Abstract
Acute increases in blood beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) temporarily reduce blood glucose but therapeutic application has been limited due to the need for ketone infusion or severe dietary restriction. Recently developed exogenous ketone monoester supplements allow to acutely raise blood BHB without the need for other nutritional modifications or invasive procedures. However, unpleasant taste and the potential for gastrointestinal discomfort make adherence to a supplement regimen challenging. Two novel ketone supplements have been developed that promise an improved consumer experience but differ in their chemical properties; it is currently unknown how these affect blood BHB and blood glucose compared to the original ketone monoester supplement.
