The Hidden Dangers of 1,3 Butanediol | Why goBHB Is the Only Ketone That Works

Why 1,3-Butanediol Might Be Doing You More Harm Than Good — And Why goBHB® Is the Only Ketone That Actually Works

By: Marc Lobliner, IFBB Pro

 

Let’s cut through the hype.

 

You’ve probably seen ketone supplements all over your feed, with companies promising more energy, mental clarity, fat loss, and athletic performance. And yeah, ketones can be powerful. But not all ketones are created equal — and some of the stuff being pushed today could actually hurt you in the long run. I’m talking specifically about 1,3-butanediol.

 

 

What is 1,3-Butanediol, and Why Are People Using It?

 

1,3-butanediol (BDO) is a synthetic alcohol compound that your liver can convert into beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), one of the main ketones your body uses during ketosis.

 

On the surface, it sounds good. A shortcut to ketones without changing your diet? But here’s the problem — BDO isn’t a ketone. It’s a precursor that your liver has to process, and that process can be messy, inefficient, and potentially dangerous.

 

 

The Research is Clear: Long-Term 1,3-Butanediol Use Can Be Toxic

 

Animal studies show that high doses of 1,3-butanediol — around 20% concentration in water — can cause metabolic acidosis. That’s a condition where your blood becomes too acidic, which can be seriously harmful. On top of that, researchers found signs of liver stress: sinusoidal dilation, abnormal liver weight, and disrupted organ function

(Soto et al., 2022 – Nutrients).

 

Even at lower doses (5–10%), it didn’t significantly elevate BHB levels. So now you’re taking something that either doesn’t work — or works at a dose that wrecks your liver. That’s a no-go.

 

 

You Might Feel Something… But It’s Not Ketosis

 

Some users report a buzz, dizziness, or even mild euphoria after taking BDO. That’s not enhanced cognition or focus — that’s the alcohol-like effects of the compound. Because let’s not forget: 1,3-butanediol is a diol alcohol. It’s structurally more similar to antifreeze than actual ketones.

 

In a 2023 study, people taking it reported nausea and dizziness, especially when the dose wasn’t split into smaller portions

(Smith et al., 2023 – Frontiers in Physiology).

 

 

And Let’s Be Honest… It Tastes Like Trash

 

Forget what the label says. No amount of sweeteners or flavor masking can hide the fact that 1,3-butanediol tastes awful. It’s been described as bitter, oily, and metallic — almost like nail polish remover with a dash of syrup.

 

Taste might not seem like the biggest issue, but if you have to choke it down every time, you’re not going to stay consistent. And if the only way to make it “palatable” is by burying it under a ton of artificial junk, what’s the point?

 

goBHB®, on the other hand, is actually easy to flavor — and you can take it consistently without gagging.

 

 

Here’s the Truth: goBHB® Is the Only Real Ketone Supplement Worth Taking

 

goBHB® is actual beta-hydroxybutyrate — the real ketone your body uses. It’s not a precursor. It doesn’t need to be processed by your liver. Your body absorbs and uses it immediately.

 

Research shows that goBHB®:

                      Raises blood ketone levels rapidly and consistently

(Ratelle et al., 2021 – Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition)

                      Improves mental focus and clarity

                      Reduces perceived exertion during workouts

                      Supports blood sugar and metabolic health

 

It’s safe, it works fast, and it’s been studied in both adults and adolescents. No liver stress. No acid buildup. No alcohol-like side effects.

 

 

So Why Are Companies Still Pushing 1,3-Butanediol?

 

Because it’s cheaper and because they pay people to talk about it – that’s it.

 

You’re paying for that shortcut with your health — and your taste buds. That’s not acceptable.

 

When I create a supplement — whether it’s protein, creatine, or ketones — I only use ingredients I’d give to my family. I trust goBHB® because it works. It’s safe. And it’s what the research supports.

 

 

Final Take

 

If you want real ketone energy without the risk, go with goBHB®. It’s the only exogenous ketone that delivers what it promises — clean energy, sharper focus, and real results without the nasty side effects, liver toxicity, or disgusting taste.

 

1,3-butanediol? Leave it where it belongs — in a chemistry lab.

The Dual Fuel Effect: Ketones and Carbs Together for Peak Performance

The Dual Fuel Effect: Ketones and Carbs Together for Peak Performance

By Marc Lobliner, IFBB Pro


When most people hear “goBHB,” they immediately think “keto.”

