nutritional ketones

BD-AcAc 2 (Ketone Ester) is a ketone monoester and can be used as a source of oral nutritional ketones. BD-AcAc 2 can elevate plasma levels of acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate, blood Na+, blood glucose levels and blood creatinine levels after oral administration in mice. BD-AcAc 2 can partly prevent muscle weakness in septic mice. BD-AcAc 2 exhibits potential to improve endurance and exercise performance in animal body. BD-AcAc 2 can also be used to research diabetes or Parkinson's disease.

(S,S)-BD-AcAc 2 ((S,S)-Ketone Ester), an (S,S)-enantiomer of BD-AcAc 2, increases AcAc and acetone levels, inducing sustained ketosis and significantly delaying seizures associated with central nervous system oxygen toxicity (CNS-OT).
