Yeah, it was about between one and two, which I think is an ideal range because you're not stimulating insulin.

So keto start is D and the L, and it was only measuring the D, but it's not accounting for the L or acetoacetate or acetone, right?

So it's a 50-50 mixture of D and L, but it's only measuring the D, and it's still getting between one and two millimolar.

Potentially, yeah.

Measuring D, beta-hydroxybutyrate.

No.

Well, racemic ketones were some of the first ones to come out on the market.

And then everybody gravitated to the D, enantiomer.

Okay, beta-hydroxybutyrate is produced in the body primarily in the form of D-beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is a form, the mirror image of D-beta-hydroxybutyrate is L-beta-hydroxybutyrate.

So we say if a beta-hydroxybutyrate supplement is racemic, it has D and it has L in it.

Allulose is not an enantiomer.

It's an epimer.

It's an epimer.

No, it's an epimer.

So it has it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's similar to an enantiomer, but it's an epimer.

I think an important thing to remember is that you have ringer's lactate, which is also DL lactate.
