KetoCare contains Beta-hydroxybutyrate. BHB is the first substrate that kicks the metabolic
state of ketosis into action. Revisiting the scenario from before, if you either take
supplemental forms or if your body is making beta-hydroxybutyrate, it is able to start
processing in your body resulting in energy.
Beta-hydroxybutyrate floats around in your blood, and
importantly, can cross different important barriers to be able to be turned into energy at all
times. One of the most important areas where this happens is in the brain. The blood-brain
barrier (BBB) is usually a very tightly regulated interface, but since BHB is such a rock star
and so hydrophilic, your brain knows to let it in so it can bring energy to the party at any
time. This is one of the main reasons why increased BHB levels lead to heightened mental
acuity.*
