Exogenous Ketones

Exogenous ketones are supplements that provide outside sources of ketones, which are energy molecules our bodies produce during fat breakdown, especially when carbohydrate intake is low. They are consumed to quickly raise blood ketone levels, potentially enhancing energy, mental focus, and athletic performance. Unlike natural ketones produced during a ketogenic diet, exogenous ketones come from outside the body, usually in supplement form like powders or drinks. They can aid in entering or maintaining ketosis, which is a metabolic state where the body primarily burns fat for fuel instead of carbs.
