Just a self update - bought a Ketone Supplement a few ? days ago - Straight BHB 2.5g per serving, with a small sprinkling of B Vitamins. I found the easiest way to validate the product was eat a carb meal with exogenous ketones. I stayed in Ketosis.

how did you determine that your brain was actually still functioning off of Ketones and not glucose ?Originally Posted by Windex
how did you determine wither your liver was actually still producing Ketones, or wither you were just testing for ketones you just got a reading from which were just the exogenous ketones in your blood stream ?
I'd think that exogenous ketones can really only work IF your body (mainly your brain) is actually using them for energy . if your brain is not using them for energy, then your not really in ketosis even though you may be pissing out ketones (ie, getting rid of) on a ketone pee strip.
just a thought.. that your body has to actually utilize the supplement in order for that supplement to be effective.
ONE way to find out for sure . inject 20iu of insulin and eat NO carbs . if you pass out, go into a coma, die, etc.. then your brain was not using the ketones for fuel and was reliant on glucose . IF however after the injection and no carbs your going about just fine with no ill effects, then your really in ketosis and the supplement is feeding your brain Ketones for energy and not glucose
fun experiment eh

You may not be in metabolic ketosis, you just happen to show ketones because of consuming them exhaugenously. That is an important distinction because it’s a totally different metabolic state.
