What does it look like?

  • Ketone supplements are available in three different forms.
    • Ketone salts (sodium, magnesium or calcium salts of the ßHB).
    • 1-3- Butanediol (precursor to ßHB).
    • Ketone esters.
      • The ketone mono-ester [®-3-hydroxybutyl (R)-3-hydroxy-butyrate) developed as DeltaG at Oxford University is now commercialised as HVMN Ketone Ester.
      • Patents for di-esters have been established but are only involved in clinical research.
  • Some manufactured ketone supplements contain a racemic mixture (i.e. equal parts D- and L- stereoisomers) of ßHB. Only the D-isomer (R-ßHB) is considered to have high metabolic activity.
