and a much darker roast.

Question 36

Does your coffee contain mycotoxins?

Accepted Answer

Our coffee is tested for toxins as a part of the Bulletproof process for growing, harvesting and roasting so you get all the benefits of coffee without the negative health effects.  We reject any green coffee that tests out of the specification of our proprietary toxin panel. The beans are roasted in small batches in United States under the strictest conditions. Roasting the beans enhances their antioxidant capacity and flavor to provide you with a healthier, tastier cup of coffee.

Question 37

I don't drink coffee, is there an alternative?

Accepted Answer

If you don't drink coffee but want to experience the benefits of quality fats, we have a recipe for you: No-Coffee Vanilla Latte: 2 cups hot water, Up to 2 tablespoons grass-fed unsalted butter (use your hunger as a guide), 1 teaspoon vanilla powder, 1 to 2 tablespoons XCT oil or Brain Octane Oil (use your hunger as a guide), Stevia or hardwood xylitol to taste, (optional) pinch of Himalayan salt. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until you have a creamy drink with a nice layer of foam on top. As with Bulletproof Coffee, an immersion blender works fine if you don’t have a high-powered blender handy. Another option is to substitute an organic tea for the coffee in our Bulletproof Coffee recipe.

Question 38

Beside taste, is there a difference between light, medium, and dark-roast beans?

Accepted Answer

You might have heard that light roast and dark roast beans have different levels of caffeine. This isn’t quite true. The size of a coffee bean changes the longer it’s roasted. Light roast beans are smaller and denser than dark roast beans. If you measure your light roast coffee with a scoop or tablespoon, you might end up with more coffee per scoop—and therefore (slightly) more caffeine. If you want to keep your caffeine consistent across different roasts, measure your beans by weight instead of volume.

Question 39

What is the best way to keep Bulletproof coffee beans fresh?

Accepted Answer

Store your beans in an opaque, airtight container at room temperature.

Question 40

Can you make Bulletproof Coffee with an espresso machine?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. If you want to use Bulletproof coffee beans to make espresso, we recommend our medium-dark roast, The Mentalist—but it’s up to personal preference.

Question 41

What is the best way to brew Bulletproof coffee beans?

Accepted Answer

We recommend using a method that preserves the coffee’s natural oils. These contribute to the flavor and antioxidant profile of your brew. Try a French press with glass and steel components.

Question 42

Will whole bean coffee last longer than pre-ground?

Accepted Answer

Ground coffee can lose its freshness faster than whole bean coffee because there’s more surface area exposed to air after grinding. Store your ground coffee in an airtight container to get the most flavor out of your brew. For the freshest and most flavorful cup of coffee, buy your beans whole and grind them right before you brew them. This step maintains the fragrance and complexities of the coffee bean flavor.

Question 43

Which Bulletproof coffee roast makes the strongest coffee?

Accepted Answer

Our Keto Coffee Pods [https://shop.bulletproof.com/products/coffee-keto-coffee-pods-10ct] contain approximately 1.5X the amount of caffeine than a normal cup of coffee while The High Acheiver™ [https://shop.bulletproof.com/products/coffee-the-high-achiever-10oz] contains appoximately 2X the amount of caffeine found in a normal cup of coffee. Additionally, the way you prepare any of our coffees can influence caffeine levels. In general, you’ll get more caffeine out of an espresso shot than a cup of coffee from a drip machine. If you want the strongest coffee flavor, try darker roasts. These coffee beans have more robust flavor profiles that naturally develop from their longer roasting process. French Kick is a smooth and sweet dark roast with smoky chocolate notes. The Mentalist is a medium-dark roast with dark cocoa and vanilla aromatics, cherry sweetness and notes of almond and caramel. Try them in whole bean, ground or single-serve pods.

