Benefits of Exogenous Ketones for Cognitive and Athletic Performance
Exogenous ketones, such as Ketone IQ, can be used to enhance cognitive and athletic performance. The research lead at HVMN, Lat Mansour, discusses the benefits of exogenous ketones for various purposes. He explains that ketones have been studied extensively in endurance exercise, showing both improvement and non-improvement in performance depending on the protocol. Moreover, ketones have been found to lower blood glucose levels, making them beneficial for individuals who are metabolically unhealthy or prediabetic. Ketones also have potential benefits for brain health, as they can increase brain network stability and may help with traumatic brain injury. The optimal dose for ketones is recommended to be between 1 to 2.5 millimolar. It's important to note that individual responses to ketones may vary, and a personalized approach is needed to determine the ideal balance of carbohydrates and exogenous ketones for each person's specific goals and needs.
