What are ketones?
Ketones are molecules the body produces from fat when carbohydrate intake is low, such as during fasting or a ketogenic diet. They serve as an alternative fuel source to glucose.
What does "exogenous" mean?
"Exogenous" simply means originating from outside the body. Exogenous ketone supplements are designed to supply ketone compounds directly, rather than requiring the body to produce them through diet alone.
Why are they popular in the low-carb community?
People following low-carb or ketogenic diets sometimes use exogenous ketone supplements to support the transition into a fat-adapted state, or simply as a convenient daily addition to their routine.
