gib65 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Hello, Has anyone tried Ketone IQ? I'm checking it out at this website here: commercial link removed by moderator I asked them for their nutritional information and they gave me this: No carbs, no fat, no protein... just 10g of ketones per 35ml. The fine print also says it contains 2% other ingredients. I don't recognize any of these. It is said to give you energy. Does this make sense given the ingredients listed above?

TheVat Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Not really. Your liver produces any ketones that you need, which are called endogenous ketones. Exogenous ketones (i.e. supplements) are a scam, and consuming large quantities could even impair your natural production of endogenous ketones. If you want to induce ketosis (high ketone production, when the liver breaks down fatty acids), then that happens naturally when you eat mostly protein and fatty acids and have very restricted carb intake. Also, approach ketosis diets with great caution. They are often low in important fiber and certain vitamin groups that are found in complex carbs. Such diets are an extreme approach, sometimes recommended for serious chronic conditions. For the rest of us: complex carbs are GOOD. And their fiber helps us feel full and have a healthy gut, as well as providing steady energy throughout our day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, but you must be careful. I think that exogenous ketones (i.e., supplements) are generally a scam. (There is no image, can you update it?)
