"Uncovering Surprising Interactions: Ketone Supplements and Alcohol"

A new study published in the International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology suggests that ketone supplements could significantly impact alcohol consumption and cravings. The research found that ketone supplements not only reduced breath and blood alcohol concentrations but also diminished the subjective appeal of alcohol. The study, conducted at the University of Pennsylvania, involved both human and rodent trials and revealed that the ketone supplement led to significant reductions in alcohol levels and altered subjective responses to alcohol. The findings may have implications for developing ketone therapy for individuals with alcohol use disorder and suggest that ketone drinks could aid in sober drinking cultures.

"Ketone Drink: Strengthening Soldiers and Fighting Dementia?"

Ketone supplements are being studied for their potential benefits in improving strength, movement, and memory in old age. These supplements, which mimic the effects of a ketogenic diet, have shown promising results in animal studies and small human trials. Ketones provide an alternative source of energy for cells, particularly in conditions where the ability to use glucose declines, such as dementia. They may also protect muscles and reduce chronic inflammation. While ketogenic diets can be restrictive and difficult to maintain, ketone supplements offer a more convenient and faster way to increase ketone levels in the blood. However, more research is needed to fully understand their effectiveness and potential side effects.
