Understanding ketone fuel
Another route to cellular energy.
When carbohydrate availability is low, the liver can make ketones from fat. Many tissues can use those ketones for energy. BHB is one of these fuel molecules; a BHB supplement supplies it from outside the body. This explains its connection to ketogenic eating, but taking ketones does not itself show that you are burning more body fat or producing your own ketones through nutritional ketosis.
