    Published in Journal of Physiology

    Methodology

    Randomized controlled trial of ketone ester ingestion during three weeks of endurance training overload in trained cyclists.

    Key Findings

    Ketone ester raised blood beta-hydroxybutyrate substantially and reduced markers of overtraining versus control.

    Conclusions

    Exogenous ketone esters reliably induce ketosis and may attenuate overreaching.

    Limitations

    Small trained-male sample; expensive intervention; palatability issues.

    Outcomes Measured
