Are They the Turbo Boost for Your Health and Performance?

What exactly are exogenous ketones and how do they work?

Unlike endogenous ketones, which the body produces itself in a state of ketosis, exogenous ketones are supplied from outside, e.g., in the form of dietary supplements.

Ketosis offers a variety of benefits:

• Increased energy and endurance: Ketones are a more efficient energy source than glucose. They provide muscles and brain with long-lasting energy and improve endurance performance.
• Improved cognitive function and concentration: Ketones can optimize brain function, increase concentration and promote mental clarity.
• Effective fat loss: In ketosis, the body burns fat for energy, which can lead to effective weight loss.
• Muscle protection and building: Ketones help prevent muscle breakdown during a diet and support muscle building.
• Deeper and more restful sleep: Ketosis can contribute to deeper and more restful sleep as it supports the production of sleep-promoting hormones.
• Healthier skin: Ketones can reduce inflammation that can lead to skin problems, contributing to healthier skin.
• Improved digestion: Ketosis can improve gut health and reduce digestive problems as it promotes the growth of "good" gut bacteria.
• Stabilized blood sugar levels: Ketones help stabilize blood sugar levels and can improve insulin resistance, which is especially beneficial for people with diabetes. A systematic review and meta-analysis (Yu et al., 2023) PubMed ID: 37327753 suggests that exogenous ketones can lower blood sugar levels.
• Reduction of inflammation: Ketones have anti-inflammatory effects and can reduce chronic inflammation in the body, which is associated with many diseases. There is also evidence that exogenous ketones could improve cognitive function PubMed ID: 35380602.
• Increased well-being: Many people report increased well-being, more energy and an improved mood in ketosis.

• Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB): The most common ketone in the blood.
• Acetone: A ketone that is excreted in the urine.
• Acetoacetate: A ketone that is used in cells to produce energy. 

Exogenous ketones work on a cellular level:

• Alternative energy source: They reduce the dependence on glucose.
• Cell protection: They protect cells from harmful free radicals.
• Immune modulation: They support a balanced immune response.
• Mitochondrial function: They promote mitochondrial health.
• Insulin sensitivity: They contribute to improving insulin sensitivity.
• Direct anti-inflammatory effect: They can directly inhibit inflammation.

Exogenous ketones and weight loss: Exogenous ketones support fat metabolism and bring the body into ketosis, which promotes fat burning and can help with weight loss. 

Important: Ketones do not replace meals! They are a plant-based fermented macronutrient that is taken as a powder dissolved in water.

Exogenous ketones and lifestyle:

Even without a ketogenic diet, one benefits from exogenous ketones. They support a healthy lifestyle and can be integrated into "normal" or low-carb diets.

Why exogenous ketones from Pruvit?

Pruvit is a pioneer in the field of exogenous ketones and has made a name for itself by developing high-quality and bioidentical ketones.
What distinguishes Pruvit's exogenous ketones?

• Bioidentity: Pruvit's ketones are almost 100% similar to the body's own ketones. This means the body can optimally utilize them.
• Purity: Pruvit exclusively uses right-handed (R)-BHB ketones, as these are best absorbed by the body.
• Manufacturing process: The ketones are obtained through a microbial fermentation process, resulting in high purity and quality.
• Additives: The products are free of artificial sweeteners, flavors and colors.
• Taste: Pruvit offers a variety of flavors that enhance enjoyment.

 

Conclusion:

Exogenous ketones, especially those from Prüvit, are a promising dietary supplement with potential benefits for cognitive and physical performance, weight loss and overall health.
