Effect of acute ingestion of beta-hydroxybutyrate salts on the response to graded exercise in trained cyclists

Key finding
BHB salts modestly raised blood ketones and altered metabolism without changing lactate, effort ratings or efficiency.
What the study did
Randomized trial in 19 trained cyclists given BHB salts at 0.38 g per kg at 60 and 15 minutes before graded exercise. Plasma BHB rose to 0.44 mM by the end of exercise. Lactate, perceived exertion and efficiency did not differ from control.
This study used [form], not goBHB. It is shown here as general ketone science. Only goBHB studies back goBHB product claims.
