The energy drink category has become absolutely loaded these past couple of years, thanks to established names expanding further, closely related brands expanding into the space, and newcomers trying their hand at the industry. The beverage we have in the spotlight here is certainly not one we saw coming, primarily due to the company behind it being so distant with REV7, a diverse, functional energy drink from the pillow manufacturer MyPillow.
The energy drink market has long been dominated by caffeine-based products, which, while effective, often lead to undesirable side effects like sleep disturbances and energy crashes. Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), a ketone body, offers a clean and sustained energy source without the drawbacks of traditional stimulants. It provides actual cellular energy by directly fueling the mitochondria, bypassing the need for glucose and avoiding overstimulation.
Beyond its energy-boosting capabilities, BHB has been shown to improve sleep quality, making it an ideal ingredient for evening consumption. This positions BHB as a game-changer in the functional beverage industry, catering to consumers seeking effective, stimulant-free energy solutions. With its dual benefits of enhancing both energy and sleep, BHB is poised to redefine the landscape of energy drinks and functional beverages.
In an insightful interview with Investment Reports, Rob Rogers, a key figure at Ketone Labs, dives into the development and manufacturing process behind their flagship ingredient, goBHB. Rogers explains how goBHB, a bio-identical form of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB)—the body’s most abundant ketone—is produced through a natural fermentation process, setting it apart in the ketone supplement market. He highlights the ingredient’s authenticity and effectiveness, emphasizing Ketone Labs’ commitment to mirroring the body’s natural ketone production. This conversation offers a deep look into the science and innovation driving the growing interest in ketone supplementation for health and performance.
Can you explain the development and manufacturing process behind your flagship ingredient, goBHB, and what sets it apart in the ketone supplement market?
BHB, or beta-hydroxybutyrate, is one of three ketones produced by the body, alongside acetoacetate and acetone. Among these, BHB is the most abundant and serves as the cornerstone of our innovation. At Ketone Labs, we’ve developed a 100% bio-identical ketone that mirrors what the body naturally produces. Our BHB is created through a natural fermentation process, ensuring its authenticity and effectiveness.
The challenge with ketones is that the modern diet, rich in carbohydrates, limits the body’s production of these compounds. Historically, achieving significant ketone levels required adherence to a strict low-carb or ketogenic diet, which is notoriously difficult. With our supplements—offered in powders, gummies, capsules, gels or drinks—individuals can now access the benefits of ketones without the need for restrictive dietary changes, opening up a world of possibilities for improved metabolic health.
30% of people who work out do so after 6 PM—the worst time to take a caffeinated pre-workout.
Now, you can fuel your evening workouts with a BHB-powered pre-workout that delivers energy without caffeine. When combined with glucose, it provides a dual-fuel effect for peak performance. Plus, BHB supports better sleep and reduced inflammation, so you wake up refreshed and soreness-free.
New Study Revealed
Last week we teased the latest study, now we’re excited to share the full results. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial has confirmed that daily intake of D-BHB significantly improves sleep quality in healthy adults.
Key Findings
Better Mornings Reduced sleepiness upon waking
Improved Sleep Patterns Enhanced sleep initiation and maintenance
Refreshed Wake Ups Higher scores for feeling rejuvenated in the morning
This study marks a pivotal step in understanding how D-BHB supports better rest, recovery, and overall wellness.
