Ketone Ester senwayer

There is a lot of talk about Ketone Esters. Esters fall under the category of exogenous ketones along with ketone salts. These are substances that contain ketones and lead to the state of ketosis. However, esters differ from ketone salts since they’re formed by binding an alcohol molecule to a ketone body. Salts are bound to Sodium, Potassium or Calcium.

Not being bound to salt means Esters can contain more Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB). BHB is one of the three ketones bodies that we produce. It is present in greater quantities than other ketone bodies, and is the main ketone based fuel source. This means that Esters can increase ketone levels more than ketone salts.

As a result, they are sparking interest in people looking into potential health and performance benefits of ketones.
