Review on Chocolate Exogenous Ketones Powder: BHB Beta-Hydroxybutyrate Salts Supplement - Ultimate Fuel for Energy Boost, Mental Performance | Ideal for Ketosis: Mix in Shakes, Milk, Smoothie Drinks | 8.57 oz (243 grs) by Tia Moore

I received my product yesterday and took 2 doses - 1/2 scoop yesterday and 1 full scoop today. So here are my first thoughts: TASTE: Tastes pretty decent, not unlike a low carb protein drink. I agree with the previous reviewer that it's way better when mixed with cream or maybe coconut milk. I bet it would be downright sinful with the SF chocolate syrup that one reviewer mentioned. KETONE READINGS: Definitely gets your ketone sticks reading moderate to high about an hour after use, but I'm wondering if that's really any good? Wouldn't you like to have some ketone bodies hanging around instead of peeing it all? EFFECTS: It is highly recommended to start with 1/2 scoop and stay there for a while before moving up to a full scoop if you are not used to using exogenous ketones. Gastrointestinal problems are most likely to occur. Haven't noticed a boost in energy or focus yet, but this is only my second dose of the product so time will tell. Week 1. My ketone sticks read moderate to high consistently, even when I'm not drinking the product. 2. Starting with 1/2 scoop in the past week, I can now take a full scoop without any nasty gastrointestinal side effects. YOU MUST USE AT LEAST 10 OZ. OF LIQUID WHEN MIXING. While everyone has different tastes when it comes to sweet and salty, I suspect some reviewers underestimated the amount of liquid they mixed into the product. Tastes best with a couple ounces of heavy cream, a cup of water, and a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. The bitterness of cocoa powder and cream balances the sweetener. And finally, I've lost 6 pounds in the last week! I know most of it is water weight and I use this product in combination with a low carb diet, but that's more than I've lost on anything else.