And sure, beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is a ketone body that supports ketosis. But let me let you in on a little secret: you don’t need to be keto to benefit from goBHB. In fact, those who follow a carbohydrate-inclusive diet might actually see even greater performance and recovery benefits thanks to what I call the “dual fuel advantage.”

Let’s break this down with science, real-world application, and the brutal honesty you expect from me.


The dual fuel advantage: glucose + ketones

Glucose is your fast-acting fuel. It gives you that “go now” energy. Ketones, especially BHB, are your long-burn, high-efficiency fuel. Now imagine you’re getting the quick power of glucose and the sustained energy of BHB at the same time. That’s like running a hybrid engine that switches between turbo and endurance mode on demand.

This isn’t just bro-science. BHB generates more energy per unit than glucose. In fact:

  • 1 molecule of BHB yields 279 kcal, while glucose yields only 248 kcal.

  • 1g of ketone (fat-derived) generates 2.5x more ATP than 1g of carbohydrate.

So whether you’re doing intense resistance training, endurance work, or daily physical output, BHB enhances performance regardless of your diet.


Not just fuel: what the science says

1. reduced oxidative stress

Intense training increases reactive oxygen species (ROS), which damage tissue and slow recovery. BHB actively reduces oxidative stress by boosting your internal antioxidant defenses.

“Ketone bodies, stress response, and redox homeostasis” – Redox Biology (2020)

2. enhanced mitochondrial function

Your mitochondria are your cellular engines. Studies show BHB enhances mitochondrial efficiency and even promotes mitochondrial biogenesis (creating more energy-producing organelles).

“Ketogenic diet decreases oxidative stress and improves mitochondrial respiratory complex activity” – Journal of Neurotrauma (2015)

3. decreased inflammation

Acute inflammation post-exercise is normal. Chronic inflammation? That’s a performance killer. BHB helps dial down the chronic stuff while allowing the good stress adaptations to happen.

“Ketone bodies: from enemy to friend and guardian angel” – BMC Medicine (2021)

4. improved muscle protein synthesis

An often-overlooked benefit: BHB enhances muscle protein synthesis (MPS), which is key to building and retaining lean mass.

“Effect of beta-hydroxybutyrate on whole-body leucine kinetics and fractional mixed skeletal muscle protein synthesis in humans” – The Journal of Clinical Investigation (1988)


BHB + carbs = the real secret weapon

Most people assume that BHB competes with glucose. That’s wrong. It complements it.

Think of it this way:

  • Glucose fuels explosive movement, sprinting, jumping, and anaerobic efforts.

  • BHB fuels endurance, mental clarity, and efficient fat metabolism.

When combined? You can delay fatigue, extend time to exhaustion, and recover faster. This isn’t theory — it’s backed by performance studies:

  • BHB improved time-trial performance and reduced lactate buildup in cyclists.

“Nutritional Ketosis Alters Fuel Preference and Thereby Endurance Performance in Athletes” – Cell Metabolism (2016)

  • Runners who supplemented with BHB increased time to exhaustion and improved cognitive function.

“The Effects of a Ketogenic Diet on Exercise Metabolism and Physical Performance in Off-Road Cyclists” – Nutrients (2014)

  • Dual substrate use (glucose + BHB) allowed for greater energy output and lower metabolic stress than either fuel alone.

“Acute Ketone Salts–Caffeine–Taurine–Leucine Supplementation Improves Endurance Cycling Performance” – International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism (2022)

This dual-fuel strategy mirrors how hybrid cars work: glucose for short bursts, BHB for long range.


Recovery amplified

BHB doesn’t stop at performance. It keeps working long after your last rep:

faster glycogen replenishment

BHB accelerates glycogen synthesis, meaning your muscles refill faster post-exercise.

less muscle soreness

Markers like creatine kinase (CK) and C-reactive protein (CRP) drop faster with BHB use, showing less inflammation and damage.

“The effects of ketogenic diet on oxidative stress and antioxidative capacity markers of Taekwondo athletes” – Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation (2014)

neurological recovery

Training hits your brain too. BHB supports brain recovery by promoting neurogenesis and reducing inflammation in the CNS.

“Novel ketone diet enhances physical and cognitive performance” – Scientific Reports (2016)

better sleep and mood

Because BHB influences neurotransmitters like GABA and dopamine, many users report calmer evenings and deeper sleep, helping your next-day readiness.


