Why Your Brain Feels Smart on Ketones · Evidence, Mechanisms of Action, & More
Ketones are a brain fuel. They cross the blood brain barrier and can be used by brain cells. It's no surprise that many people in ketosis feel a boost of mental clarity and focus.
How and why?
Geoffrey Woo shares the current evidence and muses over potential mechanisms of action.
Potential Mechanisms of Action:
- Efficient ATP Production via "Mitochondrial Biogenesis"
- Support & Grow Brain Neurons via "BDNF Upregulation"
- Glutamate / GABA regulation
- Reducing Free Radicals in the Brain
Studies:
- Intermittent Running and Cognitive Performance after Ketone Ester Ingestion
- Novel Ketone Diet Enhances Physical and Cognitive Performance
