Exogenous Ketones

Exogenous ketones and MCT oil share the same goal of elevating blood ketone concentration. Exogenous ketones are a more expensive alternative to MCT oil. Exogenous ketones raise blood ketones from outside the body without requiring fasting, carbohydrate restriction, or glycogen depletion. Exogenous ketones can create a hybrid fuel state in which glucose and ketones are both available. Exogenous ketones are most relevant when ketone availability is desired without strict fasting or ketogenic dieting.
