ElectroGenic

Metabolic Electrolytes & Ketones

ElectroGenic, a blend of electrolytes and exogenous ketones, enhances optimal physical and mental performance. This combination of essential minerals and ketones balances electrolytes while promoting both cellular metabolism and ketosis.

How ElectroGenic Works

ElectroGenic offers a balanced blend of ketone bodies bound to various forms of
electrolytes to support ketosis, energy production, neurocognitive function, physical
performance, and cardiometabolic health. It also includes amino acids that aid in
maintaining healthy weight and metabolic function. This refined formula provides the
support needed for maintaining ketosis and achieving overall wellness goals.

Benefits of ElectroGenic:

• Supports Ketosis
• Replenish Electrolytes
• Boost Mental Performance
• Optimizes Hydration
• Enhances Physical Performance
• Improves Mental Clarity
• Support Bone Health
• Suppresses Appetite to Achieve Weight Management Goals
  
• Protect Against Neurodegenerative Decline
• Preserve Cardiometabolic Homeostasis

Key Elements and Features of ElectroGenic

• Support a Ketogenic Metabolic State: Supplementing with exogenous ketones can support a ketogenic metabolic state by providing an immediate source of ketones. The transition into ketosis can take time, and during this period, energy levels may fluctuate. Exogenous ketones can help bridge this gap by supplying the body with ketones directly, enhancing energy availability, and potentially reducing the symptoms of "keto flu". Additionally, they can help maintain ketosis even if carbohydrate intake is slightly higher than usual, thus supporting metabolic flexibility and aiding overall adaptation to a ketogenic state.
• Protect Cardiometabolic Health: Taking exogenous ketones can protect cardiometabolic health by providing a steady source of ketones, which helps stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce insulin resistance, both of which are key factors in metabolic health. By lowering glucose and insulin spikes, exogenous ketones reduce the strain on the cardiovascular system, potentially decreasing the risk of heart disease. Additionally, ketones can improve mitochondrial efficiency, leading to better energy production and reduced oxidative stress, which are both beneficial for heart health. This supplementation helps maintain a metabolic state that contributes to overall cardiometabolic protection.
  
• Replenish Electrolytes: Consuming electrolytes is crucial during ketosis because the ketogenic diet can lead to increased excretion of electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium due to reduced insulin levels and decreased carbohydrate intake. This loss can lead to imbalances and symptoms like muscle cramps, fatigue, dizziness, and the "keto flu." Replenishing these essential minerals through electrolyte supplementation helps maintain proper hydration, nerve function, and muscle contraction, ensuring the body adapts smoothly to ketosis while avoiding common discomforts associated with electrolyte imbalances.
• Enhance Cognitive and Physical Performance: Exogenous ketones can protect the brain and enhance both cognitive and physical performance by providing a readily available, efficient energy source. Ketones can cross the blood-brain barrier, offering an alternative fuel to glucose, which is particularly beneficial during periods of low carbohydrate intake or energy deficits. This can lead to improved mental clarity, focus, and cognitive resilience. Additionally, exogenous ketones help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain, potentially protecting against neurodegenerative diseases. Physically, ketones provide sustained energy, enhancing endurance and performance, especially during high-intensity activities, by sparing muscle glycogen and improving recovery.
