But I looked, I couldn't buy it from Sigma.
It wasn't in the CAS database.
And nobody had thought about this.
How could nobody have thought about putting ketones on different electrolytes?
It just wasn't out there.
So I kind of had the idea of sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, different things that you can combine.
Yeah.

So that was my original thing.
I was like, I was going to create a ketone cell and just balance the sodium with potassium, but it wasn't there.
You don't covalently?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So the idea is to have monovalent and divalent cations.
You can spread the beta-hydroxybutyrate out to create like a quad salt was the idea back in 2011.
So reaching out to Patrick, it wasn't in the CAST database.
No one had thought about it.
You couldn't buy it.
So we had to make it.
And then we made the calcium and the magnesium.
