“So far after 3 full bottles, here are my reactions...I took 1 full bottle prior to weight training for over 1 hour 20 minutes. I felt pretty good during the workout but not anymore than I usually do. I did not feel the clarity or additional focus everyone claims to get. It did boost my blood ketones from .8 to 1.6. However, my blood ketones are usually higher after working out since I workout while in a fasted state.
2nd dose was before 2 hours of Mixed Martial Art training, as a now retired fighter, age 45, I expected to feel very good clarity and an energy boost. I was disappointed, once again I didn’t feel any different than usual. (I train during a fasted state). Blood ketones did go from 1.2 to 2.0, but then dropped to .8 within a few hours afterward.
3rd dose was before 2 hours of sparring/full contact kickboxing and bag training. Once again I felt alright but I wouldn’t say I felt a significant change, boost if energy or more focus. I had not slept well the night before so that may have had some impact on my results. Blood ketones were up to 2.4 after training though.
I’ve been on a keto meal plan for over 2 years and this past 8 months I have had a harder time staying in ketosis. I have been very strict on my macronutrients and balancing my food very well but still struggling to get the same great results I did on Year 1. I was hoping HVMN would provide another helpful and healthy option to keep my energy and focus up as well as keep me in a more steady state of ketosis.
So far I am dissatisfied with the product especially considering the rave reviews and cost. I’m not willing to give up just yet as a purchased a large quantity. I will continue to test it out at different times of the day as well. I’m unsure if I would purchase again based on my current results.”
“Thought about going 4 stars but only due to cost and taste but had to stick with 5 as it works so well and you get used to the taste and per my MD (who suggested I try this) I only use 5-10ml per dose so that helps with cost and I can feel a difference in focus and stamina.”
“Still trying experimenting with the Ketone ester. Getting ready for 2020 master sprints Speedskating in Calgary Canada at the end of the month. Last year I won the Championships, hopefully I’ll be able to do it again.”
“I have used HVMN Ketone Ester for several road and mountain bike races. I find that it helps me sustain power and endurance on long races without relying on constant feeding. Although the taste of it is not very pleasant it does not impact my stomach or cause any negative side effects. I would recommend this product for any serious cyclist that competes and wants a legal competitive advantage.”
