INFORMATION ON EXOGENOUS KETONES (ß-HYDROXYBUTYRATE)
Ketone bodies are molecules naturally synthesised from fatty-acids in the liver. Ketogenesis is usually triggered through exercise, calorie restriction, fasting and ketogenic diets. Ketones are used by the body as energy source, particularly in the absence/scarcity of glucose, and can cross the blood-brain-barrier to serve as fuel for the brain.
TAILORBLEND's exogenous ketone blend consist of the sodium, calcium and magnesium salts of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) in the ratio 4:3:2. The ratio ensures that the Na, Ca and Mg minerals are balanced and in the same elemental ratio as the RDA your body needs.
