Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I admit I was skeptical when I first started reading about exogenous ketones but after much research and hearing Dom D'Agostino on Joe Rogan's podcast I decided to give them a try. Exogenous ketones are very pricey here on Amazon but I settled on a middle of the road brand that I thought would give me the best bang for my buck. I also decided to do a little experiment since I have also recently purchased a blood ketone meter DSS Precision Xtra Blood Glucose Meter Kit and test strips Abbott Precision Xtra Ketone Test Strips so let's see how effective this really is for raising my ketone blood level. I started out first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and tested my ketone blood level to get a baseline, It measured at .5 mmol/L which is what it has been for about 2 weeks now (I've been on a strict no sugar/grains keto diet for about 4 weeks at this point). I then mixed 1 scoop of Keto Drive to 12 oz of cold water as directed in a shaker bottle, shook it up and then slammed it. Taste wasn't as bad as some reviews say but taste is subjective I guess and i'm not drinking this for the flavor anyways so I manned up and drank it down. I waited 30 mins and still on an empty stomach I tested my ketone blood level again, and was impressed. I was expecting a .5 mmol/L raise at best but my blood now measured 1.5 mmol/L a full 1 point gain! I then proceeded to eat a healthy keto breakfast of eggs, cheese, bacon, & MCT oil coffee and go about my day. 4 hours later I decided to check my ketone blood levels again and was surprised yet again to see my levels were still higher then my base at .7 mmol/L. and while this is a N=1 experiment, the results are conclusive, for me at least, that yes exogenous ketones do raise ketone levels in my blood and this particular brand Keto Drive does what it says it's going to do. And what more can you want from a product? I plan on running this same experiment on the pricier brands to see if they produce better result for a higher cost or not, we shall see.... As for the rest of the review: After taking this every morning for the last week before heading off to work I have noticed a measurable increase in my energy levels and alertness. Not at all like caffeine or other stim like supplements. No jittery-ness, no shakes, no feelings of anxiety just clean workable energy that seems to last me about 4-5 hours. I like to fast by skipping breakfast on the week days and it helps to control my appetite during that time as well. All-in-all I recommend this product to anyone wanting to boost their energy and ketone levels and not drain their wallet. BTW, I was not paid or have not received any free products for this review, I bought this with my own money and these words are all my own. ;)
