Gastrointestinal effects of exogenous ketone drinks are infrequent, mild, and vary according to ketone compound and dose
In human metabolism, the term "ketone bodies" refers to d-beta-hydroxybutyrate (d-ßHB), acetoacetate, and acetone, which are synthesized in the liver from fatty acids during periods of dietary carbohydrate (CHO) restriction. Recently, interest in health and performance applications of exogenous ketone drinks has grown (Egan & D`Agostino, 2016). These drinks rapidly increase blood ketone concentrations to achieve ketosis (blood d-ßHB >0.5 mM) without dietary modification (Stubbs et al., 2017).
