KetoneAid Ke4 Ketone Ester Concentrate | Not a Ketone Salt, No Sugar, No Caffeine | Exogenous D-BHB Ester | 12 Serving Per Bottle (1 Count)

#1 it works. #2 The CEO, Frank LLosa is accessible to customers via phone or Facebook (KetoneAid), and he is a no BS (honest and knowledgeable) professional. I have called him several times with questions. So yeah, customer service is second to none. #3 I have consumed 6 KE4 bottles to date (with many more to go) in support of both standard of care, and non-standard of care medical protocols (for mRNA signalling benefits and normal cell protective) reasons (NOT diet weight-loss and NOT physical athletic performance). KE4 has always delivered measurable results as advertised and expected (I measure Ketones/Glucose with a KetoMojo meter). I am normally Ketogenic, and KE4 is there for me when my Ketone levels fall off due to various reasons. My limited research and understanding on KE4: KE4 Converts directly into usable chemical energy also supporting various cell signalling (as per a growing volumes of animal and Human N=1 research -- which shows Ketones protect cells, supports OxPhos energy metabolism, and enables medical protocols designed to suppress normal cell glycolytic pathway functions leading to pyruvate/lactate production). KE4 (BHB) also supports improved cognition as-well-as motor function (why most people take it). Taste: It tastes like a chemical fuel. I personally don't have an issue with the taste, but I can understand why babies, girls, and girly men would. Its really not that bad -- but I'm not using it casually as a diet aid either. If you consume KE4 subliminally (hold it in your mouth and under the tongue for an extended time, before swallowing) it should get absorbed faster into the blood for immediate use. Price: While it appears the price is high, it is very reasonable for what it actually is (non-racemic ester) and for what it does (converts directly into AcetylCOA). First, its 100% bio-available -- 100% -- (not 50% or less-- like many/most BHB-Salt based products). Second, BHB ester has been the chemical gold standard for some time -- used in research labs only -- it was unavailable commercially -- and it was price prohibitive: priced in the thousands of dollars just over a year or so ago. KE4 is the real deal, now available commercially for NOT thousands of dollars. Most folks just don't get this. How does KE4 provide 100% bio-available instant ketones? My understanding (and I am not a chemist): I believe this to be an enantiomerically pure ketone ester (non-racemic). (just google it) Racemic BHB products have a left and right side molecule -- thus providing 50% or less available BHB for direct utilization. In other words, KE4 BHB Ester is fully bio-available, so you are receiving full value for the price. You can meter the amount you need for whatever your purpose is. KetoneAid even gives you a little measuring tube with the three container pack. With other racemic BHB-Salt products (right and left hand molecules) only one half (or less) of the ketones are bioavailable. How does KE4 BHB Esters work? This is very important for my personal medical (non-diet/non-athletic performance) application: I believe KE4 is a organic BHB (beta-hydroxy-buterate) ester and it is NOT related to a salt. In the body the liver (primarily) creates ketone bodies as needed (fasted state): Acetoacetic Acid, BHB, and acetone. The energy in our body at the cellular level is ATP. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) powers all mechanical and nerve functions in the body. ATP production (creation) by key organelles (called Mitochondria), found in most cells requires a fundamental chemical building block (Acetyl-CoA) to be available in order for the oxygen phosphorylation chemical process to occur, thus efficiently generating ATP. The free availability of AcetylCOA is also an important signalling state, which is key for my condition, but I will not explain that mechanism in detail here. BHB freely converts to AcetylCOA with Acetoacetate, supporting the mitochondrial production of ATP via the citric acid cycle (Krebs Cycle). KE4 is an ester, so its presents within the body converts directly to usable energy in various tissues. Because BHB esters also pass the blood-brain barrier they will be utilized for energy by the brain (the largest consumer of energy in the body). The down sides of KE4: Because KE4 is not a salt (calcium, potassium, magnesium) it doesn't supplement these electrolytes if your in a fasted state. Having said that, of the 60ml in each small container, 30ml is BHB and 30ml contains beneficial supplementation like Taurine (calcium modulator and anti-oxidant) for cardio support, etc.

Honestly I started taking this stuff after researching TBIs and recovery. I had brain fog post concussions and a few physical injuries to recover from. PT wasn’t doing it for me so I took matters into my own hands. I’m a few years into the story, so this is a couple of years worth of review. It depends on when I take KE4 whether I feel the effects immediately or realize afterwards how much it helped. If I take it first thing in the morning, I can feel my brain kick in and I’m ready to be “On It!” for work much like what coffee promised me but doesn’t seem to deliver as consistently. If I take it before my workout in the evening I don’t feel the gears kicking in like in the morning, but I can push through more of my workout or lift more weight (go one set up in dumbbells or finish a set I didn’t think I had in me). That’s where the gains are, just getting that little bit more in. This isn’t anything like steroids or even a stimulant pre-workout. It’s subtle, but with consistent use, especially combined with electrolytes and creatine, you do get some pretty incredible results - both physical and neurological. Other things I’ve noticed are when I take KE4 with electrolytes (my LMNT powder) I can either ease or get rid of migraines, and a capful seems to help me get better quality sleep. I don’t understand how something can help me sleep, ease a headache, but also help with turning my brain on and getting results in the gym. I’m happy to continue getting these kinds of results. Since the TBIs and the physical injuries, I got into the keto diet as well. This stuff helps to amplify the effects of the diet when my body gets a little too adapted and efficient with the diet alone. The only thing I dislike about it is the taste. I’ve never been a fan of cherry but I will gladly down a cherry flavored capful or two for those kinds of results.

I am a bit surprised but I think this works kinda well. I’m not even really doing much different in my life, maybe trying to eat less but I’m not on any particular kind of diet. I bought one of these and used 1-2 capfuls a day and it seems like my weight went down about 3 lbs in about a week or two. So it’s worth a try. It tastes not half bad, the formula change wa a good idea. Only thing is, it does make me feel a bit off. I guess they call that “ketone flu” or something, and it’s a real thing. I think if you stick with it supposedly you get past that. So I’m taking one star off from feeling woozy but overall this is great and seems to work better than I expected.

Great product