Timing, dosing, and application

You don’t need to go full keto to benefit from goBHB. Here’s how to time it:

  • Pre-workout: Combine goBHB with carbs and caffeine for dual-fuel performance.

  • Intra-workout: Take goBHB during long sessions to reduce oxidative stress and delay fatigue.

  • Post-workout: Add to your carb/protein shake to improve glycogen restoration and muscle repair.

Typical dose: 6g–12g per day depending on intensity and duration.


The bottom line: not just for keto bros

goBHB is not a “keto supplement.”

It’s a performance molecule that supports energy production, recovery, mental clarity, and metabolic flexibility. Whether you’re a CrossFitter, powerlifter, MMA athlete, or just someone who trains hard and eats smart — goBHB works for you.

Let the keto crowd keep it as their secret weapon. You now know better.

Carb eaters, meet your new edge.

BHB and Kidney Health: Game-Changing New Evidence

BHB and Kidney Health: Game-Changing New Evidence

By, Marc Lobliner, IFBB Pro

When it comes to protecting your kidneys, the conversation has always revolved around controlling blood pressure, managing blood sugar, and reducing oxidative stress. All important — but now we have a powerful new tool backed by real science: beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB).

And the evidence is stacking up fast.

In a landmark 2024 study published in Heliyon, researchers demonstrated that supplementing with BHB significantly improved markers of kidney function in a rodent model of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
👉 (Study link)

Key findings included:

  • Lower serum creatinine and BUN levels — major signs of improved kidney filtration.

  • Reduced inflammatory cytokines — directly targeting one of the root causes of kidney damage.

  • Enhanced antioxidant defenses — neutralizing free radicals that destroy kidney tissue.

  • Suppression of fibrosis-related pathways — slowing scarring inside the kidney.

Translation:
BHB didn’t just slow disease progression — it actively supported kidney tissue repair and protection.

But that’s not the only game-changing study.

In a 2022 study led by Bernard Cuenoud and researchers at Nestlé Health Science, it was demonstrated that the kidneys (and the heart) actively and preferentially uptake exogenous BHB for energy.
👉 (Study: Metabolism of Exogenous D-Beta-Hydroxybutyrate: An Energy Substrate Avidly Consumed by the Heart and Kidney)

Here’s what they found:

  • When BHB was introduced into the bloodstream, the kidney rapidly consumed it as a direct energy source.

  • BHB uptake by the kidneys was even more efficient than glucose under certain conditions.

  • This metabolic preference was observed even in healthy, non-keto-adapted individuals, showing BHB’s versatility.

This is massive.

It means BHB isn’t just protecting the kidneys from inflammation —
It’s literally fueling them.

Healthy energy metabolism is critical in kidneys because these organs are high-energy-demand machines.
When kidneys are stressed — whether from chronic disease, toxins, or age — they often suffer from energy deficits, leading to faster dysfunction and death of nephrons (kidney filtration cells).

BHB can fill that gap, giving the kidneys a clean-burning, antioxidant-rich fuel that directly supports their survival and performance.

Why This Changes Everything

We already knew BHB could:

  • Suppress chronic inflammation (blocking NLRP3 inflammasome activation)

  • Fight oxidative stress

  • Promote autophagy to clean up cellular debris

  • Boost mitochondrial biogenesis for better cellular energy

Now, thanks to studies like Cuenoud et al., we know BHB also fuels the kidneys directly, acting almost like a performance enhancer for stressed or aging renal tissue.

And the kicker?
This energy support happens without requiring a ketogenic diet — you can supplement goBHB™ directly and get these benefits even if you’re eating carbs.

This is why companies like Santa Barbara Nutrients are incorporating goBHB™ into cutting-edge kidney health formulations.
They aren’t just playing defense against kidney decline — they’re helping recharge the system at the metabolic level.

BHB lowers inflammation
BHB protects kidney tissues
BHB fuels kidneys directly
BHB promotes longevity pathways

The data is no longer just promising — it’s downright transformational.

The Cholesterol-Controlling Power of goBHB®: The Only Patented Ketone Backed by Real Science

The Cholesterol-Controlling Power of goBHB®: The Only Patented Ketone Backed by Real Science

By: Marc Lobliner, IFBB Pro

Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) isn’t just for keto dieters anymore. This powerful ketone body—specifically in its patented form, goBHB®—is emerging as one of the most exciting natural tools for supporting healthy cholesterol levels, cardiovascular function, and metabolic health.

