BHB = INSTANT, UNRIVALED EFFICACY
goBHB-RTD is a proprietary and patented aqueous blend of pure BHB acid and BHB-K salt. goBHB-RTD is unique due to its exceptional bioavailability. It is our fastest absorbing liquid BHB blend designed to deliver an immediate BHB elevation that is noticeably experienced in seconds following ingestion.
WHY DOES goBHB-RTD HAVE SUCH UNIQUE “DUAL ACTION” ABSORPTION CAPABILITIES?
goBHB-RTD exhibits the distinctive dual ability to be absorbed both sublingually and gastrointestinally. This not only delivers an instantaneous and perceptible impact through sublingual absorption; the absorption through the stomach further elevates and sustains its effects. Finally, BHB does not need to be broken down by the liver, resulting in even quicker absorption and the delivery of clean ketone energy directly into the blood stream and to the cells. goBHB-RTD delivers fast fuel to the body and brain.
WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LIPID SOLUBILITY AND SPEED OF ABSORPTION?
BHB is highly lipid-soluble (able to dissolve in lipids or fats), it is the most lipid soluble ketone body, meaning that it can be quickly and completely dissolved and absorbed through the tissues of the mouth. BHB effortlessly crosses through cell membranes and is transported into the bloodstream to provide energy for cellular utilization, throughout the body, targeting the brain, heart, kidneys, and the entire central nervous system. In addition, BHB delivers 2.5 times the ATP (cellular energy) and requires no transport mechanism, produces more power and uses less oxygen compared with glucose. goBHB-RTD delivers fast fuel to the body and brain.
Highly lipid-soluble substances can be absorbed sublingually. Sublingual (‘Under the tongue’) absorption is the process of absorbing substances through the cell walls of the mouth. The substance, such as lipid soluble BHB, gets absorbed and dissolved into the mucous membranes in the mouth. The tiny blood capillaries under the tongue allow rapid absorption of BHB directly into the system, while bypassing the gastrointestinal tract and liver.
This allows an unrivalled speed of delivering energy to cells. For the consumer, this translates to a perceptible feeling just a few seconds after ingesting our goBHB-RTD. This makes our formula remarkably powerful and unique—and the consumer will notice the elevation in energy and focus immediately.
HOW CAN NOOTROPICS, LIKE CAFFEINE COMPLEMENT THE POWER OF goBHB-RTD’S?
Nootropics (aka ‘Smart Drugs”) are predominantly absorbed through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. They are designed to be broken down in the stomach and intestines, where the active ingredients are absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to the brain. Thus, in combination with goBHB-RTD, they act
to further the duration and intensify the effects of goBHB-RTD. Nootropics, like caffeine, are central nervous system stimulants that can increase alertness, improve mood, and enhance physical performance by stimulating neurons.
However, nootropics do not provide any real cellular energy (ATP) and this is where the beauty of combining BHB with caffeine comes in.
Caffeine being a nootropic stimulant works by blocking the action of adenosine, a neurotransmitter that promotes sleep and suppresses arousal. This can provide neuronal activity providing a sense of alertness and upregulation of brain activity in the short term.
Beta hydroxybutyrate (BHB), on the other hand, is a macronutrient molecule that provides true cellular energy (ATP) and has been scientifically proven to improve cognitive function and demonstrates neuroprotective effects through feeding the brain with actual energy. This energy provides a much longer term brain activity.
CAFFEINE + BHB SYNERGIES INCREASE EFFICACY
Caffeine and BHB can work synergistically by enhancing cognitive function through two different biochemical mechanisms. While both compounds have been shown to improve cognitive performance, they accomplish it differently and thus act as symbiotic catalysts and increase each other’s effects. In our studies, we have observed that on consuming caffeine with BHB, you experience the stimulating benefits of caffeine without the so called “crash” once caffeine’s effect dissipates.
BHB also has another powerful synergistic effect on caffeine. BHB appears to offset caffeine’s overstimulating capacity to cause the “jitters”, which translates too often to headaches, nausea, anxiety, once the adenosine blocking effect of caffeine disappears.
Another possible synergy of caffeine and BHB is through their combined effects on energy metabolism. Caffeine has been shown to increase metabolism and fat oxidation, while BHB itself is a potent fat-burning ketone. Together, these effects could lead to increased energy generation as well as fat loss.
goBHB-RTD delivers dual bioavailability of clean and sustained energy combined with the synergistic impact of caffeine. goBHB-RTD presents a unique opportunity that delivers unrivaled instant, yet long lasting energy for consumers.
CONCLUSION
With or without nootropics, goBHB-RTD provide the highest energy formulation for RTD’s that can be easily felt in its effects. It provides the ONLY true replacement for RTD’s containing sugar, and trumps any caffeinated RTD because of its ability to provide true cellular energy, not just neuronal stimulation that ends in a “crash.”
