Beyond caffeine: antioxidants, ketones and the power of functional coffee

Coffee is, for millions of people, the ritual that marks the start of each day. But to reduce it to "a shot of caffeine" is to remain on the surface. Not all coffee is the same: the quality of the bean, the roast and the way it is made determine not only its taste, but also its impact on health. At Alternativa3 we have been demonstrating for years that coffee can be much more than just quick energy: it can be a source of antioxidants, wellness and sustainability.

Antioxidants and polyphenols: coffee's natural defences

You may not know this, but quality coffee is one of the main sources of antioxidants in the daily diet. These compounds, known as polyphenolsThey help protect our cells against oxidative damage and are linked to benefits such as anti-aging and disease prevention.

The secret is in the roasting. While high roasts destroy a large part of these compounds, at Alternativa3 we apply a medium-low roast, which preserves its properties and keeps the bean's aromatic profile intact. The result is a coffee that not only awakens the senses, but also takes care of you.

Acrylamides: an invisible risk that not everyone controls

When people talk about healthy coffee, a key issue is rarely mentioned: the acrylamides. These substances are naturally generated during roasting, and their levels can vary greatly depending on the process.

At Alternativa3 we have made acrylamide reduction a priority. Our coffees guarantee very low levelsthanks to rigorous roasting control and the selection of top quality beans. So you can enjoy your daily cup with the peace of mind that you are consuming a product that respects your health.

Ketones and MCTs: clean and sustained energy

Alternativa3's Keto coffee goes one step further. Thanks to an innovative process, we have succeeded in integrating the MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) directly in the coffee bean. These oils, present in foods such as coconut, are rapidly transformed into ketonesa clean, stable source of energy with anti-inflammatory effects.

The difference is striking: a drink creamy, smooth and not oily at all, which combines the antioxidant power of coffee with the metabolic benefits of ketones. Perfect for those seeking mental clarity, vitality and an extra boost to their day-to-day life.

More than coffee: organic, fair and pioneering

If there is one thing that defines us at Alternativa3, it is our holistic vision. It's not just about health, but also about coherence with the planet and with people. That's why all our coffees are ecological and fair trade, supporting small-scale producers in the Global South and ensuring environmentally friendly agricultural practices.

Keto coffee is the best example of what it means to innovate with a purpose: to unite personal wellbeing, environmental sustainability and social justice in a single cup.

A different kind of coffee for a conscious lifestyle

Every cup counts. It's not just about waking up, it's about how we choose to take care of ourselves and what we support with our consumption. A coffee can be just caffeine... or it can become an experience that brings people together. health, taste and sustainability.

Alternativa3's Keto coffee is born from this idea: to offer a delicious, creamy drink, full of benefits, that respects both those who enjoy it and those who grow it. Because the future of coffee is not more haste, but more awareness.
