So you're getting, depending upon which packet you take, 6 grams or 10 grams of pure beta-hydroxybutyrate in the two different enantiomers.
So that's another thing that we could talk about too.
Yes, a 50-50 ratio of D and the L and R and S. I guess you could say there's four different ketone molecules.
There's D-beta-hydroxybutyrate, the L or the R and S, if you use that nomenclature.
And then you have the acetoacetate.
And beta-hydroxybutyrate does need to break down to acetoacetate to be used in the mitochondria.
And then you have acetone.
which has some interesting signaling and metabolic effects, surprisingly.
So it also correlates really well with seizure control.
I'm not forgetting about acetone.
For me, maybe we can include it in the show notes.
I could show you my CKM, my continuous ketone monitor, and shoots me up for, I guess it's about four hours.
One packet, four hours.
But you're starting at a high level.
No.
Well, I would eat carbohydrates to make sure I'm zero to start with.
And I did it under, I've done this dozens of times, but it's interesting.
If I'm sitting in my car and driving, I had a road trip and I drank it and I had my CKM on.
It was elevated for like four to six hours and I was super hyper-focused driving and it was great.
Like one to two?
