From myths to trends: we reveal the secret. What is the so-called Bulletproof Coffee all about?
A lot has happened on the coffee market since coffee was discovered around the year 800: Initially, the drink was only poured with water, but there are now many ways of refining the hot drink. It is no longer just a matter of eliciting the delicious aroma of the coffee beans in the best possible way, but also of combining it with the right ingredients. In addition to the standard components such as milk or sugar, more and more exotic variants are being added.
In addition to the taste, various effects of the coffee bean are in the foreground, e.g. B. the stimulating caffeine. Coffee contains over 1000 ingredients, not all of which have yet been chemically decoded. Accordingly, research and experiments continue to try to filter out one or more specific properties of the coffee bean that have a positive effect. All these inventions result in new coffee trends such as cold brew tonic, cold brew fruits, bulletproof coffee, cofftea or chi coffee. One of these trends will be examined in more detail below: the bulletproof coffee. What exactly is all the hype about this coffee drink? Where does it come from and what effects does it have?
The History of Bulletproof Coffee
Bulletproof Coffee was discovered by American Dave Asprey a few years ago. At the time he had visited the Tibetan plateau. The recipe was inspired by the local favorite drink, butter tea. The yak belongs to the species of cattle that live there, so it is a mixture of yak butter and tea.
At that time, the American was very lacking in energy. Due to mold infestation in his own four walls, he had health problems that only increased his lack of energy. However, after drinking the Tibetans’ favorite drink, he experienced a great increase in energy from it. Back in the US, he set about mixing something similar himself. It took a few years before he could celebrate his first success. With the help of a special type of coffee, he made great strides. This special coffee had fewer mycotoxins, i.e. less mold toxins. In particular, the substance ochratoxin A was contained in the coffee in a smaller amount. The right mixture of the toxin-free coffee together with yak butter and MCT oil finally led to a drink that was convincing: he felt the energy again that he had felt when consuming the yak butter tea.
He had even managed to develop an even more effective mixture than yak butter tea. The additives combine different substances that have positive effects on the human body. Saturated fats made their comeback, as did the large amounts of fats ingested that are supposed to be good for humans. In addition, of course, there is also the coffee with its many positive effects, which is used in this mixture. The Bulletproof Coffee combines many positive effects in one drink. According to Dave Asprey, the hot drink worked wonders for him. Like the coffee drink, he named his company Bulletproof. Of course there were other versions besides this coffee trend, but the Bulletproof Coffee is one of the most important developments of the company. But what exactly has such a positive effect on the body? To do this, the components must be examined more closely.
Ingredients and effects of Bulletproof Coffee
In order to be able to understand the effect of this coffee trend, it is helpful to know the exact ingredients. It’s just three ingredients:
high quality coffee
MCT oil
pasture butter
However, the high concentration and the selected ingredients make the difference. The coffee no longer contains toxins and is therefore much healthier. According to the inventor of Bulletproof Coffee, this particular oil is 18 times more potent than coconut oil. This blend is said to have the same special effect on the body as the yak butter tea that served as inspiration.
If the coffee variant is prepared correctly, it should help with lack of energy. It is considered by many to be the “high performance” panacea. In general, many positive effects of coffee on the body have already been proven. The coffee bean has some substances that humans need or that are good for them. He is said to have many diseases such as B. Preventing depression. With the development of Bulletproof Coffee, there is now another aid to burning fat. For many people around the world, the drink is considered a newly discovered fat burning miracle weapon, even celebrities rely on the effect. At the same time, the feeling of hunger decreases, which means that you automatically eat less and lose weight.
The Bulletproof Coffee therefore increases performance, which leads to a permanently increased or longer ability to concentrate. To best achieve these effects, coffee is drunk in the morning, replacing the breakfast meal. Carbohydrates are left out in the morning and saturated with MCT oil as well as omega-3 fatty acids and vegetable fats, which are required for many metabolic processes. If the Bulletproof Coffee is taken in the morning, it keeps you full for a few hours and provides the body with important energy. It is completely sufficient as an energy supplier until lunch. Bulletproof coffee has the consistency of a creamy latte, provided it has been prepared correctly.
