Effectiveness of Exogenous Ketone Salts in Enhancing Circulating Acetoacetate Levels: A Pilot Study in Healthy Adults

Key finding
A racemic ketone salt raised circulating acetoacetate, showing conversion between ketone bodies after ingestion.
What the study did

Randomized triple-blinded placebo-controlled crossover in 13 healthy adults given a racemic ketone salt. Plasma acetoacetate rose 0.57 mM versus 0.07 mM with placebo. Acetoacetate change correlated strongly with BHB change (r = .757).

This study used [form], not goBHB. It is shown here as general ketone science. Only goBHB studies back goBHB product claims.
