Follow these expert post-run recovery tips to get the most out of every run.

Ketones are your brain’s preferred fuel source - even in the presence of glucose. They increase blood flow, improve functional brain activity by 18% and reduce inflammation to clear brain fog, allowing mental clarity to come into focus.

Ketones provide a ‘supernatural’ edge, delivering energy 28% more efficiently than glucose without the sugar spikes or crashes. Over time, your body will learn how to use ketones more efficiently, with cumulative effects seen in 3-6 weeks.

Subtle yet powerful, drinking ketones daily supports your long-term health. They improve mitochondrial function and counteract oxidative stress to keep your cells energized and damage-free over time.

JUV Labs

Partnered with the Buck Institute for Research on Aging to develop a product that checks all the boxes: a potent and safe active ingredient, optimal ketone levels to reach the therapeutic threshold of ketosis, real feel-good benefits, a taste that makes for an enjoyable addition to your daily routine, all at a value that makes sense.

Ketosis can be a powerful tool, but the options for accessible ketosis were falling short. They either didn’t pack enough punch to deliver high enough ketone levels to get you into ketosis, or they hit you with a taste that was anything but pleasant – not to mention the steep prices.

Just one scoop delivers optimal ketone levels for enhanced focus, mental clarity and sustained energy without the crash. Even better, it provides a creamy, frothy texture for your coffee, matcha, or protein shakes.
