Participants taking ketones reportedly had higher oxygen saturation and improved cognition, reaction time, speed, and accuracy under hypoxic stress. Ketones are described as more efficient than glucose per molecule of oxygen. Ketones may provide a more oxygen-efficient fuel under ischemic or low-oxygen conditions. Hypoxia is a key performance context for ketone use in the article.
