Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Is free beta-hydroxybutyrate safe and well tolerated by adults?
Participants will be asked to ingest 10 grams of beta-hydroxybutyrate, diluted in water and sweetened with Stevia, every morning between 9:00 and 11:00 for four weeks.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
There are 3 safe supplements for inducing ketosis: ketone salts, ketone esters and medium-chain triglycerides. Even though they all raise the beta-hydroxybutyrate serum concentration, they significantly differ in safety profiles, drug vehicles, palatability and monetary costs. A biologically identical beta-hydroxybutyrate supplement with prompt onset of action and free of salt, alcohol and drug vehicles would be an adequate option in many clinical settings.
A gender and age-balanced adult sample will be recruited in order to evaluate the safety and tolerability of free beta-hydroxybutyrate. Participants will be asked to ingest 10 grams of beta-hydroxybutyrate, diluted in water and sweetened with Stevia, every morning between 9:00 and 11:00 for four weeks. Symptoms will be evaluated on a daily basis with a self-administered opened questionnaire. A venous blood gas analysis will be made at the beginning, 2 and 4 weeks later.