Whether you’re following a ketogenic diet or not, the data is stacking up: goBHB® may help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol, and support your heart health in ways few ingredients can match.

And here’s what makes it even more compelling: goBHB® is the only BHB supplement with full patent protection and human clinical studies behind it.

Let’s dive into the science—and why goBHB® is the superior choice for cardiovascular and metabolic support.

What Is goBHB®?

goBHB® is a patented, highly bioavailable form of exogenous beta-hydroxybutyrate ketone salts. Unlike generic BHB on the market, goBHB® is the original, clinically studied version, protected by U.S. patents that ensure quality, absorption, and efficacy.

goBHB® isn’t just an energy source—it’s a metabolic signaler, a brain booster, and, as emerging research shows, a potential lipid-lowering compound.

 

The Cholesterol Crisis: LDL vs. HDL Explained

To understand how goBHB® helps, we first need to understand cholesterol basics:

  • LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) is known as the “bad” cholesterol. High levels can lead to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing heart disease risk.
  • HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) is the “good” cholesterol. It helps transport cholesterol away from arteries to the liver for disposal.

The goal? Lower LDL, raise HDL. And that’s where goBHB® comes in.

 

How goBHB® Affects Cholesterol: The Evidence

1. goBHB® Increases Cholesterol Transporter Proteins

In a 2022 study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, BHB supplementation in ApoE-deficient mice significantly upregulated the expression of cholesterol transporters like ABCA1, ABCG1, and SR-BI. These transporters play a key role in:

  • Removing excess cholesterol from the bloodstream
  • Shuttling cholesterol back to the liver
  • Boosting HDL formation

This mechanism helps explain BHB’s potential for raising HDL and reducing cardiovascular risk.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms23073788

 

2. goBHB® May Reduce LDL and Total Cholesterol in Real-World Use

In an animal study using Wistar rats, oral supplementation with BHB (in the goBHB®-equivalent form) was shown to:

  • Increase HDL cholesterol
  • Lower total cholesterol
  • Improve the LDL:HDL ratio

These changes indicate better lipid metabolism and cardiovascular protection.

Source: Sudheer et al., Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry, 2016.
DOI:
10.1007/s12291-016-0584-0

 

3. BHB Reduces Triglycerides and Atherogenic Lipids

A 2022 randomized trial published in Cell Reports Medicine showed that acute ketosis from ketone monoester supplementation (which elevates blood BHB levels) significantly reduced remnant lipoproteins and triglycerides—two markers directly tied to cardiovascular disease.

Though this study used ketone esters, it supports the cholesterol-lowering potential of elevated BHB in circulation.

Source: Soto-Mota et al., Cell Reports Medicine, 2022.
DOI: 10.1016/j.xcrm.2022.100765

 

goBHB® vs. Generic BHB: Why Patents Matter

There are dozens of ketone products on the market, but only goBHB® holds patents for:

  • Manufacturing and stabilization of BHB mineral salts
  • Proven bioavailability and metabolic activity
  • Clinical safety and efficacy in humans

That means when you choose goBHB®, you’re choosing the only form of BHB with legal protection, research-backed claims, and real quality control.

Generic BHB powders may look similar on a label—but they aren’t tested, standardized, or proven. goBHB® is the gold standard.

 

Stacking goBHB® with Creatine: A Dual Energy Strategy

One of the most exciting synergies in sports and metabolic nutrition today is combining goBHB® with creatine.

Creatine helps rapidly regenerate ATP through phosphocreatine, while goBHB® serves as a clean, oxidative energy substrate that bypasses glucose.

Together, they offer:

  • Dual energy pathways (anaerobic + aerobic)
  • Faster recovery
  • Greater endurance and output
  • Less muscle breakdown during extended training or caloric restriction

Whether you’re fasting, low-carb, or just want enhanced cognitive and physical performance, this is a stack that makes serious scientific sense.

 

Don’t Just Burn Fat—Protect Your Heart

goBHB® is more than just a ketone salt for quick energy. It’s a proven, patent-backed tool for better health—especially when it comes to cholesterol and cardiovascular function.

By raising HDL, lowering LDL, improving cholesterol transport, and reducing triglycerides, goBHB® is establishing itself as a true breakthrough in the metabolic health space.

If you care about performance, longevity, and heart health, this is the ketone you’ve been waiting for.

There’s a new performance-enhancing supplement in town—and no, it’s not another overhyped pre-workout or questionable stim blend. It’s something backed by science, trusted by top-tier formulators, and designed to work with your body, not against it.

