Exogenous ketone acid), β-HB acts like a ketone, providing the body with energy in the absence of glucose. In fact, β-Hydroxybutyrate is the most abundant ketone in the blood during ketosis. Acetone is an organic compound with the formula (CH3)2CO and is one of the simplest and smallest ketones. It is synthesized from the breakdown of acetoacetate in ketotic individuals within the liver. Ketone salts are natural compounds, such as β-HB, that are mixed with sodium, potassium, or calcium to improve absorption and overall bioavailability. Ketone esters are synthetic compounds that link an alcohol group to a ketone body, producing an ester.
