Ketones and Cognition: A Kenetik Case Study

Ketones and Cognition: A Kenetik Case Study

Posted by Katie Spaller on

What if you could improve focus, clarity, and decision-making—without caffeine crashes or sugar spikes? Kenetik is making that possible.

In collaboration with Grey Team—a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health and well-being of military veterans—we conducted a case study to evaluate Kenetik’s real-time impact on cognitive performance. The results were compelling: measurable improvements in brain function after just one serving.

Brainpower, Backed by Science


Participants aged 25–65 were assessed using WAVi EEG, an advanced neuroimaging technology, and the Trail Making Test, a widely accepted neuropsychological assessment for executive function and processing speed. Each participant was tested before and 20 minutes after drinking Kenetik. 

The difference was clear—both in brainwave activity and in cognitive performance metrics, demonstrating Kenetik’s ability to enhance both mind and body.

1. Enhanced Executive Function


Trail Making Test B, which evaluates executive function, significantly improved—completion time decreased from 61 seconds to 44 seconds. This test evaluates cognitive flexibility, working memory, and executive control—all critical for decision-making under pressure. 

This suggests Kenetik helps the brain shift gears more efficiently, a crucial ability for high-stakes environments like competitive sports and demanding work settings.

2. Improved Attention and Memory


EEG-measured brain reaction amplitude increased from 8 µV to 12 µV—a strong indicator of sharper concentration and improved working memory. Participants also reported feeling more engaged and mentally clear, a key advantage for those requiring sustained focus throughout the day.

3. Faster Processing Speed


Participants completed Trail Making Test A—measuring attention and processing speed—faster, with completion times improving from 49 seconds to 41 seconds. This boost in cognitive efficiency translates to quicker problem-solving, better responsiveness, and enhanced situational awareness, providing a competitive edge in sports, leadership, and fast-paced environments.


4. Peak Cognitive Performance


EEG results revealed increased brain activity associated with heightened focus and reduced stress,  supporting a shift toward peak mental performance. These results reinforce the findings from the Machado et al. qEEG study that Kenetik increases alpha and gamma brain waves —a crucial marker for “flow state” or peak cognitive performance.

  • Alpha waves (8–12 Hz) are associated with calm alertness, reduced mental stress, and improved creativity. They reflect a state where the brain is relaxed but primed to process information fluidly.
  • Gamma waves (30–100 Hz) are tied to high-level information processing, memory encoding, and conscious perception. They’re often observed during moments of insight, deep focus, and learning.

Unlike caffeine, which can cause overstimulation and crashes, these results support that Kenetik helps maintain a balanced state of alertness and calm, ideal for both high-performance professionals and everyday users.

Practical Benefits for You


Whether you're operating at a boardroom level, training for endurance, or simply managing your daily responsibilities, Kenetik provides the cognitive edge you need to perform at your best.

  • For work & productivity: Stay mentally sharp, make high-quality decisions faster, and beat brain fog and fatigue.
  • For training & endurance: Enter flow state faster, maintain mental clarity under pressure, and react more quickly and precisely.
  • For daily wellness: Support brain health, sustain energy without stimulants, and feel focused, calm, and alert—all day long.

The Grey Team case study reinforces what early adopters already know: Kenetik is more than just a beverage—it’s a tool for cognitive performance. Backed by neuroscience and built for high achievers, it’s redefining what “functional energy” means.
