What Are Ketones and Where Do They Come From?
Ketone Salts Explained
Ketone salts are the first product on the market to the public to contain the actual ketone betahydroxybutyrate combined with sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium and can be combined with liquid to make an energy drink. They were developed at University of South Florida and the Pruvit company is the leader in formulating new products and educating the masses on ketones and what they do at their Ketokademy events.

Using Ketone Salts in the Elderly and People with Medical Conditions
Ketone salts can have great effects but people with chronic medical conditions and people who are elderly need to be aware that blood sugar will likely drop, so should be monitored by people with diabetes. There can be large water loss from muscles as well as loss of sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium in early weeks while starting these so it is important to stay well-hydrated and keep electrolytes in balance. This article explains more and is written so that people can share this with their physician to guide on what to watch for and how to avoid these and other problems.
It is very important to take non-racemic ketone salts, as this is nearly 100% of the most bioactive form of betahydroxybutyrate(BHB). Most companies selling ketones salts use a 50/50 mixture of the two forms, called racemic salts, which are not as effective and may hit unintended targets. These racemic salts may be less expensive but also less effective. At present the only company selling non-racemic (most effective form) BHB salts is Pruvit – all of their products are non-racemic.
Ketone Esters: What, Why and How
Ketone esters became available to the public in early 2018 and can result in instant ketosis within 30 minutes at ketone levels much higher than with ketone salts or MCT and coconut oil when larger doses are taken. This article explains in detail information about what the ketone ester is, what effects may occur, potential issues and how to avoid them. This is written to educate the public but also physicians on what to monitor in people who are elderly or have chronic medical conditions such as diabetes. KetoneAid Kenetik (almost ester)
Veech Ketone Ester Safe for General Public – 28-day study (New October 2019)
Summary: More than 2000 doses of the R-3-hydroxybutyl/R-3-hydroxybutyrate Veech ketone ester were given over 28 days to 24 volunteers ages 19 to 70 at large doses of 25 grams three times per day. There were only a few mild adverse events in 2,016 drinks – 6 reported nausea for one dose, 3 reported mild headache, 1 reported diarrhea, and 1 reported abdominal discomfort. This is a very large dose three times a day, comparable to what my husband Steve took for several years. Many people with Alzheimer’s and other memory impairment are reporting good response to much lower doses – for some, this is 10 ml (1 levels teaspoons, which is 5 grams of ketone BHB for KetoneAid) once or twice a day. Many people report better sleep with just 2 to 5 ml (1/2 to 1 teaspoon).
