Ketone Ester Science with Professor Kieran Clarke - Ep. #46

Bob and Dina meet with University of Oxford Professor Kieran Clarke to discuss the science of ketone esters. You’ll learn why and how the supplemental form of ketone esters provide many health and athletic performance benefits, in addition to better understanding the key differences between the various products now available on the market. This is definitely a supplement worth considering, but you’ll want to learn what makes the deltaG products the most effective of all of them on the market.
We discuss:

How Professor Clarke became a pioneer in ketone ester research
What ketone esters are, how they are made in the body, which ketone to measure
Differences between ketone esters, salts, butanediol, MCTs and why the form and source matter when you are taking supplemental ketones
The level of ketones in the blood that is optimal
Ketones as an energy source in the mitochondria vs. serving as a signaling molecule
The benefits of ketone ester supplementation without needing to do the ketogenic diet
Why to ingest both carbs and ketone esters pre-exercise and what kind of carb may work best for steady fuel and energy
Benefits of ketone ester for athletic performance & recovery, focus and cognition, hunger control, sleep quality, and head/brain trauma
What we know about ketone esters in the aging population, youth athletes, and menopause
How ketone esters are synergistic with caffeine
