Ketone Ester Review: Everything You Need to Know BEFORE You Buy!

By Kate Thornton

If you’ve ever wished you had some sort of ‘rocket fuel’ to give you an additional boost during strenuous activity, then you’re in the right place. In this review of HVMN Ketone Ester, we take a look at what this sports performance drink can do, as well as how you can use it to take your performance to the next level.

Introduction to HVMN Ketone Ester

If you’ve ever wished you had some sort of ‘rocket fuel’ to give you an additional boost during strenuous activity, then you’re in the right place. In this review of HVMN Ketone Ester, we take a look at what this sports performance drink can do, as well as how you can use it to take your performance to the next level.

UPDATE: H.V.M.N. has released a new and improved version, called Ketone-IQ which reduces the cost per gram of ketones by 66%, vastly improves the taste, and keeps your ketones elevated for longer.

What is HVMN Ketone Ester and How Does it Work?

HVMN Ketone is a sports performance drink that is scientifically proven to enhance performance and recovery. It’s the world’s first ketone ester and it is used by a lot of the world’s leading athletes. Ketone Ester is basically raw beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) ketone, a compound that is produced in the liver during periods of extremely low carbohydrate intake.​

When the body is pushed to the limit, it produces fuel for its cells in the form of ketones. Ketones have fueled humanity since the dawn of time, with ketosis being a vital survival mechanism during long hunts and lengthy spells without food.

The HVMN (pronounced ‘human’) Ketone is the only product containing the patented formula developed at Oxford and NIH to deliver pure consumable ketones.

From NFL Athletes to World Tour Cycling Teams, and all sports disciplines in between, many top performers are loyal to this fuel source.

If you decide to take this HVMN sports performance drink, you can expect to experience the following benefits:

  • Increased endurance performance
  • Enhanced muscle recovery
  • Improved cognitive ability

HVMN sports performance drink is designed to help you stay at the top of your game. The nutritional drink works in a simple, yet super-effective way. It loads you with both ketones and carbs during your activity, giving your body what it needs to boost performance. It contains no caffeine, sugar, salt or fat - just 25g of ketone ester.

It’s basically deep ketosis, bottled for your convenience!

The ketone drink also helps your muscles to recover after hard exercise. You won’t feel as sore, thanks to its ability to accelerate glycogen and muscle protein synthesis. The production of lactic acid in your body will also be reduced by up to 50%, further assisting in muscle recovery.

What are Ketones? (we hear you ask)

Ketones are back-up fuel for the body. They are naturally produced in the liver and highly efficient as an energy source. The body creates ketones as a byproduct of fat breakdown when it’s low on carbs (such as in the low-carb ‘ketogenic’ diet). Ketones are also produced whenever you fast, are starved, or during long periods of physical exertion.

You can create a ketogenic state naturally by following a simple ketogenic diet. However, this process involves restricting your carb intake for a long period of time, which is detrimental to performance in athletes.

With HVMN, you’re able to put your body into a state of ketosis by just drinking the ketones instead, which means you get to skip that long, miserable process of denying yourself the foods you love, and still get the results you want.

The ingredients in this formula support fasting and various other dietary goals, such as the ketogenic diet. In addition to being compliant with different dietary needs, this professional sports drink also works as a super fuel to enhance your physical and cognitive performance while increasing your resilience.

How to Use HVMN Ketone Ester

The HVMN sports drink can be used before, during, and after any type of activity as needed, or it can be taken daily. Simply swig the drink down about half an hour before you start your session. We should warn you, though, the taste takes a bit of getting used to. But, for the benefits you get from this ketone drink, it’s well worth the small sacrifice.

Just do your best to get it down in one swig and you can always follow it up with something else that is better-tasting. Of course, there’s a chance that you might like the taste - at least, there are those who do, according to some HVMN reviews online.

Either way, this drink will help you achieve your goals whether you’re taking it for sport, cognition (as a replacement for coffee), for recovery, or for diet and fasting.

HVMN Ketone Pros & Cons

Pros:

  • Performance Boost - This drink gives you the strength and energy to go faster for longer.
  • Faster Recovery - This natural fuel offers supernatural results when it comes to fast recovery.
  • Improved Focus - Cognitive improvements help you perform at your best.
  • Easy Usage - Just drink the ketones and go!
  • Instant Results - You achieve a state of ketosis in just a few minutes.

Cons:

  • High Price - This is a highly-priced sports performance drink due to the process of creating it in a lab
  • Unusual Taste - The taste of the drink may not appeal to everyone and can be hard to stomach
  • Refueling Issues - Bottle design not user-friendly when refueling on the bike.

Having said that, HVMN is an extremely effective option that offers superior results to the majority of other sports performance drink (so, these may not really be ‘cons’ after all…)

The Final Verdict on HVMN Ketone

Most people achieve a state of ketosis - a period when the body starts to burn fat, instead of carbohydrates, for fuel - through a very strict diet regimen spanning several weeks. But for those who simply don’t have the time (or the inclination) to suffer through that excruciating process, HVMN Ketone Ester offers the perfect alternative. UPDATE: Now get the active Ketone Ester in HVMN from T Delta S (the original Oxford formula) NOW AVAILABLE.

By drinking your ketones, you immediately get a supply of energy that can boost endurance performance. Ketones can be burned at a lower oxygen cost than carbohydrates, meaning you will have more oxygen available to get to your working muscles. Carbohydrate stores can also be a limiting factor to performance because they tend to run out after a couple of hours. HVMN Ketone Ester solves this problem by sparing glycogen stores and providing an efficient fuel alternative!

This formula is designed to get you into a state of ketosis instantly, and you’ll be in that state for a period of 3 hours or more at a time. Since ketones are among the most efficient sources of energy when your body is pushed to the limits, it makes this formula extremely effective for athletes in endurance sports.

Is HVMN Ketone For You?

As an athlete, no one has to tell you just how taxing endurance performance can be. Long races, in particular, can be mentally exhausting. When you improve and sustain maximum cognitive performance during your exercise, you know that you’ll get results to match. This is why this HVMN sports performance drink is one of the best things you can do for yourself if you’re eager to achieve your personal best.

UPDATE: H.V.M.N. has released a new and improved version, called Ketone-IQ which reduces the cost per gram of ketones by 66%, vastly improves the taste, and keeps your ketones elevated for longer.
