Ketone drink, high altitude, and brain blood flow during exercise
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a ketone monoester supplement affects brain blood flow and exercise performance at high altitude. It may help us understand how to support brain function during altitude exposure.
