EventsDo ketone supplements work? The big test, part 1
, medical review by Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt, MD
in Exogenous ketones, Experiment, Supplements But what actually are these supplements? What are they made of, who is selling them, and do they carry the benefits we are told they do?
As with all health products, it is crucial to remain conscious as a consumer and not necessarily take marketing about benefit claims at face value. That is exactly what I decided to do when I enlisted the help of some of my fellow Diet Doctor team members to test some of the top brands of ketone salts on the market.
Watch the video above for the first part of our big ketone supplement test (transcript), where I look at the promises ketone manufacturers make and try to call them on the phone to discuss it. You also get a preview of our soon-to-be released findings.
Stay tuned, as I’ll be keeping you updated with the results of our big ketone supplement experiment here at Diet Doctor. There’ll be a follow up video where we show you just how we tested the supplements, as well as a full writeup of the experiment with our final verdict on just how beneficial exogenous ketone supplements might be for you.

In the meantime may I suggest that you look at your bias against network marketing companies. That can be as bad as the bias against LCHF.
I'd question this piece: "One of the reasons for that is many of the companies operate under pyramid marketing structures which means that the products pass through many different people's hands and the product gets more and more expensive before it gets to the final consumer."
A legitimate network marketing company does not have products passing through different people each adding on their profit margin. Usually it is factory/company direct to the consumer and a certain percentage gets divided up amongst people in the distributor team. This percentage is fixed for each company and can vary for example between 25-50%.
I personally only use " Pure C8 MCT Oil, and If I am frank, I don't know if I get all the benefits as stated on the product label. The only difference I noticed that it supresses the hunger for 30/40 min, and then I need to do some physical activity, use my muscles, increase the hart rate, otherwise the appetite kicks in very quickly.
I've started the diet 8 months, I was always slim before but I was addicted to sugar. I am 34, overall I put on weight 3 kg solid(difficult to loose it), I am trying to loose it, as I don't feel comfortable with it.
My mental activities improved, I feel better and my hormones neutralised, everyone sees a difference. I struggle in the heat to eat fried/oily stuff, so when I am on holiday or at home in summer I do struggle to follow the diet fully, well if I do follow I don't really enjoy it. I think the point with Keto Diet is that we should enjoy what we eat?
Am I doing something wrong?
I want to scream this stuff from the mountaintops!!! This ISN'T PhenFen or other cheezy diest... this is BIO-IDENTICAL!! It is the same thing made in the body, (assuming you get the right product) and your body uses it in a more efficient manner than glucose.
I can't wait for the 2nd video to come out! There are so many studies on the benefits of exogenous ketones. Just look them up!!
I like what Dagmarvelous said..."try the first exogenous ketones brought to market. They were created for the US Military." Can't go wrong there! Something like BeSoFreakingAwesome.com (which is a pretty cool call tag if I do say s myself!)
Thanks
