The Home Of Bomb Proof Coffee

I cover the facts about hydrolyzed whey few are aware of. Does it have benefits over regular whey? If so, for who and why? Is it superior for bodybuilders and other athletes trying to add muscle? Most of what is out there for claims is hype. I lay down the facts people need to know! Paper used in vid: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7443767/ […]

Ferroptosis is a relatively recent discovery in the realm of cell death mechanisms. While most are familiar with apoptosis and autophagy—both forms of programmed cell death—ferroptosis represents a fundamentally different process: it is iron-dependent, characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides and reactive oxygen species (ROS), ultimately leading to oxidative cell death. Interest in ferroptosis surged during the COVID-19 pandemic, […]

As creatine is generally neuro protective, and has benefits in some neuro-muscular diseases, mood, and so forth, as covered extensively on this site, so no surprises here for those who follow my work. More data needed, but very promising: “Creatine monohydrate pilot in Alzheimer’s: Feasibility, brain creatine, and cognition” Highlights •Creatine monohydrate supplementation was feasible in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. […]

New Product, Purchase AAP HERE AAP is not unlike AlphaJoe coffee booster, in that it’s a “simple” formulation I have been using and recommending for years. I mix the three key ingredients – whey, collagen, and colostrum – almost daily, as I feel they’re synergistic, with evidence  to support immunity, muscle mass, joint and connective tissue, GI health, and skin, […]

2025 Updates: Data continues to support the fact creatine is far more than a simple sports nutrition supplement per studies below, which I have updated several times. Yet another study supporting creatine as beneficial to both body and mind supplement finds the addition of creatine to cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) was superior to CBT alone. The highlights of this study entitled […]

Epicatechin is a naturally occurring flavonoid found in highest levels in cocoa and dark chocolate. Other foods containing smaller amounts of Epicatechin are green tea, berries, and red wine, as well as others. Studies suggest a wide range of potential benefits, including antioxidant properties, cardiovascular health, supporting brain function, mitochondrial biogenesis and muscle regeneration, and others. More data suggests it […]

Regular coffee ingestion continues to be strongly associated with a variety of benefits. There’s also little doubt in my mind there’s additional benefits and synergism by including AlphaJoe to the daily coffee intake. A review paper just out, “Impact of coffee intake on human aging: Epidemiology and cellular mechanisms” covers the topic in depth. Bottom line is, if you’re not […]

A recent study compared coffee to caffeine alone, decaf, and placebo, examining the impact on cortisol, testosterone, lactic acid and anaerobic performance, using a single-blind, counterbalanced, randomized and crossover study design. I have commented before on the fact that coffee and caffeine are not interchangeable terms, and this study supports that conclusion, with some additional twists to my linked article. […]

Posted on my FB page was this Q recently: “Will, can I add honey to my morning coffee and Alpha Joe? I read mixed opinions on honey, from those claiming it’s ‘just sugar’ to those claiming it’s a medical food that cures disease. I need your balanced no BS take on the topic!” – Jake F Jake asks an important […]

I’m going to start this write up sounding like a broken record, but creatine continues to amaze me with its long list of potential benefits in general health, anti aging, mood, and more, such as traumatic brain injuries (TBI). This new paper posits a possible benefit in Post-Viral Fatigue Syndromes (PVFS), which in a post Covid world, will be especially […]

Someone once said “there’s no sunshine without coffee.” I tend to agree. However, there’s a great deal more to understand regarding the effects of caffeine – the central nervous system stimulant most people associate with coffee – and its effects on mental acuity, performance, etc. In this article I’m going to cover what people really need to know about this […]

I often say “there’s no sunshine without coffee.” A recent meta-analysis looked at coffee, caffeine (which are not interchangeable topics BTW…) as well as tea, and depressive symptoms. They authors concluded “According to our findings, coffee and dietary caffeine may have a protective effect against the development of depression. However, no evidence suggesting a link between tea consumption and reduced […]

Chronic systemic inflammation (CSI) plays a role in a long list of diseases. I just did a seminar that goes into full details on that topic for those interested where I discuss how to test for it, address it/mitigate it, etc. For those who want details, view my talk. Two things I did mention in that seminar that studies suggests […]

