“Wow is all I can say about this product! I like to use ketone supplements to fuel my longer workouts (I do IronMan training) and I also like to use them on fasting days or times when I have to focus at work. I've used a bunch of different branded ketones in the past and they are NOTHING like this! Firstly: when you unpack it, it looks pretty cool, a bit like a cologne! Secondly, I was worried about the taste as I'd heard that ketone esters taste like rocket fuel! It is STRONGGG and pretty bitter but its drinkable for sure: be warned you should drink it quickly and have some water nearby. The positive effects are worth the short term taste issue. I took it before a long run: my blood ketones went from 0.2 to 3.5 in 30 minutes and I felt AWESOME. I crushed my run, you feel like you are running on a whole other gas tank. I also used one on a planned 24h fast, I felt very focussed and clear, really helped with the middle of the day slump: nice even energy levels through the day. No GI issues at all, which was another issue I have had in the past with MCT and ketone salt. Would definitely use this again.”
“I’m a triathlete. I use HVMN Ketone for my long workouts and race day. Love it- definitely gives me a step above my normal nutrition. Felt the buzzzz!”
“Loved the effect of Ketone. While I'm not an endurance athlete i've used hte product during long days and find that its a great source of energy. It suppresses appetite and allows me to focus on tasks longer. Even after a hard day at work I feel refreshed the next day”
“I recently undertook a water detox fast, and the ketones took it to a whole new level. Total game-changer. I came out of the experience all the more energized by supplementing ketosis with HVMN's ketone drink.”
“I don't just go off of what I "feel" is better, I test it. In this case I use a ketone meter and have tested using this ketone ester to gauge how deep I'm in.
Naturally on a ketogenic diet I fluctuate between .5 and 2.0 on my meter. If I find myself eating something that knocks me lower on ketosis or I feel like I need an extra boost for a hard workout I will take some of this ester.
One particular experiment was after a night of having some wine, when I woke up I tested myself and I was at .4 so I drank half a bottle of one of these and took a shower. Once I dried off, I thought well I'll test this again and see where I'm at. To my surprise I was at 3.7
Is it expensive? yes - formerly it was developed for the military and I think the first few bottles were a few thousand dollars. I do think it's worth $30 a bottle. You don't have to drink the ENTIRE bottle with each use - often I take a sip and drink an 1/8 of the bottle. If you look at it, it's marked off to measure. I use about a bottle a week myself when I feel I need a little boost or to help keep me regular in keto.”
