Exogenous ketosis in breath‐hold diving: Promise, paradox and physiological risk

Abstract Exogenous ketosis induced by ketone ester (KE) ingestion has attracted growing interest as a potential strategy to enhance physiological tolerance to reduced O 2 availability. Reported benefits arise largely from KE‐induced hyperventilation, which can improve systemic an...

An Intensified Training Period Reduces REM Sleep but this Decline Can Be Mitigated by Ketone Ester Supplementation

Introduction: We previously showed that a strenuous training day disrupts sleep efficiency and REM sleep, and that these disturbances can be counteracted by ketone monoester (R)-3-hydroxybutyl-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate (KE) supplementation. However, the impact of prolonged intensifie...