This vid is from a recent talk I gave and covers the importance of inflammation, how to test for it, and how to address it. Chronic systemic inflammation (CSI) plays a an important role in most major diseases, finally starting to get the attention and traction it deserves, especially with cardio vascular disease! Intro 0:00 – 2:30 What is inflammation? […]

Below are three recent papers of interest that further support regular cocoa ingestion for health and possibly, performance, and why it’s a key ingredient in Alpha Joe Coffee Booster. We already have one study that studied coffee and cocoa together and found “… the combination of fatigue-fighting coffee and anxiety-reducing cocoa was the best combination for boosting attention span” or a study finding a 27% reduction in deaths from CVD as […]

This vid covers the easy way to know if you’re getting the legit German made creatine. Where/how to find Creapure and check if yours is legit. https://www.creapure.com/ Tests done and why I use/recommend Creapure: https://brinkzone.com/whats-in-your-creatine/ AlphaJoe Coffee Booster: https://alphajoecoffee.com/

I can see people saying “but Will, you have been singing the praises of creatine longer then anyone I know, now you tell us it’s all placebo effects!?” Not quite my friends as you will shortly learn. I have lamented as to why it makes little sense creatine should be in a pre workout product for the same reasons, and […]

Of the many potential benefits of creatine, that of an antioxidant is one of the more unexpected in my view, but studies over the decades suggest antioxidant properties. Precisely how creatine works as an antioxidant has not been fully elucidated, but a recent review paper via the J. Nutrients, does an excellent job of exploring the topic. It appears more […]

In this vid, I cover the potential benefits of chocolate and cocoa, using the article linked below the vid:

An important study just out found cocoa flavanol supplementation at just 500mg per day reduced CVD death by an astounding 27%. Oddly enough, it did not appear to impact other cardiovascular related events (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke, carotid artery disease, peripheral artery surgery, and unstable angina), but that may have been due to the population of the study (older adults […]

Recent articles on line have made a big deal out of the findings that caffeine can reduce cerebral blood flow (CBF). This is a topic that’s gotten traction lately and understandably, has resulted in questions and concerns regarding the wisdom and safety of daily coffee consumption. First, if the reader takes one thing away from this article, it’s that caffeine […]

Might sound a bit esoteric to some, but this is potentially a very big deal. Support for cellular energy and healthy mitochondria is well established with creatine, but actually increasing mitochondrial biogenesis in both muscle and cardiac tissue in response to exercise, is a major finding that needs to be reproduced in humans, but we already know humans can produce […]

Over the years I have kept close track of the studies on the various benefits of cocoa, the main ingredient in dark chocolate, and those benefits are extensive. Of course the magic in dark chocolate is the cocoa content, and cocoa is loaded with health promoting compounds, which I cover in more depth in the AlphaJoe/Bomb Proof Coffee write up, […]

Klotho protein is an enzyme that data suggests is tightly correlated with aging and a long list of age-related diseases best avoided, including diabetes, cancer, arteriosclerosis, chronic kidney disease and brain aging/dementia. The science and data of Klotho is emerging, but what exists is compelling. It also appears to be involved with controlling oxidative stress and inflammation. Basic summary is, […]

As if there were not enough benefits to regularly ingesting a quality cocoa source, recent data suggests improvements in bodycomp. The good news is, this was a in-vivo randomized human study.(1) The “bad news” is it was done with a very specific group of humans: Postmenopausal women. For some odd reason this lab is very focused on the effects of […]

To understand this one, we have to go back in time to the days of print magazines, when the ‘net was still in its infancy. Yes folks, there was a time when we only had the print magazines to read for our information on topics of interest. For those too young to remember, I wrote for pretty much all the […]

Dr. Udo Erasmus is viewed as a pioneer in the health and wellness industry. Dr. Erasmus and I go way back. In the early 90’s, I realized that while my knowledge and understanding of protein and carbohydrates was solid, my knowledge of fats, beyond the basic chemistry of lipids, was lacking. So, I went in search of a good source […]

The new name is  AlphaJoe Coffee Booster and can be purchased HERE.   In Part I of Bomb Proof Coffee, I cover what’s […]

After various delays, AlphaJoe (previously Bomb Proof Coffee) is now being offered in limited quantity HERE. For over 10 years, I have been using that formula and recommending it to others, now able to offer it as a single source product!

