Product Description
EXOGENOUS KETONE SUPPLEMENT
The low-carb/high-fat diet, also known as the ketogenic diet (Keto Diet), has seen many effective weight loss results. However, getting started can be tough. That’s what Keto-friendly supplements are for. Designed to help optimize the ketogenic diet, Keto supplements can help you get the head start you want.
THE PERFECT FIT FOR ANY LOW CARB LIFESTYLE
Nutricost has developed a premiere BHB Ketone Salts (4-in-1) supplement, a naturally-derived compound that mixes sodium, potassium, and calcium, with exogenous ketone Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB). Ketone Salts (4-in-1) are designed to provide a multitude of touted benefit. However, exogenous ketones seem to have the most benefit for those already in dietary ketosis. They are especially useful for already individuals in a caloric deficit diet, who train and perform at high levels and are looking for an additional energy source.
There are 3 different types of ketones: Beta-hydroxybutyrate, Acetoacetate, and Acetone. Beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate are the most abundant ketones, while acetone is produced in much smaller quantities, and excreted as waste from the body through respiration. Beta-hydroxybutyrate can also be converted via BHB dehydrogenase into Acetoacetic acid, and ultimately Acetoacetate. This makes Beta-hydroxybutyrate the most vital ketone. Ketone bodies are then utilized in the citric acid cycle to synthesize energy in the form of Adrenosine Triphosphate.
Nutricost uses calcium, sodium, magnesium, and potassium in their Ketone Salts (hence the 4-in-1). Each exogenous ketone is bound to these minerals. Any individual familiar with being in dietary ketosis knows the importance of consuming adequate electrolytes since it is much easier to become electrolyte imbalanced in the absence of carbohydrates.

The Good: They work pretty well. Three days into my keto diet I was completely exhausted and could barely move or think about anything other than cupcakes. I was in full carb flu/sugar withdrawal. To make matters worse, my husband and I were visiting my parents to help them build a brick patio, so I was trying to haul 80lb bags of mortar around their property and move bricks and generally do some physically intense stuff. These Ketone Salts arrived on day four (I ordered them to my parents house because I suspected I might need them) and I immediately took a half a scoop. I can't say that it works like spinach does for Popeye, but my brain did start to feel like it was functioning again within an hour or so, I stopped feeling like I was going to fall over at any minute, and the next day, after taking another 1/2 scoop in the morning, I was hauling bricks like my normal self, though I was still a bit tired. I continued to use the salts 1/2 scoop twice a day for another week to see me through the transition and it really helped.
I am not taking them every day now, but I do when I need a little extra oomph for something, and when I inevitably slip up and eat too many carbs, it will be nice to know I have them to keep me from slipping out of ketosis and going through the carb flu again.
Some background on why I decided to take these ketone salts: Years ago I experimented with eating a ketogenic diet to improve some of my health conditions, but unfortunately it didn't have a positive effect. In fact, over time, I actually started to feel worse. I have a poorly understood health condition and one hypothesis is that part of the issue is a defect in the glycolysis pathway (the pathway that results in energy production from carbohydrates). However, since I didn't have good results with a keto diet, it's very possible that my body also doesn't produce ketones efficiently.
Since I already know that I likely also have a defect in my ketone pathway, rather than attempt a failed experiment in the exact same way, I decided to do something different. This time, I would supplement the ketone salts directly (since supplementing with pyruvate is impossible). I bought urine ketone test strips as a way to collect some data about my ketone levels and I took meticulous notes throughout the process.
I tested my urine while still eating a relatively high level of carbs (before the experiment) to get a baseline. The strips showed a nonexistent level of ketones. The next day, on an empty stomach, I consumed ketone salts, followed by a keto lunch, snack and dinner. The afternoon and evening test strips showed moderate levels of ketones. The next two days I continued this protocol and the strips showed either a small (the third square) or a moderate (fourth square) level of ketones in my urine. After stopping the experiment and reverting to my regular diet, the levels slowly diminished, showing either trace or negative levels of ketones.
My protocol: On the first day, on empty stomach, I took 16g of ketone salts on an empty stomach. Within 30 minutes, there was a noticeable stimulation that lasted for a few hours, but then I ended up getting diarrhea. I have a particularly sensitive GI system and am prone to diarrhea, so others may not get this effect from this amount.
The next day I took half the amount (8grams) on empty stomach. The effect was milder but I didn't get diarrhea. Most importantly, when I attempted to perform some physical activity that would normally result in a flare up/crash, I felt ok.
I tried various strategies, and ultimately the most effective for me was to take the first 8 g dose on an empty stomach, followed by boosters of 4g shortly before lunch and dinner (on empty stomach). I ate keto meals for lunch and dinner. Overall, taking the ketones in this way allowed me to perform some physical activity without my typical crash (full body pain, headache, exhaustion, muscle soreness, etc...).
***You don't necessarily need to take this on an empty stomach, in fact, taking it with food is probably fine if you're goal is to transition into ketosis more quickly. Since I was not attempting to transition into ketosis (since I already know my body doesn't seem to produce ketones efficiently), I was taking the ketone salts as a way to directly give my body an energy source without it having to metabolize anything. For this purpose, taking it on an empty stomach seemed to make a huge difference in how I felt.
I have every reason to believe these Ketone salts are high quality. Nutricost is one of the few companies (and depending on the supplement, sometimes the only company) to produce their products in the US. Other companies typically produce in China, then print that the product is 'packaged' in the US. Since regulation in China is virtually nonexistent, I feel much safer consuming something made in the US. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. If you found this review helpful, consider leaving me feedback to know that the time I spent writing this review is appreciated.
