Okay.

So again, just- Sodium's positive?

Trying to get everybody back to high school chemistry.

You can either take this highly, highly acidic BHB molecule and you can covalently bind it through an ester to 1,3-butanediol, or you can say, let's be done with that baggage of the 1,3-butanediol and let's have a non-covalent, an ionic bound to a salt.

And I just need a positive charge to offset the negative charge.

So then you were saying, okay, I want to do sodium because I can do a lot with it.

And then tell me where the potassium comes in because you want sodium and potassium.

Both of them are two positive charges instead of one calcium or one magnesium, which have two positive charges.

We should go back to that, Dom, because I think a lot of people have lived that experience and they don't understand why, which is in the early stages of a ketogenic diet, there's little room for error where as glucose levels are going down and ketone levels haven't come up enough to fill the gap,

you really feel lousy.

In retrospect, you can work around that, but it's easy to miss it, meaning it's easy to miss the mark and therefore suffer that painful transition, which can last weeks in some people.

And therefore using these exogenous ketones can be a very elegant bridge through it so that you don't experience the negative side effects of the transition.

How much would you see an increase in you?

So in the packet, what's the brand that you brought for me?

Audacious Nutrition Keto Start.

Okay.

So in that packet, you're getting about how many grams of electrolytes?

About one gram total?

Equal mix of R and D?

So when somebody my size, 180 pounds, 10 grams of BHB will take me to what level for how long?
