Abstract
The invention relates to at least one of C4 or C6 fatty acids and optionally C2 fatty acids for enhancing ketosis associated with a ketogenic diet and/or preventing and/or treating resistance to a ketogenic diet, in a subject adhering to a ketogenic diet, wherein the at least one of C4 or C6 fatty acids and optionally C2 fatty acids are comprised in a non-ketogenic ketogenic diet-booster composition, or the at least C4 or C6 fatty acids and optionally C2 fatty acids are provided in non-ketogenic amounts by a dietary fibre blend comprised in a non-ketogenic ketogenic diet-booster composition.
Claims16
At least one of C4 or C6 fatty acids and optionally C2 fatty acids for therapeutic use in
- (i) enhancing ketosis associated with a ketogenic diet and/or
- (ii) preventing and/or treating resistance to a ketogenic diet,
- In a subject adhering to a ketogenic diet, wherein the at least one of C4 or C6 fatty acids and optionally C2 fatty acids are comprised in a non-ketogenic ketogenic diet-booster composition, or the at least C4 or C6 fatty acids and optionally C2 fatty acids are provided in non-ketogenic amounts by a butyrogenic dietary fiber or butyrogenic dietary fiber blend comprised in a non-ketogenic ketogenic diet-booster composition.
A non-therapeutic method for
- (i) enhancing ketosis and/or
- (ii) preventing resistance to a ketogenic diet
- in a healthy subject adhering to a ketogenic diet, comprising administering to the subject at least one of C4 or C6 fatty acids and optionally C2 fatty acids, wherein the one of C4 or C6 fatty acids and optionally C2 fatty acids are comprised in a non-ketogenic, ketogenic diet-booster composition, or the at least C2 or C4 fatty acids or derivatives thereof are provided in non-ketogenic amounts by a butyrogenic dietary fiber blend in a non-ketogenic, ketogenic diet-booster composition.
A non ketogenic, ketogenic diet-booster composition essentially consisting of
- (i) 0.2 mg to 1.2 g C4 fatty acids;
- (ii) 5 mg to 17 g C6 fatty acids;
- (iii) 10 mg to 20 g citrate;
- and
- (iv) 0.5 mg to 1.5 g nicotinamide riboside or nicotinamide wherein the amounts are based on the dry weight of the composition and wherein the amounts are per serving and wherein optionally the composition is in the form of a supplement.
