Recent scientific findings are drawing a sharp line between two popular ketone supplement ingredients: 1,3-butanediol and goBHB®. A newly published peer-reviewed study warns that 1,3-butanediol—an alcohol often marketed as a “ketone”—may cause liver inflammation, fat accumulation, and metabolic stress. In contrast, goBHB® not only supports healthy liver function but dramatically elevates ketone levels, energy production, and metabolic performance.

This post breaks down the research, highlights expert opinions, compares user experiences, and explains why goBHB® delivers significantly higher and more reliable results. If you use or formulate ketone products, this is essential reading.
