What Are Ketones?
Ketones are the fourth macronutrient. Your body naturally produces them during fasting or intense exercise to keep you performing at your best.
They’re a clean, efficient fuel your brain and body were designed to run on. When taken daily, ketones act as a cellular signal that helps you repair, adapt, and grow more resilient.
With Kenetik, you can unlock the benefits of ketones on demand without hours of fasting or restrictive dieting.
The brain makes up only about 2% of your body weight, yet it demands nearly 20% of your daily energy.
Ketones provide a clean, efficient alternative to glucose that effectively fuels that demand. Research shows that ketones enhance brain activity associated with calm focus and mental clarity within minutes¹².
They also help stabilize large-scale brain networks, making neural communication more resilient under stress². Beyond this, ketones support healthy cerebral blood flow and optimize the way your neurons use fuel³.
Together, these effects establish the physiological foundation for clearer cognition.
Unlike stimulants that spike and crash, ketones provide a steady, efficient energy source that keeps metabolism stable.
Research shows that ketones help maintain consistent cellular energy and produce 28% more ATP per unit oxygen within the Kreb's Cycle of your mitochondria 4,5.
For athletes, this translates into more sustainable performance. Studies demonstrate that ketone supplementation can help sustain training loads and even mitigate the symptoms of overreaching during periods of high intensity.
By delivering balanced energy at the cellular level, ketones support both everyday function and peak performance.
Think of it as supercharging your mitochondria, the tiny power plants in every cell.
Metabolic flexibility is the ability of your cells to efficiently switch between energy sources depending on need. According to the Cyclic Metabolic Switching (CMS) theory, alternating between a ketogenic (fasting) state and a non-ketogenic (fed) state strengthens this adaptability and supports resilience. 7
Ketones make this process easier. A daily dose provides a simple way to trigger the beneficial switch without strict fasting or sustained ketosis. This regular pulse activates pathways optimized for stress adaptation, repair and recovery.
By consistently facilitating this cycle, daily ketones train your cells to become more resilient, adaptive, and metabolically flexible.
Ketones directly inhibit the NLRP3 inflammasome, a driver of chronic inflammation associated with aging and many metabolic disorders 8,9. By blocking this pathway, BHB ketones can reduce the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines that contribute to tissue damage and disease.
This anti-inflammatory effect is why ketones are being explored in clinical trials for conditions ranging from traumatic brain injury to autoimmune disorders.
Ketones act as epigenetic regulators. β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) inhibits HDAC enzymes, switching on genes that enhance stress resistance, bolster antioxidant defenses and strengthen mitochondria. This activity reduces oxidative stress, a key factor in cellular damage and decline ¹¹.
In the brain, ketones increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein vital for learning, memory, and synaptic plasticity. Higher BDNF levels have been shown to support and protect neurons, enhance resilience against cognitive decline, and sustain brain performance ¹².
