Boosts ketones

Following a low-carb diet will get you into ketosis, but sometimes you may want to ramp up your ketones even more. During the early stages of the diet, it can make a huge difference to your intake of exogenous ketones as this will help bridge the gap between glucose burning and ketogenic burn.
