On the Metabolism of Exogenous Ketones in Humans
Traditionally, ketosis has been achieved by following a “ketogenic” diet, but an alternative way to increase blood D-β-hydroxybutyrate (D-βHB) concentrations is ketone drinks, which effectively raise blood ketone concentrations.

A Ketone Ester Drink Lowers Human Ghrelin and Appetite
The ketones D-β-hydroxybutyrate (D-βHB) and acetoacetate are elevated during prolonged fast-
ing or during a ketogenic diet. An exogenous ketone ester suppresses the appetite hormone ghrelin and lowers perceived hunger and desire to eat.

Ketogenic Diet Reduces Midlife Mortality and Improves Memory in Aging Mice
Ketogenic diets (KD) may have similar metabolic effects to dietary caloric restriction. A cyclic KD improves midlife survival and memory performance in aging mice, without affecting maximal lifespan.
