Summary
There are a variety of exogenous ketone products on the market today, many of which are consumed by athletes and people looking for a natural source of energy to increase their endurance and physical performance. Most of these products, however, have to be consumed in relatively large volumes and have high quantities of artificial sweeteners. That's not the case with HVMN Ketone--the world's first ketone ester sports drink shown to increase endurance, athletic performance, and cognitive ability.
Brianna Stubbs, Ph.D., is a research lead at HVMN Ketone and joins the podcast today to discuss the difference between the ketone salt products that have been on the market and the ketone ester used in the HVMN Ketone drink, and why ketone esters are far superior to ketone salts. By virtue of the fact that ketone esters are more potent than ketone salts, the drink can be consumed as a quick shot, rather than an unpalatable 16 ounces of liquid filled with artificial sweetener and a salty undertaste.
Research on the benefits of ketone esters and the ketogenic diet, in general, has shown that beyond the ability to improve cognitive and physical performance, increased ketones in the body can boost brain metabolism and slow or prevent the progression of cognitive deficits such as Alzheimer's.

| 0:07.0 | Future Technologies is to transform our lives for better or worse or the focus of this podcast. |
| 0:13.0 | Almost here means these technologies are now here and starting to be used. |
| 0:17.0 | Or just around the corner, for Bitcoin to artificial intelligence, |
| 0:21.0 | 3D printing, blockchain, virtual reality, and more. |
| 0:25.0 | Hello, this is Richard Jacobs with the Future Tech and Future Tech Health |
| 0:31.2 | podcast. My guest is Brianna Stubbs, she's over in England, she's a research lead at HVMN ketone. |
| 0:38.9 | The website is HVMN. That come. |
| 0:43.0 | So Brianna, how you doing? |
| 0:44.0 | Hey, I'm good. |
| 0:45.0 | I'm actually in San Francisco. |
| 0:46.0 | So our company were based out in San Francisco. |
| 0:49.0 | I moved from England, as you can tell from the accident I studied. |
| 0:52.0 | I studied my PhD at Oxford University. I was actually at Oxford for about seven years and just moved stateside about a year and a half ago and so I'm enjoying it and enjoying the sun and |
| 1:04.6 | enjoying being away from the rain and really excited to be working on the ketone |
| 1:09.7 | after which I was studying over in Oxford and seeing it become sort of a real thing that people can go and like hold and touch and use out in the field. |
| 1:18.0 | That's great. I've heard, you know, there's a lot of exogenous ketone products in the market and I guess those |
| 1:23.8 | are ketone salts like they're a hydroxybuterate but you're talking about ketone esters which I |
| 1:29.5 | guess legend has it are a lot more powerful right? Yeah so as part of my PhD I spent quite a lot of |
| 1:36.0 | time comparing what happens when you take exactly the same kind of gram amount of BHB as a salt and an ester and so one of the big findings was that as you |
| 1:48.4 | say the esters are much more potent to kind of raise a BHB and part of that could be explained by the fact |
| 1:56.1 | that many of the ketone salts that are kind of commercially available are what's called |
