Keep this in your keto arsenal!
There are different types of exogenous ketone supplements available and this one is really great for the price. In the hierarchy of exogenous ketone efficacy and price, there are raspberry ketones, ketone salts, and pure ketones. This is a ketone salt, so it works quickly, there are fewer side effects (e.g. diarrhoea), and it tastes good - and this one tastes fantastic!
I've been using a ketogenic diet for 15 years or more and I do intermittent fasting and this supplement is great for my jiujitsu practice. I was able to get a little boost my fasted state, which I like to work out in, with extra ketones, and it was noticeable in a short period of time after consuming. I took one scoop before my workout and then one hour later another half scoop. This subjectively increased my energy levels to deal with the 2 hours of battling with my training partners. When I might have been a bit more tired after my workout, I felt great and didn't have desire to eat after my workout, which is unique as well. This tells me that I had all the fuel I needed and even in excess of what I had available to me.
For those people who don't use a ketogenic diet, this supplement can be used to see what it feels like to have ketones available for use in abundance. It's also great to use this supplement to aid in prevention of the "keto flu" when inducting into and adapting to ketosis as your full-time state. The extra ketones help out by telling your body's cell powerhouses (your mitochondria) to make more receptors for ketones. This way, in the future months, you can utilize all your own ketones really efficiently - and even feel that power boost from exogenous ketones!
TLDR: tastes great, works very well, affordable, very useful for hard workouts, people using ketogenic diets, and ketogenic induction.