Question 44

Can you drink Bulletproof coffee plain, without butter and Brain Octane oil?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All Bulletproof coffee beans take well to butter but stand just as well on their own. Check out this blog post for other coffee add-ins to enhance your morning brew. (https://www.bulletproof.com/supplements/dietary-supplements/best-bulletproof-coffee-hacks-supplements-to-add/)

Question 45

Do you need to use Bulletproof coffee beans to make the Bulletproof Coffee recipe?

Accepted Answer

We recommend using our coffee beans because we carefully control and test our coffee beans for mold toxins. This reduces your exposure to the mold toxins that can be found in lower-quality, mass-market coffee beans. We cannot guarantee that other brands uphold to the same quality levels of Bulletproof coffee. We’re proud of our attention to detail. But there’s no guarantee that other companies have the same standards that we do. The official Bulletproof Coffee recipe uses Bulletproof coffee beans because they’re clean and tested for toxins. That means peace of mind, plus delicious and flavorful coffee beans you can feel good about drinking every day.

Question 46

How many cups of coffee can I brew from one 12-ounce bag of coffee beans?

Accepted Answer

It depends on how much you use. However, if you were to use the standard 2 ½ heaping tablespoons of coffee per cup, a 12-ounce bag would make roughly 18 cups of coffee.

Question 47

How long do Bulletproof coffee beans last?

Accepted Answer

For maximum flavor, use an opened bag of coffee within 3 to 4 weeks. Bulletproof coffee beans are best enjoyed within two weeks of receipt. To preserve freshness for as long as possible, store your coffee beans in an opaque, airtight container at room temperature.

Question 48

Are Bulletproof coffee bags vacuum-sealed?

Accepted Answer

Bulletproof Coffee is not vacuum sealed. We package it in multi-layer foil bags that contain a one-way valve that allows the freshly roasted coffee to de-gas while minimizing oxidative degradation. Our coffee is bagged directly after it is roasted to maximize its freshness. This is not a standard practice for commercially available coffee and will cause inflation on occasion, but this does not affect the quality of the coffee whatsoever.

Question 49

What is collagen?

Accepted Answer

Collagen is a protein that plays a crucial role in the structure, strength and elasticity of various tissues in the body.  Collagen provides structural support to our skin, bones, tendons and ligaments, helping them maintain their shape and function. Collagen production naturally decreases as we age. This is why collagen supplements have gained popularity as a way to support  overall well-being.

Question 50

What types of collagen are in your products?

Accepted Answer

Bulletproof collagen protein products are made of predominantly Type I and a small amount of Type III bovine collagen that comes from pasture-raised cows without added hormones. Our collagen is enzymatically processed several times, to leave its nutrition-giving peptides intact. That makes it highly bioavailable for maximum impact.

Question 51

What is your collagen source?

Accepted Answer

Our collagen protein is sourced from pasture raised cattle from South America. During months where grass is scarce they are fed natural feed and are never fed GMO products.

Question 52

Do you test your collagen peptides?

Accepted Answer

All our products adhere to rigorous quality standards enforced by third-party testing. Explore our Testing Standards page [link - future page] to delve into our ingredient sourcing process and quality assurance measures.

Question 53

What are the ingredients that I don't recognize in your protein bars and protein powders?

Accepted Answer

Formulation (what an edible product is made of), sourcing (where do we get each ingredient), and logistics (how reliably can we get them) are complicated challenges to solve. Obviously we strive for the best tasting AND the most 'Bulletproof' ingredients. If the presence of this ingredient bothers you, consider that in any processed food there will be ingredients that are there as processing aids—to help the functional ingredients stick together in bar form, etc. If you would rather avoid any functional ingredients, Unflavored Collagen Peptides [link] are a pure protein powder you can add to lots of other foods.

Question 54

Collagen vs. Whey: What's the difference?

