Abstract

Abstract In our study, a commercially available continuous ketone monitoring device captured β-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) dynamics during exogenous ketosis but revealed a gradual decline day-to-day BHB concentrations over 14 days in both ketone ester and placebo groups, likely reflecting sensor drift.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
