β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB)
β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is the most abundant type (78%) of ketone bodies produced naturally in the liver.
BHB can act as a source of exogenous ketones and has been extensively used as a supplement for individuals on a ketogenic diet to promote ketosis, a state when our bodies utilize fat as an alternative energy source for the brain, heart or skeletal muscles.
The release of Ghrelin, our bodies hunger hormone, has been been associated with our BHB plasma levels. Therefore BHB can support the regulation of our appetite.
