If I can put a big neon sign saying ‘YES!’ I definitely would for this question.

As a coffee addict, I’m so happy that coffee fruits can actually make you smarter and make your brain healthier. Okay, remember the movie called ‘Limitless’ and the nootropic pills that make the main character super intelligent? (Not gonna lie, for years I wish it’s real). Well, I found something sort of similar. A company called Neuro Coffee created smart artisan coffee for better brain health. So, kinda like the Limitless pills but in your coffee cup.

But what’s the difference between your regular Starbucks and Neuro Coffee? There is no shade to Starbucks (still love their Caramel Macchiato), but the secret to better brain coffee is in the coffee fruits. Wait, if you’re like me and think ‘coffee beans and fruits are not the same?’ Well, I was today years old when I found out the two may be from the same tree but are two different things. Coffee beans are really just the seed of the coffee fruits.

The ‘forgotten coffee fruit’ or coffee berry like cherry is a unique antioxidant-rich fruit that is unfortunately removed and discarded when coffee beans are harvested. The fleshy fruit (“coffee fruit”) is traditionally discarded in the fields due to the lack of resources needed to preserve and save the fruit before it gets taken over by mould. This is a nutritional travesty as the fruit itself contains a unique blend of nutrients not found anywhere else in the world. For years this vibrant health powering red fruit has been an afterthought thrown into the trash heap. But not any longer.

Dr Mike Roussell (the formulator of Neuro Coffee) developed coffee blends that contain a unique patented blend of antioxidants taken from the coffee fruit — a part of the coffee plant usually discarded at harvest.

In two randomized human clinical trials, these antioxidants have been shown to support neuron growth and repair by increasing a protein in your body called BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) a.k.a. ‘Miracle-Gro For Your Brain. BDNF’s primary role in your body is to assist in the repair of damaged neurons and the building of new neurons. BDNF levels decline as we age. The rigours of modern life such as stress, insufficient sleep, and inactivity can also lead to lower than optimal levels of BDNF. Neuro Coffee contains the antioxidants needed to increase this vital protein in the BDNF-deprived body. Coffee fruit antioxidants are the only all-natural antioxidant combination shown to increase BDNF levels in the body by over 150%.

Bold & Dark Blend — This is a dark and intense full-bodied roast with a smooth and exotic finish. Enhanced with patented coffee fruit antioxidants to increase BDNF levels.

Breakfast Blend — Our medium roast. An artisan blend of hand-selected Guatemalan and Colombian beans. Enhanced with patented coffee fruit antioxidants to increase BDNF levels.

Donut Shop Blend — A light roast that combines Brazilian and Mexican beans with nice acidity. Enhanced with patented coffee fruit antioxidants to increase BDNF levels.

Leave the coffee roasting and Nutritional Neuroscience to Dr Roussell and his team — all you need to do is brew the coffee at home. How do you brew special coffee like this? Don’t worry, it doesn’t require a medical degree. Just hot water and your favourite coffee maker would do! Oh, and they are also available in K-cups for you fancy Keurig owners.

Brain supplement never looked this good. I’m glad I found this coffee because it’s 2021 and we can’t be ‘basic’ with our coffee, right? Neuro Coffee helps you streamline your health by combining a clinically studied brain supplement and delicious coffee. And a major plus, Neuro Coffee is delivered via coffee, you’ll never have to remember to take any pills or additional supplement each morning — just drink your coffee.
