Key finding
Ketone salts improved cycling time trial performance only when caffeine was added, so the benefit is attributed partly to caffeine.
What the study did
Randomized crossover trial in 13 recreationally active men. Sodium plus potassium BHB salts (about 7 g BHB) were given with taurine and leucine, with or without about 120 mg caffeine, before a 20 km cycling time trial. Only the caffeine-containing mix beat the carbohydrate placebo (37.8 vs 39.4 min).
This study used [form], not goBHB. It is shown here as general ketone science. Only goBHB studies back goBHB product claims.
