Episode notes
Body's Natural Ketone Production
- Our bodies naturally produce ketones from fats when carbohydrate stores are low.
- The brain uses ketones as fuel because fatty acids cannot cross the blood-brain barrier.
Limits of Early Ketone Supplements
- Ketone salts and MCTs increase blood ketones only slightly, often insufficient for performance.
- Ketone esters spike blood ketones drastically but cause side effects like nausea and poor taste.
Ketone IQ's Pharmacological Advantage
- Ketone IQ contains only the butanediol part of the ketone ester, resulting in a smoother ketone release.
- This avoids blood acidification and cardiorespiratory stress seen with ketone esters.
