Key finding
Handheld ketone meters read significantly lower than GC-MS after racemic ketone salt ingestion and miss the L-isomer.
What the study did
Triple-blinded crossover study in 16 healthy adults ingesting a racemic ketone salt or placebo. GC-MS measured significantly higher BHB than a handheld blood meter in both conditions. The meter could not detect L-BHB.
This study used [form], not goBHB. It is shown here as general ketone science. Only goBHB studies back goBHB product claims.
