The ratios of D/L arise from the specific physiological and biochemical needs addressed by each subcategory.
While the main category sets the overarching theme—such as energy optimization for goBHB® Active or cognitive enhancement for goBHB® Neuro—each subcategory within it focuses on a distinct aspect of performance or health that requires tailored support.
For example, within goBHB Active, performance-focused subcategories may prioritize D-BHB for immediate ATP production, while recovery-oriented subcategories may benefit from a slightly higher proportion of L-BHB to aid in inflammation management and oxidative stress reduction.
Similarly, in goBHB Neuro, cognition and focus might emphasize balanced ratios for sustained energy and neurotransmitter modulation, whereas sleep requires greater L-BHB for its role in mood stabilization and neuroprotection.
These variations ensure that each subcategory receives a ratio optimized for its unique demands. By addressing the nuanced requirements of each subcategory, the formulas achieve precision and flexibility within a unified framework.
goBHB® Active
goBHB Active reflects the need for an energy-dominant composition that also incorporates signaling support for recovery and stress adaptation. D-BHB is heavily involved in ATP production, which is critical for athletic performance, endurance, and pre-workout energy. It ensures the body has sufficient immediate energy for physical activities by directly supporting mitochondrial function.
However, L-BHB contributes to oxidative stress mitigation and muscle recovery, as demonstrated in our neurotransmitter study. The L-BHB component helps regulate glutamate and GABA balance, reducing excitotoxicity and stabilizing neural networks during and after intense physical exertion. This ratio provides a synergistic blend, ensuring sustained performance while minimizing oxidative damage.

goBHB® Pet — D:L Ratio 90/10
goBHB Pet reflects a highly conservative approach, emphasizing the naturally occurring D-BHB enantiomer, which is critical for energy metabolism in animals. D-BHB is naturally produced in animals during periods of fasting or ketosis, making it a safe and efficient energy substrate.
goBHB® Gaming — D:L Ratio 70/30
goBHB Gaming emphasizes sustained energy production to support prolonged focus and mental stamina required during intense gaming sessions. D-BHB fuels cognitive functions by enhancing mitochondrial efficiency and dopamine production, which are critical for sustained attention and reaction times. The L-BHB supports neurotransmitter balance, reducing stress and maintaining emotional stability under competitive conditions.
goBHB® Keto — D:L Ratio 80/20
goBHB Keto aligns with the ketogenic state’s emphasis on D-BHB as the primary energy substrate replacing glucose. D-BHB efficiently supports mitochondrial ATP production, sustaining energy levels and fueling metabolic processes during ketosis. The smaller inclusion of L-BHB provides complementary benefits, such as mild neuroprotection and anti-inflammatory effects.