Accepted Answer

Collagen is loaded with amino acids, including glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. Your body uses those amino acids to make more collagen. Collagen is a way to fill in the gaps and make sure your body is getting high enough doses of the amino acids it needs to build more collagen. Unlike collagen, whey protein is derived from milk. Additionally, whey is different because it also contains tryptophan.  We add tryptophan to our Collagen Protein Plus Support products [link]for a complete protein powder. Some people combine whey and collagen—that way, you get all the amino acids your body needs, plus an extra kick of joint and bone support from collagen. Learn how to choose the best collagen powder for your body.

Question 55

Which type of collagen is in the Bulletproof Collagen Peptides powder?

Accepted Answer

Bulletproof Collagen Peptides is primarily type I and a small amount of type III bovine collagen. There are at least 28 different types of collagen, but types I, II and III form 80-90% of the collagen in your body. Type I and III provide structure to your skin, muscles and ligaments.

Question 56

What's the difference between Bulletproof Collagen Peptides and Collagelatin?

Accepted Answer

Bulletproof Collagen Peptides is made up of collagen peptides that have been hydrolyzed, or broken down into an easy-to-digest powder. Thanks to hydrolysis, Collagen Peptides easily dissolves in hot and cold liquids and it won’t form a gel when cooled. Collagelatin is a blend of collagen and gelatin. It forms a jiggly gel when it’s dissolved in hot liquid and cooled. The benefit of Collagelatin is that you get the gelling power of gelatin with added protein from collagen. Use it to make protein-packed gummy treats, or as a versatile thickener in soups and sauces.

Question 57

How much collagen should you have in one day?

Accepted Answer

We recommend 1-2 scoops. One serving (2 scoops) of Bulletproof Collagen Peptides contains at least 20 grams of pure hydrolyzed collagen. You can take it any time of day—try one scoop in your morning coffee and one scoop before you head to bed.

Question 58

Does collagen help hair grow?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a well-balanced diet rich in collagen and the amino acid cysteine may promote healthy and thicker hair growth. You can also get cysteine from high-protein foods like meat, eggs and broccoli.

Question 59

Does collagen help joints?

Accepted Answer

Studies show that collagen may help with joint pain, mobility and flexibility. Collagen is a great hack for endurance athletes, especially if your preferred exercise is tough on the joints—looking at you, endurance runners and powerlifters.

Question 60

What does it mean for collagen to be 'hydrolyzed'?

Accepted Answer

To make collagen, we take gelatin and use gentle enzymes to break it down a step further into hydrolyzed powder. That process allows the final product to easily dissolve in hot or cold liquids, which is great, but it also maintains the nutrition of the collagen and maximizes bioavailability—which means your body can actually absorb those essential amino acids and produce more collagen.

Question 61

Do Bulletproof Collagen Peptides powders mix easily in hot and cold drinks?

Accepted Answer

Yup. Bulletproof Collagen Peptides dissolves easily in hot and cold liquids. The only exception is Collagelatin. Just like those gelatin packets you can buy at the grocery store, Collagelatin dissolves in hot liquids and then gels when cool.

Question 62

What does Bulletproof Collagen taste like?

Accepted Answer

Our Unflavored Collagen Peptides doesn’t taste like anything. It’s also odorless, in case you were wondering. Once you add it to your favorite drinks and recipes, it’s virtually undetectable (but your body will appreciate it).

Question 63

Is collagen peptides powder better than bone broth?

Accepted Answer

Homemade bone broth is tasty and savory, but it also takes hours to properly prepare. Collagen peptides contains the same amino acids as bone broth and it’s way easier to use. Unlike bone broth, collagen powder is flavorless and odorless so it is easy to add into your beverage of choice, hot or cold. Just scoop, stir and go.

Question 64

Is collagen a complete protein?

Accepted Answer

Collagen is not a complete protein as it doesn't contain tryptophan, one of the nine essential amino acids. If you would like to enjoy the benefits of collagen protein with the added benefit of a complete protein, try our Collagen Protein Plus Support products. We add the amino acid, tryptophan for a complete protein powder.
