BHA Keto Powder

Beta hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is the first ketone body produced in a fasting state. It is commonly produced by the body
during periods without much food (glucose) in order to provide an alternative energy fuel source. Although it is not
technically a "ketone" (owing to the bonding structure), for the purposes of this post it is.

Although supplementation of beta hydroxybutyrate has been described as "jet fuel" and undesirable, modern
iterations of exogenous ketones are making it easier for anyone to utilize these ketone bodies for optimal brain
performance.

Diets that are low in carbohydrates and high in fatty acids can either prompt the body to produce ketone bodies,
such as beta hydroxybutyrate, or allow people to consume them exogenously (outside the body) instead. These
exogenous ketone supplements have grown in popularity along with the ketogenic diet and media attention from
popular icons such as Tim Ferriss and Dave Asprey.

Most of the evidence regarding beta hydroxybutyrate utilizes this exogenous ketone as a way to recovery from
memory damage or impairment or as a neuroprotective agent.

In one 2004 study of memory-impaired adults, beta hydroxybutyrate successfully aided in improving memory recall.
For Alzheimer's patients, using beta hydroxybutyrate is particularly helpful as a neuroprotective agent .

Many of the long-term and neuroprotective benefits of beta hydroxybutyrate are closely linked to reduced carbohydrate
and glucose consumption as well. For those who are consuming both exogenous ketones and eating glucose,
the benefits are known.

The benefits of beta hydroxybutyrate are not only for people who are currently experiencing nutritional ketosis.
Often it is possible for athletes to utilize ketone bodies as a fuel source to limit glycogen depletion.
