About

Sodium takes the spotlight when maintaining electrolyte balance while following a low-carb diet since urinary sodium loss without replacement tells the kidneys to reabsorb sodium at the expense of potassium. Sodium is also essential for proper muscle and nerve function, some studies suggest that consuming between 3-6 grams of sodium per day is optimal.

Many people know of the importance of calcium in maintaining healthy bones, hair, skin, and teeth. Calcium is also essential for heart health, muscle and nerve function. Regular exercise and a healthy diet with enough calcium helps women maintain good bone health and may reduce their risk of osteoporosis later in life. The calcium in ketone salts may benefit those who don’t consume much calcium in their diet.

Magnesium Citrate: All cells require magnesium, it is one of the most important minerals for all aspects of health, but, unfortunately, magnesium deficiency is quite common. Magnesium participates in over 600 different biochemical reactions^[1] in your body, needed for protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, energy production, sleep, is extremely important for mental and neurological health, to deal with stress and anxiety. It is also vital for the metabolism of vitamin D and optimal immune function. Increasing magnesium intake was linked to a reduced risk of stroke, heart failure, diabetes and if you are experiencing muscle cramps, this may be a sign that your body is in a magnesium deficit, while low-magnesium level is associated with anxiety and depression. Magnesium citrate helps with the effects of obesity. In fact, research shows that this form helped arterial stiffness in healthy overweight individuals. It also promotes relaxation by increasing GABA, the calming neurotransmitter. Studies have confirmed that magnesium with organic acid salt (e.g. citrate and malate) are significantly better absorbed and are the most beneficial for the nervous system.

Potassium often functions in conjunction with sodium, regulating muscle contractions, heart rate and maintaining the body’s fluid balance. As mentioned, low sodium levels cause the kidneys to reabsorb sodium at potassium’s expense, which leads to potassium wasting. Low potassium levels can cause constipation, muscle weakness, fatigue and can also lead to more severe complications, such as increased blood pressure, risk of kidney stones, and reduced metabolic health. Due to the increased risk of potassium imbalances, while following a ketogenic diet, managing sodium and potassium intakes may be a critical player in your overall keto experience. An extensive systematic review showed that most people`s health benefits with a potassium intake of about 2.6grams (females)-3.4grams (males) per day.

Caffeine activates pathways that promote the breakdown of fat, otherwise known as lipolysis. Lipolysis increases the amount of free fatty acids in the liver, which can be used directly as fuel, or if oxidized in large amounts, can promote the production of ketones. (only in KETOSTART +, 100mg caffeine per serving) 

Citric Acid: It is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, which is a central metabolic pathway in all aerobic organisms. As a TCA cycle (aka TriCarboxylic Acid cycle, Szent-Györgyi or Krebs cycle) intermediate, it may help facilitate mitochondrial energy generation. It is a weak organic acid that occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables, most notably citrus fruits. It is widely used as an acidifier and as a flavoring agent. (only in KETOSTART+)

It is made by all living organisms. It is an intermediate of the Krebs cycle and may help facilitate mitochondrial energy production. It is the main acid in many fruits, such as apricots, blackberries, blueberries, cherries, grapes,  peaches, pears, plums, causing the sour taste of fruits, and is often used as a food additive. Malic acid was first isolated from apple juice.

Delicious tasting flavors were tailored to your palate to truly, effectively mask the bitterness of BHB. During the flavor development process with an expert team we selected premium flavors with quality you can taste. The Tropical (in KETOSTART) and Raspberry Lemonade (in KETOSTART+) natural flavors ensure that these products are not only highly efficient, but also highly enjoyable.

It is a natural sweetener that contains zero calories and is 100–250 times sweeter than sugar. It is also thought to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The monk fruit is also known as luo han guo or “Buddha fruit”, a small, round fruit grown in Southeast Asia. It has been used for hundreds of years (also in traditional Chinese medicine) with no reported side effects. The sweetener is created by removing the seeds and skin of the fruit and crushing it to collect the juice, which is then dried into a concentrated powder.

Silicon dioxide (SiO₂), is a natural compound made of two of the earth’s most abundant materials: silicon (Si) and oxygen (O₂). It is found naturally in water, plants, animals, it is even found naturally in the tissues of the human body. Though it is unclear what role it plays, it is thought to be an essential nutrient our bodies need. Silicon dioxide is found naturally in many plants, such as: leafy green vegetables, beets, bell peppers, brown rice, oats, alfalfa. Research shows that the silica we consume doesn’t accumulate in our bodies, it is flushed out by our kidneys. It is often used in many foods and supplements as a food additive, since it serves as an anticaking agent to avoid clumping. In supplements a very small amount is used to prevent the various powdered ingredients from sticking together. Research has shown that the silica we consume through our diets doesn’t accumulate in our bodies. Instead, it’s flushed out by our kidneys. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also recognized silicon dioxide as a safe food additive.
