Hi im interested in this as weight loss support. Bring diabetic type 2 and on meds it's v hard to get into ketosis. The meds tend to prevent it even when on v lo carb diet. So good to know whether hvmn ketone can accelerate into ketosis with metformin and empaglifoxin. Would be interested to try.

This is interesting but I think they have to be very careful about how it is marketed, because "Keto" seems to be very misunderstood and a bit of a buzzword.
Consider this a specialized supplement for ELITE athletes to increase performance and endurance. Curious if this would even be considered doping in the sports world. While it may be the best ketone supplement on the market, it doesn't mean that any of you need ketone supplementation at all. Expensive, too.
Maybe some day your doctor will prescribe this to you for the therapeutic effects of ketones, but again that's a specialized use.
For 99.99% of the population, either take caffeine/pre-workout/creatine or try ketosis through dietary carbohydrate restriction (Keto diet).
I lift, and I'm not interested. However, Keto diet itself can be great for fat loss and cutting, or as a long term diet. This supplement is not going to help you lose fat from obesity and inactivity.

My question is whether you created/researched this ester yourself or if you are just licensing it from TΔS?
Report
This is the GRAS exemption filed by TΔS https://www.fda.gov/downloads/Fo...
"TΔS intends to use D-β-hydroxybutyrate ester in beverages, bars, and gels. The ketone ester was generally well tolerated, although some gastrointestinal effects were reported at the highest dose tested. The taste of D-β-hydroxybutyrate ester is bitter and sharp." All interesting to know about this compound.
@tombielecki Yes, HVMN Ketone contains ΔG from TΔS (the Univ. of Oxford technology transfer company). They're a phenomenal partner, and we're the exclusive commercialization partner. The ester is covered by a family of patents, so in effect, HVMN Ketone is the one and only ketone ester drink out there.
@tombielecki Thanks for sharing! Yes, FDA recognizes HVMN Ketone as a generally regarded as safe food. To your other point - the flavor was admittedly acrid back in the early production samples, but we've taken a couple measures to mitigate. First, the production ketone is pure ketone ester, eliminating the foul-tasting anomalies of the early pre-production batches. On top of that, we put significant R&D into optimizing flavor & preserving freshness, and are happy with where things landed! The taste still does have a bitter kick to it, but nothing too crazy.
Awesome, I will have to try this out. I am currently using the Pruvit KETO OS stuff, and it works well, especially when you maintain a nutritional ketosis. Flavor will be key!

Hi, I've done some self-experimentation with ketone esters and was wondering how you are factoring in things like body weight, how keto-adapted vs. carb-adapted someone is, fitness level, etc. in order to determine proper serving size?

I've been pushing myself to regain my fitness using the indoor rowing machine and would be very keen to try this out to see if it has any discernable performance improvements (UK based). Also would be eager to find out if this passes current WADA doping laws, particularly in the context of competing in the British indoor rowing championships next month.

How is this different/better than standard raspberry ketone supplements?

Am I right in assuming that a user of this product would only benefit from it if they were eating well and low carb? So it's an enhancer, not a quick fix - right?
