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.

A composition for increasing ketone level in a subject, comprising:
- a beta-hydroxybutyrate mixed salt comprising at least two beta-hydroxybutyrate 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;
- 10-70% by weight of magnesium beta-hydroxybutyrate;
- and
- a salt of one or more amino acids and beta-hydroxybutyrate,
- wherein the beta-hydroxybutyrate mixed salt is in solid and/or powder form.
A kit for use in increasing ketone level in a subject, comprising:
- a composition comprising a beta-hydroxybutyrate mixed salt comprising at least two beta-hydroxybutyrate 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;
- 10-70% by weight of magnesium beta-hydroxybutyrate;
- and
- a salt of one or more amino acids and beta-hydroxybutyrate;
- a container in which the composition is placed;
- and
- a measuring device configured to hold therein a unit dose, or fraction thereof, of the composition, wherein a unit dose of the composition contains about 1 g to about 50 g of beta-hydroxybutyrate mixed salt.
A method for increasing ketone level in a subject, comprising:
- administering or receiving a unit dose of a beta-hydroxybutyrate mixed salt comprising at least two beta-hydroxybutyrate 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;
- 10-70% by weight of magnesium beta-hydroxybutyrate;
- and
- a salt of one or more amino acids and beta-hydroxybutyrate,
- wherein the unit dose contains about 1 g to about 50 g of the beta-hydroxybutyrate mixed salt.
