Ketone drink study: how it affects gut bacteria in healthy adults
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests how a ketone ester drink changes the bacteria in your gut. You'll drink the supplement and fill out questionnaires online. It's for healthy adults who want to help researchers understand gut health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how your body processes “ketones,” which are energy molecules that rise with fasting or low carbohydrate intake. You may be asked to follow strict diet and activity rules before test days so researchers can see what affects ketone metabolism.
This study tests whether a special ketone drink can help older adults who are starting to feel frail (slower walking, less energy). You would be assigned to one of several groups, and researchers will check if the drink improves your strength and daily function.
This trial tests how a ketone drink affects the brain in healthy middle-aged adults. It may help researchers understand if ketones can support brain function.
This study tests whether a drink containing ketone esters affects how people think and behave. It's for healthy, active adults who are not on any regular medication and have no major health conditions. You must also speak German fluently.
This trial tests whether a ketone monoester drink can change how your body builds muscle protein. It may help researchers understand if these supplements could benefit muscle health.
This early-stage study compares how quickly and effectively a low-carbohydrate diet versus taking ketone supplements helps the heart use less sugar (measured with PET/CT scans). It also looks at how long it takes to reach a “ketosis” state, which may be helpful for metabolic health.