Among the many potential health and anti aging benefits of creatine, helping the immune system to fight cancer appears to be yet another benefit!

2021 update: A review paper just published examined the studies published on the various forms of creatine that at least have studies, and as expected, concluded as I did over a decade ago per below: Monohydrate is still the form to go with. The authors concluded: “Due to the paucity of studies on alternative forms of creatine as well as […]

  2021 Update: Not only can creatine literally save a child’s life (see below…), it may be of benefit to unborn babies as well as the mother. An important review paper just published examines the literature examining the role of creatine across the spectrum of topics such as  fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and  hypoxia-induced perinatal injury. The abstract is below as […]

I’m happy to report that there’s some great AlphaJoe Coffee Booster testimonials coming in from a diverse group, from IFBB pro female bodybuilders, to law enforcement, and military and more! Below is a sample, and people can view more at the YT Page. If you want first crack at the limited first run of AlphaJoe, please sign up to the […]

2020 Updates. Several papers and reviews of interest examining the data and possible mechanisms of how creatine is a potential benefit to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) as well as being generally neuro-protective worth reading: Potential for use of creatine supplementation following mild traumatic brain injury Another review just published – Beyond muscle: the effects of creatine supplementation on brain creatine, […]

For years people have been asking me […]

A few years ago, I read a Will Brink article on ‘Bomb Proof Coffee’ and was intrigued. I am a devout coffee drinker and its been said I drink two things, coffee and red wine. This is somewhat of an exaggeration because I do drink a fine port on occasion and have been known to drink some electrolyte / carbohydrate […]

It’s no secret I’m a big fan of coffee. It has a wide range of potential health benefits, and I don’t go a day without my Bomb Proof Coffee. The researchers examined whether there was an association between the consumption of coffee and both total and regional body fat (adiposity) levels. What they found was a significant correlation between the […]

Cocoa has a long list of potential benefits, some of which are covered in my Bomb Proof Coffee write up and other pages on this site. One study suggests cocoa helps fight the influenza virus by activating key aspects of the immune system and has a broad-spectrum antimicrobial and anti viral activity, and in this study, “…inhibitory effect on influenza […]

For close to a decade now, creatine has been an essential ingredient in my Bomb Proof Coffee recipe. Some would ask if the caffeine in the coffee would negate the benefits of the creatine as previously thought due to old = and debunked – data. I discussed that issue HERE for those who want to understand where it came from, […]

We know creatine has many potential heath and longevity benefits, with very few side effects, but are there any contraindications people need to be aware of? Find out here!

While coffee is associated with a long list of potential health benefits, some of which can be found linked in the Bomb Proof Coffee section of this site,  its possible impact on skeletal muscle hypertrophy has not been examined. This study was done in mice, so it’s actual utility and cross over to humans is unclear, but the mechanisms of […]

Creatine continues to demonstrate a wide range of potential benefits, but a recent study suggests it may have some value in weight loss. Scientists found that when they impaired creatine transportation into cells of mice, it blunted the metabolic effects the mice would normally have to a high fat diet (via thermogenesis), and when they fed the mice creatine, it […]

A new study adds additional scientific confirmation that combining Cocoa with coffee has numerous cognitive benefits over coffee alone. That’s a combination found in my Bomb Proof Coffee recipe I designed several years ago, and for some, yours truly included, if it’s not Bomb Proof Coffee, it’s just not coffee. For those who want the recipe, the science, etc go […]

I often take it for granted that everyone is aware that coffee is good for you, a true health promoting disease fighting nectar of the Gods. Let’s be clear early on: coffee is good for you, and within reason, more the better it appears. I have been talking about the various benefits of coffee for at least a decade now, […]

Update to this topic: a recent review of coconut oil posted below the vid is in line with my recs in this vid on coconut oil. One comment/correction I would make to that review below, It states: “…the clinical benefits of commercial MCT oils cannot be generalized to coconut oil.” All true, but would lead the reader to assume the […]

After my review of the popular coffee concoction making the rounds with generally unsupported claims, I was asked what would I recommend for a “bio active” coffee that really delivered as promised. The result is Bomb Proof Coffee. Part I covers what’s in Bomb Proof Coffee and why those ingredients used, and Part II covers how to make it, doses, […]
