Study Summary

Exogenous ketones (EK) are compounds that can increase the level of ketones in the body without needing to change what an individual eats. Although EK have been researched mainly in relation to energy and exercise, there haven't been many studies focusing specifically on how EKs affect breathing using well-established scientific methods. The investigators believe that EK may help improve breathing, which could be beneficial for situations like high altitudes, sleep apnea, and exercise. To explore how EK might influence breathing, the investigators are conducting a randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study with healthy volunteers.
