Description

Ketone Ester (R-BHB) is a type of exogenous ketone, meaning it is a ketone body introduced into the body from an external source, as opposed to being produced internally through the metabolic process of ketosis. Ketones are organic compounds that serve as an alternative energy source to glucose. They are particularly beneficial during periods of low carbohydrate intake, fasting, or intense exercise.

R-BHB stands out because it is the naturally occurring form of beta-hydroxybutyrate, one of the primary ketone bodies produced by the liver during ketosis. Unlike other forms of exogenous ketones, R-BHB is more bioavailable and efficient, meaning the body can utilize it more effectively for energy.

When you consume R-BHB, it rapidly elevates the levels of ketones in your bloodstream, mimicking the state of ketosis without the need for a strict ketogenic diet. This can provide a quick and sustained source of energy for both the brain and muscles. Research has shown that R-BHB can cross the blood-brain barrier, offering cognitive benefits such as improved focus, mental clarity, and reduced brain fog.
