Exogenous ketones can support a ketogenic diet

The ketogenic diet is challenging, and some people are unable or unwilling to follow it. However, supplemental exogenous ketones can enable a person to reach a higher level of ketosis. Examples of exogenous ketones include ketone salts and esters, and depending on their chemical formulation, these products have distinct properties. Several preclinical studies demonstrate anti-seizure and anti-cancer effects in animals fed standard chow supplemented with exogenous ketones. This animal data was so compelling that it inspired investigators to pursue clinical trials using ketone supplements. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D’Agostino explains the rationale behind the development and use of exogenous ketones.
