Ketogenic Supplement FAQ

Q: What are ketogenic supplements, and what can they do for you?

Ketogenic supplements introduce exogenous ketones into the body to optimize the body's natural mechanisms to boost ketosis. When ketosis occurs, lower levels of blood sugar may help boost the metabolism and increase the body's ability to burn fat. Using ketone salts, derived from Beta Hydroxybutyrate (BHB), are the most effective, clinically proven ingredients to help achieve ketosis.

Essentially, exogenous ketones boost the body's natural ability to reach ketosis quicker. Once in ketosis, the body will burn more fat. Ketone boosting supplements are not fat burning in themselves, but they will make the process of achieving ketosis easier. A ketone boost can also help boost energy, sharpen focus and enhance mental clarity. If you are looking to lose weight and reach optimal health in a natural way, then a ketogenic supplement is definitely for you.

Q: Do all ketogenic supplements work?

Unfortunately, no. Many fly-by-night companies just ride these diet/health trends, manufacturing inferior products with the wrong ingredients and proportions. They often use cheap fillers and binders that can block the desired effects of ketone boosting salts.

Q: What should I look for?

• It must contain exogenous ketones derived from Beta Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) salts.
• It must have no fillers, binders or any other artificial ingredients.
• It should contain piperine (or Bioperine®) for increased absorption.
• It must be 100% pure with no added ingredients that might water down the product.
• And you need to take a minimum of 2,400mg a day (800 mg capsule, 3 times a day).

Q: What about safety? Are there side effects to watch out for?

From our research, we did not find any interference between ketogenic supplements and other medications or conditions. However, we still recommend consulting with a physician if you have a medical condition or take medications on a regular basis. Also, pregnant or nursing women are advised not to use ketogenic supplements.

Q: How do I take ketogenic supplements?

You should take 2,400mg a day (800mg capsule, 3 times a day). Some people like taking the complete dosage all at once, but we recommend spacing it out to get the most from a ketogenic supplement. As with any type of supplement, you should not exceed the recommended daily dosage, since this can pose serious health risks.

Q: How long will it take to see the effects?

Some customers we spoke to reported seeing results in as little as one week. For others, it took about a month. Results also seem to be a bit different for each person. Some show unbelievable change right away, while others don’t lose as much or as fast. Many of the reputable brands we reviewed offer refunds to customers who don’t see the results they want in any given time frame.Those people who were on the Ketogenic Diet also, experienced the best results.

Q: How much do ketogenic supplements cost?

The cost of keto supplements varies based on the manufacturer. Many of them are worthless, just random companies with cheap quality products trying to cash in on the diet/health trends. Some of these companies sell their supplements for as much as $100 per bottle, which we think is a bit too high. Most of the really good supplements we tested fell in the $40-$50 range. Others may appear cheaper, but they often boast a one-month supply when they’re really giving you half the recommended dosage with plenty of fillers and binders.
