Science

According to a 2019 study, which analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), approximately 88% of American adults are considered metabolically unhealthy, meaning they exhibit at least one feature of metabolic syndrome, such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, or excess abdominal fat.  

How do Ketones and KETONENRG Work? 

The science around the benefits of increasing blood ketones is growing fast. Ketones, specifically in the optimal range of 1.0–2.5 mmol/L, are shown to improve brain function, physical performance, and overall health. You can increase ketone levels by fasting or strenuous exercise. A ketogenic or low-carb diet can also be used to increase blood ketones. KETONENRG provides a simple, efficient way to raise your blood ketones into this effective range, for up to 6 hours without restrictive dieting. Depending on your situation, pairing this supplement with intermittent fasting or a low carb diet may help you enjoy the benefits of ketones more fully and consistently.   

Here’s how Ketones Work and What Benefits They Bring: 

1. Brainpower and Focus: Your brain is like the engine of your body—it needs lots of energy. Normally, it runs on glucose (sugar), but some brain cells can become insulin resistant and not function as well. Ketones are a cleaner and more efficient fuel that your brain readily uses. Research shows: 

  • Ketones generate 28% more energy per gram than glucose, meaning your brain is energized better. Not only your brain, but every organ of your body. 
  • Ketones can supply up to 80% of your brain's energy needs (even when glucose is available), improving focus and mental clarity.
  • Ketones help with stress and anxiety by supporting GABA, the brain's calming neurotransmitter.   

2. Physical Performance: Athletes use ketones as an additional energy source during exercise. When combined with carbs (duel-fuel), ketones: 

  • Boost endurance and improve recovery times.
  • Stimulate red blood cell production, helping muscles get more oxygen.
  • Reduce fatigue and oxidative stress as a clean fuel source.
  • Improve cognitive performance which leads to improved physical performance.  

3. Metabolic Health and Appetite Control: Ketones help stabilize blood sugar and reduce inflammation, making them beneficial for people with insulin resistance or diabetes. Plus, they naturally suppress hunger by lowering the “hunger hormone,” ghrelin, making it easier to stick to a healthy diet. 

4. Longevity and Brain Health: Ketones protect against aging and brain-related conditions: 

  • They may delay Alzheimer's disease and improve cognitive function.
  • Ketones promote brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which helps with memory and learning.
  • Ketone bodies change brain metabolism where energy from glucose is insufficient or dysfunctional.
  • They can also improve recovery after brain injuries and can reduce seizure frequency. 

KETONENRG products are built for those who want a clean, consistent source of energy. 

(R)-1, 3 butanediol is a natural plant-based ketone precursor derived from non-GMO sugar fermentation that your body fully converts into BHB. This material has gone through many human clinical studies and found to be safe and effective at increasing BHB ketone levels. Some bhb salt vendors claim this material is unsafe, pointing to animal studies where this material was administered in extremely high doses(10X our daily recommendation.) Animal metabolism differs significantly from humans. There are no human studies that support these claims, however it is always prudent to monitor individual responses and consult with healthcare professionals when introducing new supplements or changing your diet. 

Here’s how our products work: 

  • Steady, Long-Lasting Energy: Experience this high-tech Ketone fuel source that delivers consistent energy, and sustains both body and brain. Can elevate BHB levels for up to 6 hours depending on your activity level, fewer hours if exercising heavily. 
  • Enhanced Cognitive Function:  The brain readily uses ketones as fuel, which can improve mental clarity, focus, and concentration. Ketones also help support the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which plays a role in memory and cognitive resilience.  
  • Supports Metabolic Health: Ketones in the blood can help regulate blood sugar and insulin levels by providing an alternative to glucose, which can be especially beneficial for those looking to improve metabolic flexibility or manage weight. Supports intermittent fasting and accelerating transition into ketosis, tapping into your body’s natural fat reserves for energy, promoting a healthy metabolism and steady performance. 
  • Appetite Control: Ketones may have appetite suppressing effects, helping to reduce hunger and cravings between meals by providing a steady energy source.  
  • Physical Performance: Ketones provide a readily available fuel source that can enhance performance and support muscle recovery, helping athletes or active individuals maintain stamina and recover faster.

What are the differences between various Ketone Supplements?

D-Betahydroxybutyric Acid (D-BHB): Free Acid or Bio-identical 

What it is:
D-BHB is the primary ketone naturally produced by your body during ketosis.

Pros:

✔ Can be combined with other ketones to help increase BHB in the blood.

Cons:

✘ Pure D-BHB is acidic and difficult to ingest in significant amounts without causing discomfort.
✘ Pure D-BHB is metabolized very quickly with effects fading fast.

Ketone Salts

What they are:
D-BHB bound to minerals like sodium, magnesium, or calcium.

Pros:

✔ Simple and affordable.

Cons:

✘ Metabolized quickly, leading to short-lived benefits.
✘ Difficult to consume enough to see a significant effect.
✘ Many supplements contain both active (D-BHB) and inactive (L-BHB) forms, reducing potency.

Ketone Esters

What they are:
Molecules combining D-BHB with precursors like 1,3-Butanediol in an ester bond.

Pros:

✔ Effective at raising blood ketone levels.
✔ Used for high-performance tasks and research applications.

Cons:

✘ Expensive to produce, making them less accessible.
✘ Can taste unpleasant and may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
✘ May cause high spikes in blood ketones, which can be suboptimal for sustained performance.

MCT Oil as a Ketone Precursor

What it is:
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are fats that the liver converts into ketones.

Pros:

✔ A natural way to boost ketone production without following a strict ketogenic diet.
✔ Can be used alongside other ketone supplements for enhanced effects.

Cons:

✘ Difficult to consume enough to significantly raise BHB levels.
✘ Less effective at increasing blood ketones compared to Butanediol.

(R)-1,3-Butanediol as a Ketone Precursor

What it is:
A precursor that the body converts fully into D-BHB after ingestion.

Pros:

✔Water soluble and easy to consume in effective, therapeutic amounts.

✔Metabolized slowly, providing a stable and prolonged elevation in blood ketone levels (1.0–2.5 mmol/L).

✔ Ideal for sustained energy and mental focus.
