Prebiotic Bulletproof Coffee

At a Glance:

  • Starting your day with gut-friendly ingredients may help support digestion, energy and focus.
  • Maximizer Coffee includes targeted compounds like prebiotics, MCT oil and slippery elm bark to support your gut without extra supplements.
  • Choosing low acid, toxin-tested coffee can be a smarter option if you have a sensitive stomach or to break a fast gently.

If you’ve been drinking Bulletproof Coffee for a while, you already know the power of starting your day with healthy fats and high-quality beans. That classic combo fuels focus, keeps you full and supports clean energy. But now, your morning coffee can do even more.

Meet The Maximizer—the next upgrade to your morning ritual. This medium-dark roast includes gut-friendly ingredients like prebiotic fiber, slippery elm bark, and chromium picolinate. This supercharged blend supports digestion, brain function and metabolism—all in one cup.

Why Gut Health Matters First Thing in the Morning

Your gut does more than break down food. It helps regulate your immune system,[1] influences mood[2], and plays a key role in how you absorb nutrients.[3] That’s why giving your gut the right support at the start of the day makes a difference. A morning cup of gut health coffee can set the tone for stable energy, better digestion and a more resilient microbiome.

If you’re wondering “Is coffee bad for gut health?”—not necessarily. The problem isn’t coffee itself, but how it’s made. Some conventional blends are high in acid or mold toxins[4] which can irritate the digestive system. That’s why Bulletproof uses a clean, tested, low acid coffee that’s easy on the gut and tested for toxins that don’t belong in your morning cup.

What’s in Maximizer Coffee—and What It Does for You

Coffee is part of many people’s morning routine—but it doesn’t always work in your favor. Some blends are too harsh on an empty stomach, especially if you’re intermittent fasting or sensitive to acid. Others spike your energy only to leave you crashing an hour later. If your health goals include better digestion, mental clarity and stable energy, what you put in your mug matters.

Maximizer Coffee brings together ingredients that are gentler on your gut. While it’s not a magic fix, it’s a smarter way to start your day if you’re looking to get more out of your morning brew. Here’s what goes into each cup:

Prebiotics

Prebiotics feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut, helping them thrive and support digestion, immunity and even brain health.[5]

Slippery Elm Bark

This soothing plant compound has been traditionally used to coat the stomach and support the gut lining.[6] It helps promote comfort if your digestion tends to feel off first thing in the morning.

Chromium Picolinate

A trace mineral that supports appetite and metabolism,[7] which is key if you’re aiming to avoid the typical energy crash mid-morning or nibbling.

Low Acid Coffee Beans

Easier on the stomach and tested to be free from mold and other contaminants.

Functional Mix-Ins to Get More Out of Your Coffee

Elevate your daily cup with ingredients that support energy, focus and satiety. These functional mix-ins turn your brew into more than just a caffeine fix—they help fuel your body and mind.

Brain Octane C8 MCT Oil

This pure form of medium-chain triglycerides converts quickly into ketones[8] —fuel for your brain that supports mental clarity and focus.

Grass-Fed Ghee

Rich in butyrate and fat-soluble vitamins, ghee supports digestion[9] and acts as a clean-burning energy source.

When to Drink Maximizer Coffee

This blend works best as part of your morning ritual. Drink it first thing, ideally on an empty stomach, to support digestion and help you stay sharp through your busiest hours. It’s especially helpful if you’re someone who:

  • Wants to support gut health without adding a dozen supplements to your routine
  • Struggles with – nibbling mid-morning
  • Wants some caffeine in the morning to help with brain fog or sluggishness.
  • Prefers to break a fast with something gentle on the stomach

This isn’t just prebiotic coffee. It’s a multitasking blend designed to simplify your supplement routine while delivering noticeable results.

How to Make the Perfect Gut Health Coffee

Start your day with more intention—your coffee can do more than just wake you up. With the right ingredients, it can support digestion, mental clarity and balanced energy. Maximizer Coffee makes it easier to feel your best, one cup at a time.
