What is Beta Hydroxybutyrate (BHB)?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beta Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is a ketone that is produced by your liver naturally, and produced at an enhanced rate during dieting, fasting, hard exercise or when on a Ketogenic diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it is produced naturally it can be taken as a supplement in the form of BHB Salts. An expert on BHB is Dr Peter Attia, he is a world famous ultra-endurance athlete. He is also the go to source if you want to learn from for anything related to longevity or top athletic performance. Here is his first-hand experience with synthetic ketones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe first one I tried was the beta-hydroxybutyrate I chugged it, and I remember it was like 6:00<\/span> in the morning, because my wife was still sleeping. First of all, you drink it, and it tasted like how I imagine jet fuel or diesel would taste. If you\u2019ve ever smelled distillate, it\u2019s this horrible odor, and you can sort of imagine what it would taste like. This is what it tasted like, and so my first thought was, \u2018Goddamn, what if I go blind? What if there\u2019s methanol in here? What did I just do?\u2019 And then my next thought was just, \u2018Oh my god, you\u2019re gagging. I mean, you\u2019re really gagging. If you puke this stuff up, you\u2019re gonna have to lick up your puke. It\u2019s just gonna be a disaster.\u2019 And so I\u2019m retching and gagging and trying not to wake up the family and trying not to spew my ketone esters all over the kitchen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it tastes like this, what could possibly make an otherwise intelligent person want to try it? The reason is because although preliminary, the known benefits of Beta Hydroxybutyrate as a supplement are impressive. Thankfully unlike Dr. Attia, we don\u2019t have to take BHB as a liquid ester anymore as BHB salts now exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of reasons to get excited about BHB Salts a supplement:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. BHB is a likely candidate in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairment.<\/li>
  2. BHB provides energy for the brain for thinking or repairing damage from trauma.<\/li>
  3. BHB may help reduce epileptic seizures.<\/li>
  4. BHB is neuroprotective, and gets to the brain even when taken orally.<\/li>
  5. BHB induces BDNF gene expression in brain cells.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    There are a few reasons not to get excited about BHB Salts as a supplement:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. BHB tastes terrible (imagine a mix of nail polish remover and rocket fuel)<\/li>
    2. BHB supplementation has not been rigorously studied in long term human trials.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      BHB Salts Benefits and Uses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      People have long practiced fasting, calorie restriction, high level exercise and more recently a Ketogenic diet to get the benefit of having their body produce more BHB. Taking BHB as a supplement (sometime called exogenous ketones) is said to have the following benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
