Researchers are developing a pill version of a ketogenic diet that would release ketones in a slow and predictable manner, allowing people to achieve a level of ketosis that typically takes several days of fasting in as little as 15 minutes. Two-thirds of kids who have failed all standard seizure control methods saw success with a ketogenic diet.

Researcher is studying how to optimize the therapeutic and performance effects of the ketogenic diet by giving participants ketone esters, achieving the level of ketosis that would take around seven days of fasting for a human in just 15-30 minutes.

Ketone esters
Summary

Ketone esters are molecules that slowly release ketones and increase blood ketone levels, leading to the benefits of fasting without actually fasting. They have the potential to improve athletic performance, treat neurological disorders, and aid in weight loss.
