Keto Base Gummies
Dietary supplements designed to support or mimic aspects of the ketogenic metabolic state, primarily containing exogenous ketones, MCT oil, and electrolytes.
Exogenous Ketones (BHB Salts)
Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is a primary ketone body that can elevate blood ketone levels when ingested, potentially providing benefits associated with ketosis without strict dietary changes.
Keto Flu
A set of symptoms (fatigue, headaches, cramps) that people may experience when starting a ketogenic diet due to electrolyte loss.
Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCT)
A type of fat that is easily converted into ketones by the liver, potentially boosting energy and aiding in the ketogenic effect.
Appetite Suppression
The reduction of hunger hormones associated with ketosis; however, effects from exogenous BHB salts may be individual and modest.
Net Carbs
A calculation used to determine the impact of carbohydrates on ketosis, calculated as Total Carbohydrates minus Dietary Fiber and Sugar Alcohols.
Blood-Ketone Levels
The concentration of ketones in the blood, which can be temporarily elevated by taking BHB salts but doesn't equate to the sustained metabolic state of nutritional ketosis.
Sugar Alcohols
Low-calorie sweeteners like Erythritol and Maltitol used in gummies; some can affect blood sugar levels and cause digestive distress.
Caloric Deficit
A state where an individual consumes fewer calories than they burn, which is essential for sustainable weight loss.
Electrolytes
Minerals like Magnesium, Sodium, and Potassium that help prevent keto flu symptoms and are included in Keto Base Gummies.
Instant Ketosis
A claim that BHB salts can rapidly elevate blood ketone levels to kickstart fat-burning, which is not equivalent to nutritional ketosis.
Glycerol
An ingredient sometimes used as a sweetener or filler in gummies, influencing the overall energy and nutritional profile.
MHRA Notification
A requirement for food supplements sold in the UK, ensuring basic safety and compliance with health regulations, though not an approval of efficacy.
Digestive Distress
Gastrointestinal issues such as gas, bloating, or diarrhea that may arise from consuming certain sugar alcohols or high amounts of BHB.
BHB (Beta-Hydroxybutyrate)
A ketone produced by the body during ketosis; can be taken as a supplement to potentially enhance energy and support weight management.
Sustainable Weight Loss
A long-term approach to losing weight that involves dietary changes and exercise to maintain a caloric deficit.
