| 0:00.0 | My hope is that we have this conversation today and people really understand not only what a ketone is, |
| 0:05.0 | but the ways that you can use it. |
| 0:06.5 | Ketogenic diet, that is mainly how we refer to endogenous ketones. |
| 0:11.0 | So, endogenous endo, if you want to think about it, it's internal and you are producing your own ketones, exogenous ketones would be external. |
| 0:20.0 | The original ketone IQ was HVMN. |
| 0:23.9 | Originally, it was for military use, right? |
| 0:26.8 | How do we make the soldiers that are going overseas? |
| 0:30.6 | They're in long, treacherous environments, be more impactful, but how do we do this |
| 0:34.1 | with something that's light? |
| 0:35.6 | We got a $800,000 grant from CDMRP to look at TBI and midterm to long-term effect. |
| 0:43.9 | However, we're waiting for the Congress to pass the budget before we can start the study. |
