3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of current measuring techniques used to detect physiological ketone levels.
Exogenous ketone supplements in the form of beta-hydroxybutyrate can be utilized as an alternate energy source (in place of glucose) for all cells except red blood cells. Exogenous ketone administration has been shown to be beneficial in terms of reducing oxidative stress, improving neuronal energy supplies, and maintaining normal blood glucose levels. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects and safety of supplementing with exogenous ketones for 6-weeks in healthy college-aged males and females. The results of this proposed study will determine whether exogenous ketone supplementation can be useful in promoting better body composition, energy levels, and blood cholesterol, glucose, and insulin levels.
Assess the acceptability and tolerability of two different commercially available ketone supplements and determine their effects on capillary blood concentrations of the ketone beta-hydroxybutyrate and glucose in young adults.