It’s called goBHB, and it might be the most underrated ingredient on the market today.

What Is goBHB?

goBHB is the trademarked form of beta-hydroxybutyrate, a ketone body your liver naturally produces when glucose is scarce and your body turns to fat for fuel. But you don’t need to cut carbs or starve yourself to tap into its benefits—goBHB delivers clean, fast, bioavailable ketones in supplement form.

What makes goBHB different from generic BHB salts? Purity. Absorption. Real clinical research. It’s manufactured with performance and consistency in mind, and it’s trusted by major brands across sports nutrition, wellness, and cognitive health.

The Performance Edge: Why Athletes Are Turning to goBHB

We’ve all been told that carbs are the only fast fuel for performance. But goBHB changes the game by acting as a dual fuel—supporting your body and brain with clean-burning ketones even when glucose is low or inconsistent.

Research from Cox et al., 2016 showed that supplementing with exogenous ketones improved cycling performance by 2%, increased endurance, and spared glycogen. Whether you’re deep in prep, intermittent fasting, or just trying to push harder in the gym—goBHB can step in as an efficient, stable fuel source.

How goBHB Helps You Train Harder and Recover Faster

  1. Energy Without the Crash
    goBHB gives you sustained energy without spikes or crashes. No stimulants, no jitters, no burnout—just clean power you can feel.
  2. Mental Clarity and Focus
    goBHB crosses the blood-brain barrier and fuels neurons directly. That means sharper focus, faster reaction time, and less mental fatigue during long workdays or intense training.
  3. Preserves Muscle During Cutting or Fasting
    Ketones like goBHB have been shown to reduce muscle breakdown in calorie-deficit states (Evans et al., 2017). That means you can diet harder and retain more lean mass.
  4. Enhances Recovery
    goBHB helps reduce inflammation and post-workout soreness. It’s been shown to inhibit the NLRP3 inflammasome, a key driver of systemic inflammation (Youm et al., 2015).
  5. Fat Utilization Support
    While not a fat-burner per se, goBHB primes your metabolism to burn more fat by reducing your body’s reliance on sugar for fuel.

Why goBHB Over Generic BHB?

Not all BHB is created equal. goBHB is the gold standard—used by top-tier brands for a reason. It’s highly bioavailable, consistent in dosing, and manufactured to meet rigorous quality standards.

Generic BHB salts can be unbalanced, harsh on the stomach, and lack third-party testing. goBHB ensures you’re getting exactly what’s on the label—no hidden blends, no shady sourcing.

Stacking goBHB with Creatine: Dual Power for Maximum Gains

While creatine powers short bursts of strength and ATP regeneration, goBHB offers clean fuel for longer sessions, focus, and recovery. Stacking the two gives you the best of both energy systems.

Creatine fuels your immediate power output through the phosphagen system. BHB fuels sustained output through the Krebs cycle—delivering more ATP per molecule than glucose.

In practice, this stack helps you:

  • Increase total work volume and intensity
  • Recover faster between sets
  • Stay mentally locked in without stimulants
  • Train longer with less perceived exertion
  • Maintain muscle while dieting or fasted

Both are safe, well-studied, and synergistic. For athletes serious about performance, this is one of the cleanest, smartest stacks available today. In this case, 1+1=3 – they enhance one another exponentially!

Who Should Use goBHB?

  • Lifters on a cut who want to maintain strength and performance
  • Athletes training fasted or doing two-a-days
  • Professionals or students needing clean mental energy
  • Anyone seeking metabolic flexibility and smoother energy throughout the day

How to Use goBHB

  • Pre-Workout: Take 15–30 minutes before training for enhanced energy and endurance
  • Morning Focus: Use in place of stimulants for clean mental clarity
  • Fasted Cardio: Supports endurance and prevents muscle loss
  • Recovery: Stack with electrolytes post-workout to reduce soreness and inflammation

Typical dose: ~5 grams of goBHB salts per serving. Pairs perfectly with 3g–5g of creatine monohydrate or Creapure.

Conclusion: goBHB Isn’t Just for Keto—It’s for Everyone Who Trains Hard

Creatine built the foundation. goBHB adds the fuel. Whether you’re chasing muscle, performance, or mental sharpness, goBHB is the clean, modern upgrade your stack needs.

Ditch the crash, ditch the bloat, and level up your performance with science-backed energy from goBHB.
