Ester cétonique

Ketone Ester (KE) is a synthetic exogenous ketone compound designed to rapidly elevate blood β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) levels without the need for dietary restriction or fasting.

It is chemically a monoester of R-3-hydroxybutyric acid and 1,3-butanediol, which upon ingestion is hydrolyzed in the gastrointestinal tract to release free BHB, providing an immediate and bioavailable source of ketone bodies.

As a metabolic fuel, ketone esters offer an alternative energy substrate to glucose, particularly for brain, cardiac, and skeletal muscle tissues. They are of increasing interest in sports nutrition, cognitive performance, metabolic therapy, and neurological health research.

Ketone Ester (R-BHB)

Fonction
