BHB Magnesium Powder

Product Details

3-Hydroxybutyrate also known as beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB for short) is an energy molecule known as a “ketone body”, one of the main molecules your body is able to produce in the absence of glucose. Bhb magnesium powder is usually compounded with calcium 3-hydroxybutyrate and sodium 3-hydroxybutyrate to make dry powder; the dry powder is decomposed into free beta-hydroxybutyric acid, and mineral ions are absorbed by the body.

In the trend of the ketogenic diet, BHB is used as an exogenous ketone body supplement to better maintain the ketone body content in the body, and BHB has two configurations: D-BHB and L-BHB. Studies have shown that D-BHB It is the main active ingredient and the direct effective energy absorbed by the body.

In humans, d-3-hydroxyl synthesis from ethyl acetoacetate is the first ketone produced in the fasted state. As the body continues to consume carbohydrates, it helps the body produce ketones, a mechanism that uses fat (or, less often, amino acids from muscle) for fuel. These ketones also act as an alternative to glucose for fuel to support the brain, muscles, heart and other organs. Therefore, β-hydroxybutyric acid can not only help to consume fat during human exercise, but also can be used as an energy supply for the body when the blood sugar is low, improving the efficiency of weight loss.

Health Benefits

• Prevent heart disease

The cardioprotective effect of BHB was also observed in an in vivo ischemia/reperfusion approach in rats with starvation-induced ketosis, and intravenous injection of BHB prior to ischemic injury resulted in a significant reduction in infarct size and cardiomyocyte death. The results showed that the LCKD group had obvious tolerance to ischemia, and the cardiac function recovered quickly after reperfusion.

• Anti-aging

Elevation of BHB during fasting or caloric restriction is thought to act as an anti-aging agent that attenuates aging-related neurodegeneration. We report that BHB promotes vascular cell quiescence and significantly inhibits stress-induced progeria and replicative senescence through a p53-independent mechanism. BHB protects mouse vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells from DNA damage-induced senescence.

• Inhibit tumor

The ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) recapitulates these properties of the ketogenic diet, which reduces colonic crypt cell proliferation and effectively inhibits intestinal tumor growth. We found that β-hydroxybutyrate acts through the surface receptor Hcar2 and induces the transcriptional regulator Hopx, which alters gene expression and inhibits cell proliferation. Cancer organoid analysis and single-cell RNA sequencing of colorectal cancer patient biopsies provide evidence that elevated β-hydroxybutyrate levels and active HOPX are associated with reduced intestinal epithelial hyperplasia in humans.
