Ketone Body Supplementation-A Potential New Approach for Heart Disease.

As consumer and scientific interest in the very low-carbohydrate, high-fat ketogenic (“keto”) diet continues to boom, some cardiovascular researchers are turning their attention to ketone bodies. The liver converts stored fatty acids into these metabolites—which various organs then use for extra fuel— during conditions including carbohydrate restriction, prolonged fasting, or extreme exercise. Ketone bodies are the body’s main energy source during the fat-burning state of ketosis that ketogenic dieters aim to achieve. But ketone bodies could have benefits beyond weight loss and blood sugar management. Researchers have discovered that the failing heart uses them for energy. A recent review in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology considered this and other emerging evidence that could support ketone body supplementation as a novel cardiovascular disease (CVD) treatment.
