Ketone salts are sodium-, potassium-, magnesium- beta hydroxybutyrate. They are the energy sources when the metabolism is in “fat-burning” mode.

When the body is running primarily on carbohydrate fat is not being accessed for energy.

To get into true fat-burning mode it is ideal to empty out glycogen (stored carbohydrate). This takes the average sofa spud at least a day or two of very low carb eating, or more than 12 hours of complete fasting. The sugar burner is going to feel like crap while their sugar depletes and insulin drops.
Ketone salts make the transition easier — more energy and reduced brain fog.
