ketone esters and ketogenic diet

Ketone esters are chemical compounds that provide a ready source of ketones, which are an alternative energy source for the body. Ketones can be used by the brain and muscles when glucose (sugar) is limited. Ketogenic diet, on the other hand, is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that triggers the body to produce ketones naturally by restricting sugar intake. Both ketone esters and the ketogenic diet aim to promote ketosis, a metabolic state where the body burns fat for fuel, potentially leading to benefits like weight loss and improved mental clarity.
