What are exogenous ketones and how do they promote health?

Exogenous ketones are dietary supplements that increase the body's natural ketone levels. They can therefore contribute to weight loss, improved cognitive functions and increased energy. Due to their metabolism-regulating and inflammation-reducing effect, Prüvit's exogenous ketones are used as an adjuvant therapy for various diseases.
How quickly do exogenous ketones work?
In general, the effect varies from patient to patient. However, some effects often appear very early on, such as more energy and greater mental clarity. Sustainable weight loss, metabolic changes and the reduction of silent inflammation, on the other hand, take considerably longer. Initial successes can be seen after around 3 months. Comprehensive therapy usually takes 6-12 months.
How should exogenous ketones be taken?

The ketones are supplied in the form of a powder. This is then dissolved in half a liter to a liter of water and drunk. It is important to take one or two rations a day at regular intervals.

Do exogenous ketones have side effects?
As it is not a drug, there are no side effects in the true sense of the word. Especially at the beginning of the intake, fatigue, acne or softer stools may occur due to the detoxification process.
For which diseases are exogenous ketones already being used today?
Science has now shown that ketone bodies trigger many positive processes in the body. This is why they can and are used in many different ways - usually as an adjunct. These include sleep disorders in particular,
obesity, type 2 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, silent inflammation, depression, Alzheimer's disease and certain types of cancer.

How do doctors and alternative practitioners integrate exogenous ketones into treatment?

Healthcare professionals can use exogenous ketones as part of a holistic treatment plan. In many cases, the patient's already weakened body is strengthened in a healthy way. Often, lasting changes in the patient's behavior are also necessary, such as more exercise or a change in diet. Exogenous ketones can provide very good support here.

Do exogenous ketones require a prescription?
