Study Summary
The purpose of this research study is to determine if short-term consumption of a dietary ketone drink, which increases the blood circulation concentrations of beta-hydroxybutyrate, a ketone, affects blood vessel health and cognitive health in adults. Ketones are normally produced by the liver when people fast longer than 16-24 hours or eat a diet low in carbohydrates. Participants will be asked to randomly consume a dietary ketone drink and placebo (flavored water) for a 2-week period each in a crossover fashion with a 2-week washout period while maintaining habitual diet and physical activity patterns. The investigators hypothesize that consumption of a ketone drink will reduce BP and improve vascular health by reducing aortic pulse wave velocity and increasing brachial artery flow mediated dilation. Furthermore, they hypothesize that ketone consumption will improve cognitive health by increasing attention and processing speed.
