The Types of Ketone Supplements and Their Uses

Dominic D’Agostino, PhD, is a scientist who is focused on the area of ketone ester and supplementation research, along with managing KetoNutrition.com. Ketone supplements play a major role in the research of Dr. Dominic D’Agostino, and there are two main types.

Ketones can be produced by the body while in ketosis, as a form of energy to be consumed instead of fats and sugars. Exogenous forms of ketones, those not produced naturally by the body, are available for use. These supplements are commonly used by people doing intermittent fasting and metabolic switching.

Ketone salts come in a powdered form, where the keytones are bound together by some form of salt. Salts that are typically used contain calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium. These ketones may also come in a liquid form. This type of ketone supplement is the one most widely available to the public.

Ketone esters are not as common as salts, and currently, their primary use is in research. They typically come in a liquid form and are bonded with a compound that is derived from carboxylic acid. For more information, please visit KetoNutrition.org and www.instagram.com/dominic.dagostino.kt.
