Key finding
Ketone salts raised blood BHB to 0.76 mM but did not improve cognition under combined mental and physical stress.
What the study did
Triple-blinded randomized crossover trial in 16 healthy college-aged males. Racemic BHB ketone salts at 0.38 g per kg were taken at 60 and 15 minutes before a dual-stress challenge. Blood BHB reached 0.76 mM but cognitive outcomes did not differ from placebo.
This study used [form], not goBHB. It is shown here as general ketone science. Only goBHB studies back goBHB product claims.
