Have you heard of exogenous ketones and how they can help you?
With exogenous ketones, you can get into the Keto Zone quickly and easily, bypass any keto zone flu symptoms, and experience the brain and body benefits of ketosis starting today!
How?
Here’s everything you need to know about exogenous ketones and how to use them.
What are Ketones?
Ketones, or ketone bodies, are molecules made in the liver. They are produced in response to a state of fasting or very low carbohydrate intake. They can also be produced after ingesting medium chain triglycerides.
These ketones, made by the liver in your body, are called endogenous ketones.
Ketones made outside your body, and taken as a supplement, are called exogenous ketones.
What Are Exogenous Ketones?
Exogenous ketones can be ingested like a supplement, and mimic endogenous ketones inside the body.
They are formulated as ketone salts or ketone esters. The ketone used in the supplements is called BHB, or beta-hydroxybutyrate. This is the same ketone produced in our bodies when we enter nutritional ketosis.
Exogenous ketones can provide a myriad of benefits, especially to those eating a Keto Zone diet. These include:
- Very quick entrance into ketosis, helping you bypass the “ketone flu” and feel great while decreasing carbohydrates in the diet
- A quick return to ketosis after ingesting carbohydrates
- Metabolism support and reduced appetite as the body burns fats instead of carbohydrates (1)
- Improved mental clarity and focus as the brain uses ketones
- Boosts in overall energy and athletic performance, even for those not following a ketogenic diet (2)
- Reduced muscle breakdown and fatigue during workouts
- Reduced oxidative stress and improved cell aging (3)
Of course, if you do not follow a Keto Diet, the effects of the exogenous ketones will be short-lived and not last. And, taking exogenous ketones is not at all the same as being on a Keto Zone diet. They are simply a supplement, created to be taken alongside your diet.
How Do Exogenous Ketones Work?
When you supplement with exogenous ketones, your blood ketone levels will rise – just like it would in a state of nutritional ketosis. This rise in ketone typically takes place within an hour or so, and sometimes up to 24 hours, depending on the product. The effect is even quicker and more pronounced when taken alongside medium chain triglycerides.
Exogenous Ketones and Weight Loss
Exogenous Ketones can help you achieve ketosis, which promotes weight loss very effectively. They also reduce appetite and improve metabolism by promoting fat burn by the body.
When adding exogenous ketones to the Keto Zone diet, you will have a very efficient and effective weight combination.
Types of Exogenous Ketone Supplements
There are many different forms of exogenous ketones supplements:
- Ready-to-drink liquids: Some exogenous ketone supplements are already in liquid form, ready to drink. While convenient, the main downside to this is they are very expensive and have a bad taste. Often, these provide 12-25 grams of BHB per servings.
- Pills and capsules: You can now also find BHB pills and capsules. Again, these are convenient, and they do not have the bad taste associated with exogenous ketones. However, like many supplemental pills (compared to powders), they contain very little of the actual compound, BHB. Typically, a dose ranges from 0.5 grams to 1 gram.
- Powders: The most cost-effective and dose-effective form is powder. Many Exogenous Ketone Powders provide 12 grams BHB per serving. If “plain,” they still typically have a harsh taste. But, great-tasting flavored powders are easy to take. Of course, it’s important to make sure the added flavors are from healthy sources.
The Exogenous Ketone Taste Factor
One of the biggest barriers to ingesting exogenous ketones is a very strong, bitter taste. The taste is due to the salt to which they are bound. These salts allow the ketones to be dissolved into a liquid. Left alone, they certainly have a strong taste.
However, when great-tasting, healthy ingredients are added to the powder, they become much more palatable.
For, example, with Keto Zone’s Instant Exogenous Ketones, you can get all the great benefits and a good taste.
Keto Zone’s Instant Exogenous Ketones
Keto Zone’s Instant Exogenous Ketones have been formulated to enable users to enter nutritional ketosis, the Keto Zone, in less than one hour.
Its Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) ketones are combined with mineral salt electrolytes made of magnesium, calcium, and sodium. This gives the body much-needed electrolytes while entering ketosis.
It also utilizes the best ingredients to improve ketone taste. The limeade flavor is easily mixed with water, smoothies and more, making it a great addition to daily Keto Zone living.
Bottom Line
Exogenous ketones are a great supplement for both those in the Keto Zone and not. They offer many benefits for daily energy, health, athletic performance, weight loss, metabolism and more. When formulated with great ingredients, such as Keto Zone’s Instant Exogenous Ketones, they are easy to ingest and can be a part of the daily Keto Zone routine.
