BHB Salt

Category: ketone

Aliases: Mineral-BHB, Generic ketone salt

Pharmacological Mechanism

Generic category — specific salts (sodium_bhb, potassium_bhb, calcium_bhb, magnesium_bhb) have individual entries. All deliver racemic (R + S) BHB → only the R-form is metabolically active. Raise plasma BHB to 0.5–1 mmol/L for 1–3 h. High cation load is the principal limitation — 10 g of BHB-Na delivers ~2.3 g sodium (a day's worth).
