Keto Coffee, Amino Acids, and Superfood Powders
Welcome to the Ask Dr. Cohen series, part #5. Today we cover keto coffee, amino acids, and superfood powders—three tools that can support energy, fasting, and performance. These questions are based on what readers most often ask about our UnBeetABrew™, FundAminos, and ChocoBerry Blast products.
Is UnBeetABrew better than regular coffee?
UnBeetABrew combines organic freeze-dried coffee granules, beet powder, and medicinal mushrooms. Unlike standard coffee, it delivers natural nitrates, antioxidants, and adaptogens for smoother energy and cardiovascular benefits. Its formulation was inspired by traditional Eastern European field meals of borscht, mushrooms, and black coffee.
Yes, you can replace your daily cup with UnBeetABrew. It provides the antioxidant profile of coffee with the added benefits of beet nitrates and functional mushrooms.
Does keto coffee or amino acids break a fast?
Black coffee, including UnBeetABrew, does not break a fast. Amino acids technically end autophagy, but they don’t spike blood glucose significantly. Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) research from 2023 shows that FundAminos keeps you in a fat-burning metabolic state while supplying protein equivalents.
For workouts, take UnBeetABrew 30–45 minutes before, and use FundAminos after training to support muscle recovery.
FundAminos vs. PureClean Protein: which is better?
FundAminos is a nearly pure amino acid formula for rapid absorption and post-workout use. PureClean Protein is a complete protein containing collagen, vitamins, and minerals for broader nutritional support. Using both ensures you cover quick recovery needs and longer-term tissue repair.
- FundAminos: fast absorption, 2 scoops post-workout
- PureClean Protein: slower absorption, use in shakes or meals
- ChocoBerry Blast: combines beet nitrates with polyphenols
Stacking these products reduces the need for excess dietary protein while enhancing recovery.
Updated research on beet powder and nitrates (2023–2025)
Recent studies published in PubMed confirm that dietary nitrates from beetroot and coffee improve exercise efficiency, blood pressure, and mitochondrial function. According to 2024 sports nutrition data, athletes supplementing with beet powders showed a 3–5% increase in time-to-exhaustion compared to placebo. Concerns about oxalates are minimal when products are sourced from low-oxalate, high-nitrate beets as used in PureClean Performance formulas.
FAQ
Can I take FundAminos before bed?
Yes, but best absorption occurs away from protein- and fat-heavy meals. Evening use can support recovery, though many prefer late afternoon.
Should I alternate ChocoBerry Blast and PureClean Beet?
You can alternate or combine them. ChocoBerry Blast offers a polyphenol-rich superfood mix, while PureClean Beet has higher nitrate levels for performance.
Do I need to cycle off beet or superfood powders?
No cycling is required when following label serving sizes. Modern nitrate research shows no tolerance effect at recommended doses.
