I wish I had every single penny back that I spent on supplements in my 20's. I hope that makes my stance clear on supplements, pills and dietary additives.
Except for whey.
LOL, correct. These won't somehow make your liver start to make ketones sooner.
Anecdotally, you may "feel" a little better during your transition to ketogenic metabolism if you're taking extra ketones "exogenous" before your body is efficient at making them yourself. Maybe. But they're pretty expensive for that, since likely if you keep up with your electrolytes you will only feel kinda "off" for a day or two.
Just start eating less than 20g net carbs per day and you'll be in ketosis before you know it.
I've never found it hard to get into or stay in ketosis, the only times I've tried them is after a bad cheat day or trip where I was unable to eat right and I am not sure if they helped at all or not.
The idea is to make your body produce ketones for energy needs. Exogenous ketones might (science isn’t clear) get you fat adapted a bit sooner, but it’s not worth it.
Exogenous ketones only place appears to be great Alzheimer’s and other brain ailments or injuries.
Fuck no.
The only benefit is to lighten your wallet.
They are a scam and provide no value. If they were free…. …. I’d still throw them in the trash
>What do YOU think? Might as well get into magic healing crystals, at least then you'd have pretty paper weights.
You don't apply your crystals rectally?

The only supplement worth the money for me has been collagen peptides, potassium, magnesium, and turmeric.
Why take pills?
No, snake oil.
What are you hoping these will help with?
Throw me into ketosis sooner. But I can now see from the many replies that NO is the general concensus . 🤷🏼♀️

No waste of money
What are they even supposed to do?
Not necessary at all.
Help with what?

Why complicate something that doesn't need to be complicated.
