What is Keto BHB (Beta HydroxyButyrate) and where does it come from?
Being on a Ketogenic Diet is becoming very popular these days because many people find it an easy way to lose weight, improve mental cognition, increase athletic performance and help regulate blood sugar levels.
Because ketosis burns fat for energy, instead of glucose - it can help with weight (especially fat) loss in many ways, such as reducing appetite and boosting metabolism.
A Ketogenic Diet involves reducing carbohydrate intake significantly. When carbohydrate (blood sugar) levels are depleted, and there is an absence of dietary carbohydrates (that are turned into glucose), Ketogenesis occurs where the fatty acids are converted into ketone bodies for energy [1].
The predominant use of ketone bodies for energy (instead of glucose) is known as being in a state of ketosis.
There are three types of ketone bodies [2]:

The predominant use of ketone bodies for energy (instead of glucose) is known as being in a state of ketosis.
There are three types of ketone bodies [2]:
- Acetone
- Acetoacetic acid (AcAc)
- Beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB)
Ketone salts contain ketone bodies (beta-hydroxybutyrate) which are bonded to a salt (sodium, magnesium or calcium) for quick energy release [3].
When was Keto BHB (Beta HydroxyButyrate) first discovered?
In 1921, endocrinologist Rollin Woodyatt noted that three water-soluble compounds, beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate and acetone (called ketone bodies) are produced in the liver when starvation or a diet of high fat and low carbs occurred.
Also in 1921, The Mayo Clinic’s Russel Wilder named this the “ketogenic diet” and used it as an epilepsy treatment.
Traditionally, Keto BHB supplements have been used to aid athletic performance, increase energy levels during periods of low carbohydrate intake, ease & reduce the frequency of migraines, inhibit inflammatory markers, regulate proteins that help defend the body against oxidative stress and free radicals, as well as aiding mental performance while in the keto-adaptation period.
How does Keto BHB (Beta HydroxyButyrate) actually work?
- BHB will help you achieve ketosis and stay in it by boosting energy levels in the presence of no carbohydrate intake - this will also help with weight management.
-
Ketone bodies are very energy-efficient as a fuel. They produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate) than
sugars do and so will give you an energy boost. -
A study on overweight diabetics showed those assigned a keto diet improved their blood sugar control and lost
more weight than those on a conventional, low-fat diabetes diet [4]. -
Beta-hydroxybutyric acid easily passes through membranes and is a source of energy for both the brain and
body [5].
People mainly use Keto BHB to:
Boost energy, especially while in ketosis
When carbs are not available, Ketone bodies act as an alternate source of energy. This is especially prevalent during fasting or prolonged exercise [6].
Ketone bodies move to active tissues (brain or muscle) to be converted to acetyl-CoA by (ketolysis).
Acetyl-Coa is then used to create ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which provides energy to drive many processes in living cells. [7].
Control blood sugar levels
In a study on 84 obese people - those with type 2 diabetes showed that a low-carb diet improved glycemic control and reduced or eliminated medication use [8].
In another study on 25 overweight diabetics, those who were assigned a keto diet improved their blood sugar control and lost more weight compared to those on a conventional, low-fat diabetes diet online program [9].
Also, according to a study of 64 healthy obese people, a keto diet improved body weight, BMI, blood sugar, and cholesterol [10].
Studies seem to suggest that using ketone bodies as fuel can help stabilize blood sugar levels in obese people and reduces cellular dependency on glucose. This prevents health issues resulting from abnormally high or low blood sugar levels [11].
