“Ordered out of curiosity. Gave one to a friend as well as we headed out cycling. Took them just before leaving. He noted a tingly sensation in his legs after few minutes. We both felt like we got an extra gear after about an hour that was there for the rest of the 2.5 hour ride (tempo pace). I noticed a ketone taste (familiar with from fasting back in my wrestling days 35 years ago) that was present for 4-5 days so don't know if body was harvesting more fats than normal afterwards. Would use again on really long hard rides or races.”
“I’m a believer!! Did a 110 mile bike ride and my energy level couldn’t have been any better. Felt strong from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this magic in a bottle.”
“This version of HVMN ketone ester is WAY EASIER to drink than the previous version. I never was able to drink an entire bottle of the old stuff. That said, the new version is still gross, and it takes me about 10 minutes to sip my way through a whole bottle (lots of water in between sips). But I do it because it actually works. I have a job which is half creative, half analytical, and sometimes the creative part of my brain won't show up when I need it to and vice versa. This stuff works.”
“This stuff is incredible. I came home to SF mentally and physically exhausted after a day of catching up with friends in the East Bay, and decided to try out the bottle I'd ordered.
I drank only half of it. One half hour later, I was zeroing my couple-weeks-stale email inbox without feeling like I was really exerting much willpower to do so. I zeroed my inbox, and started playing around with my ukulele; I felt more alert and focused and able to concentrate on both strumming and singing, something I'd found more difficult to practice simultaneously before.
Excited to test the limits of this new toy, I then decided to meet up with my friend at his house a 30-minute walk away by running. I live on a hill but basically never run. I was able to maintain at least a fastwalk, and more than half of the time a running pace, for the entire 20 minutes that it took me to reach him.
And that was half a bottle!
For those familiar with Spoon Theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoon_theory), I would describe HVMN Ketone as **the closest thing to liquid spoons** that I have ever experienced. For those unfamiliar with Spoon Theory, that's a high compliment.
It doesn't taste *that* bad.
I am grateful for HVMN's use of stevia over artificial sweeteners, since most artificial sweeteners actually make things taste *worse* to me.
On a sidenote, I would be interested in a product that was just straight HVMN Ketone without the flavor and stevia, because I would then mix it in with my earl grey tea every morning.
All in all: 100% worth it. I only wish I could afford it more frequently. I'll be buying more once mine runs out, and rationing it out to myself as much as feels like the right money/spoons tradeoff. Maybe 1/month.”
