Frequently Asked Questions

Bulletproof Brain Octane Oils contains only C8 (Caprylic Acid) one of the shortest medium chain triglycerides (MCT). It is more rapidly absorbed by the body than MCT oil which is a combination of both C8 and C10 MCTs. Brain Octane is the popular choice for brain fuel while MCT oil is preferred for physical energy. This blog post compares MCT oils.

In order to always provide the freshest coffee beans, Bulletproof sources beans from estates in Columbia for roasting in December to June and sources coffee beans from an estate in Guatemala to provide beans from June to December.

A meticulous processing method from picking the cherries to bagging the coffee which makes the coffee as free of mycotoxin (mould) as possible. This is a single origin (from one farm and no mixed batches), grown at high altitude, mechanically processed, passive organic and Rainforest Alliance certified coffee (farmers earn 30% more than their counterparts under FairTrade programs).

When you make Bulletproof Coffee  you can experience a steadier high and enjoy instead of crashing after a couple of hours and repeating the cycle for the rest of the work day. You can avoid the nausea, jitteriness and headaches associated with many other brands of coffee – even other premium single origin beans that can vary in quality week-to-week. You get the antioxidant benefits of coffee without negating them with mycotoxins common to 95% of coffee.

For a full list of benefits, see the manufacturer's website: Bulletproof.com.

Combine the coffee with MCT or Brain Octane Oil and some deliciously creamy butter or ghee from grass-fed cows for an amazing Bulletproof Coffee experience that will leave you satiated, focused, energised and happy all day. :-)

Here's a Recipe:

Ingredients:

At least 2 tbsp unsalted grass-fed butter or ghee (I like up to 6 tbsp, or 80g or 88 ml).1-2 tbsp of Brain Octane or MCT oil (15-30 ml).2 cups (~453g or 500ml) of hot coffee brewed with low-toxin beans (like Bulletproof Upgraded Coffee). You'll need 12-15g of beans which works out to about 2-3 tablespoons.Also check out our neat How to Make Bulletproof Coffee video :-)

Method: 

Brew 2 cups of black coffee with Bulletproof Coffee beans. A steep time of 60s is enough. The longer you steep, the more bitter your coffee (and potentially less flavourful).Preheat a blender with some hot water. Then remove the water and add butter and MCT oil.Pour your coffee into the blender. You could also use a bowl and a hand blender.Blend and enjoy! (Or shake up in a Klean Kanteen)Optionally, add in raw chocolate powder, cinnamon and/or vanilla.

Woolworths HomeBrand and Westgold are the most economical options. Some tastier options include Organic Times (actually states 'grass-fed' on the label), Ashgrove and Paris Creeks. For the adventurous, try Pepe Saya's grass-fed cultured butter or ghee. This regularly updated blog post details Australian butter brands and where to find them.

The new bluetooth sensor is compatible with both Apple and Android devices. If you have an iPhone, you also have the option of the lightning sensor. The emWave2 is good to use while working at a computer but is inconvenient and not portable compared the the device connectable sensors. As for the technology I believe it is effective and of a high quality. The Inner Balance app (a free download from the iTunes or Android stores) is great and has all the information and recording options that 99% of users would need. The other 1% at the extreme end of the biohacking spectrum would enjoy the games and more data that you get from the emwave2 as well, but to a lesser extent.

Do you have a phone number?

Alas, no. However, you can message us on WhatsApp:
https://wa.me/message/VBO2QV6LN3TOM1

Or Instagram or Facebook.

We have a very small team that collaborates remotely online across different time zones and currently don't have the capacity to take phone calls. Just because we don't have a phone number, doesn't mean we're not a real business.

We've been serving customers since 2013. At last count, we have 12.696 positive reviews and we'll do our best to get one from you too :)

If we did display a phone number, i'm afraid no one would answer when you called and you would be stuck with voicemail. If you want to enquire about the status of your order, please email info@optimoz.com.au. We'll do our best to answer your question as quickly as possible. 

Have another question? email us at info@optimoz.com.au or whatsapp:
