Abstract
Ketogenic compositions including a beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) mixed salt are formulated to induce or sustain ketosis in a subject to which the ketogenic compositions are administered. The BHB mixed salt is formulated to provide a biologically balanced set of cationic electrolytes, and is formulated to avoid detrimental health effects associated with imbalanced electrolyte ratios. A ketogenic composition includes BHB salts of at least sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. The BHB salts may also include at least other component such as a BHB compound containing other cations, such as transition metal cations (e.g., zinc or iron), a BHB-amino acid salts, medium chain fatty acid source, vitamin D3, flavorant, or other excipient.
Claims22
A composition for maintaining or restoring electrolyte balance while promoting and/or sustaining ketosis in a mammal, comprising:
- a beta-hydroxybutyrate mixed salt formed from at least four different cations and comprising:
- 10-70% by weight of sodium beta-hydroxybutyrate;
- 10-70% by weight of potassium beta-hydroxybutyrate;
- 10-70% by weight of calcium beta-hydroxybutyrate;
- and
- 10-70% by weight of magnesium beta-hydroxybutyrate,
- wherein the beta-hydroxybutyrate mixed salt is in solid and/or powder form.
A composition for maintaining or restoring electrolyte balance while promoting and/or sustaining ketosis in a mammal, comprising:
- a beta-hydroxybutyrate mixed salt formed from at least four different cations and comprising:
- 10-70% by weight of sodium beta-hydroxybutyrate;
- 10-70% by weight of potassium beta-hydroxybutyrate;
- 10-70% by weight of calcium beta-hydroxybutyrate;
- 10-70% by weight of magnesium beta-hydroxybutyrate;
- and
- a beta-hydroxybutyrate-amino acid salt,

A composition for maintaining or restoring electrolyte balance while promoting or sustaining ketosis in a mammal, the composition comprising:
- a beta-hydroxybutyrate mixed salt formulated from a plurality of different cations and a single anion, wherein the single anion is beta-hydroxybutyrate, and wherein other anions are omitted from the beta-hydroxybutyrate mixed salt, the cations being formulated so as to provide a biologically balanced set of cationic electrolytes upon administration to a mammal,
- the beta-hydroxybutyrate mixed salt comprising at least three salts selected from the group consisting of:
- 10-70% by weight of sodium beta-hydroxybutyrate;
- 10-70% by weight of potassium beta-hydroxybutyrate;
- 10-70% by weight of calcium beta-hydroxybutyrate;
- and
- 10-70% by weight of magnesium beta-hydroxybutyrate,
