Therapeutic Ketosis for Heart Failure

Therapeutic Ketosis for Heart Failure By: Marc Lobliner, IFBB Pro A recent state‑of‑the‑art review published in the Journal of Cardiac Failure (Kodur et al., 2025) shows that failing hearts naturally increase ketone oxidation as a survival mechanism for energy production. Small clinical trials have demonstrated that supplementing with ketones like beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) can improve heart function in patients with heart failure. The review highlights promising results for exogenous ketones in boosting cardiac output, stroke volume, and ejection fraction—metrics directly tied to heart performance. Key Insights from the Review Failing hearts suffer from an energy crisis. Normally, the heart burns glucose and fatty acids. But in heart failure, those pathways become inefficient. As a result, the heart shifts toward burning ketones, which are a more efficient and clean fuel. The most accessible and impactful ketone for this purpose is beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). Studies now show that even in the most compromised hearts, infusions of BHB lead to immediate improvements in pumping capacity,

Creatine and BHB: The Ultimate Performance Stack Backed by Science

Creatine and BHB: The Ultimate Performance Stack Backed by Science Why This Dual-Fuel System Could Be the Biggest Breakthrough in Fitness and Brain Health Since Protein By Marc Lobliner, IFBB Pro Creatine has dominated the performance supplement space for decades. BHB (beta-hydroxybutyrate), a powerful ketone body, has risen rapidly as a cognitive and metabolic enhancer. But combine the two? That’s where things get groundbreaking. Backed by over 20 years of sports nutrition research and dozens of peer-reviewed studies, this combo delivers an unmatched synergy of explosive strength, endurance, fat burning, cognitive sharpness, and cellular recovery. At Ambrosia, we’ve built our reputation on blending cutting-edge science with time-tested ingredients—and the creatine + BHB synergy is our biggest breakthrough yet. This isn’t hype. It’s science-backed, result-proven, and athlete-tested. And the best part? We’ve made it easier than ever to tap into this dual-fuel advantage with goBHB®, our premium exogenous ketone formula designed to elevate performance, sharpen mental focus, and support your fat-loss

Build the Perfect Pre-Workout Using goBHB — With and Without Stimulants​

Build the Perfect Pre-Workout Using goBHB — With and Without Stimulants By Marc Lobliner, IFBB Pro Your pre-workout determines your performance. It’s that simple. What you take before you train has a direct impact on how intensely you can push, how long you can last, and how quickly you recover. Over the past 20 years, I’ve tested nearly every pre-workout ingredient on the planet — from caffeine and citrulline to nootropics and adaptogens. But one ingredient that has consistently stood out — and remains criminally underused — is goBHB, a bioavailable exogenous ketone. goBHB isn’t just another energy ingredient. It’s a fuel source. A mental clarity enhancer. A performance optimizer. And for a significant portion of the training population — particularly the 30%+ of people who hit the gym after 5 p.m. — it’s the perfect solution for maximizing workouts without compromising sleep or recovery. This article is going to break down how goBHB works, why it belongs in your

goBHB®: The Future of Clean Energy – Why It Might Replace Caffeine in Your Next Drink

goBHB®: The Future of Clean Energy – Why It Might Replace Caffeine in Your Next Drink By: Marc Lobliner, IFBB Pro Let me be blunt: caffeine is a gift — but it’s also a crutch. We live in a society where energy drinks are being chugged like water, yet burnout, anxiety, and energy crashes are worse than ever. The irony is hard to miss. As someone who’s lived and breathed the supplement industry for decades, I’ve seen every energy ingredient come and go. Jitter bombs. Pixie-dusted herbs. Mega-stim cocktails that jack you up and leave you shattered. But every once in a while, something comes along that actually changes the game. And right now, goBHB® is that something. What Is goBHB®? goBHB stands for Beta-Hydroxybutyrate, a type of ketone body that your body naturally produces during periods of low carbohydrate intake, fasting, or intense endurance training. But you don’t need to be on a keto diet to benefit from it.

goBHB® and BDNF: Fuel Your Brain Like It Deserves​

goBHB® and BDNF: Fuel Your Brain Like It Deserves By: Marc Lobliner, IFBB Pro Let’s talk about something most people overlook when it comes to energy, focus, and long-term performance: your brain. Not just how sharp it feels today, but how well it holds up over time. That’s where goBHB® comes in—and specifically, what it does to a molecule called BDNF. This isn’t just another ingredient. This is real, clinical, bioavailable brain fuel—and it’s changing the game. What the heck is BDNF—and why should you care? BDNF stands for brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Think of it like Miracle-Gro for your brain. It helps grow new neurons, strengthens the ones you already have, and keeps your brain plastic—which means adaptable, sharp, and hard to break down. Low BDNF levels? You’re looking at a higher risk of depression, anxiety, Alzheimer’s, poor memory, and honestly, just not feeling like yourself. If you’re serious about your mental health, your focus, and long-term resilience, BDNF isn’t

goBHB Dosing: How Much You Need—And Why Even a Little Might Do A Lot

goBHB Dosing: How Much You Need—And Why Even a Little Might Do A Lot By: Marc Lobliner, IFBB Pro We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: goBHB® is a game-changer. As one of the most efficient and research-backed ketone fuels available, it supports performance, cognition, energy, appetite control, and more. But one question comes up over and over again: How much goBHB do I really need to feel the effects? Traditionally, doses of 6 to 12 grams per serving have been used in supplements and clinical studies. But here’s where things get interesting: we’ve seen mounting anecdotal evidence that doses as low as 250 to 500 milligrams can deliver noticeable benefits for certain users and specific goals. That doesn’t mean higher doses are ineffective—in fact, quite the opposite. Higher doses may amplify endurance, blood ketone levels, recovery, and anti-inflammatory effects. But it’s becoming clear that even small amounts of goBHB may offer meaningful support, especially for mental energy,
