Functional coffee company Beforeyouspeak Coffee has released a thermogenic blend to fuel your day, Octane.

Octane includes single origin Colombian coffee, infused with high quality, evidence backed ingredients help improve focus and energy levels. Green tea extract, L-Carnitine, and MCT oil are part of the sugar, dairy, and gluten fre keto friendly blend.

For founders Jaryd Terkelsen and Ash Bisset, the idea behind Octane was formed years ago when they saw the need for a cost effective, time efficient healthy alternative that takes the guesswork and hassle out of vitamins consumption.

Bisset said: “After spending over 15 years in the health and wellness industry, we have a strong understanding of the types of vitamins, minerals and supplements people should be taking to get more out of their everyday lives. We knew that there were so many time-poor coffee addicts like us out there looking for options.”

Terkelsen said they’ve taken the guesswork out of living a healthy lifestyle by including keto friendly ingredients with focus, mood and energy enhancing benefits, all backed by science.

“While energy drinks have played a dominant role in the performance space, we wanted to create a healthy product that would help people get more from their daily routine - and what is more universal than a cup of coffee?” Terkelsen said.

Ingredients:

L-Carnitine is naturally produced within the body and is widely regarded for its ability to break down stubborn fat stores and convert them into energy.

MCT Oil is a high-quality source of medium chain triglycerides (good fats) combined with a prebiotic fibre that will help improve cognitive function and kick start fat metabolism, all while being friendly for your gut health.

Green Tea Extract has been shown to assist with fat metabolism, blood sugar management and appetite control to reduce that mid-morning hangry feeling.

Octane will be available to purchase on Beforeyouspeakcoffee.com from 25 February.

In news that is disappointing but not surprising given the recent reports on the unfolding Qenos saga, the new owner of Qenos has placed the company into voluntary administration. The closure of the Qenos Botany facility has also been confirmed.

An agreement struck between Cleanaway and Viva Energy will see the two companies undertake a prefeasibility assessment of a circular solution for soft plastics and other hard-to-recycle plastics.
