Ketone drink and its effect on sleep and breathing
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking a ketone drink affects sleep and breathing in healthy adults. It is a small, early-stage trial at Johns Hopkins University.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if a special drink with ketones can change how you breathe. It's for healthy people who don't have sleep or breathing problems.
This study tests if a special nutritional supplement (ketones) can help your body stay resilient when you don't get enough sleep. If you join, you'll follow a specific diet and have your sleep and health monitored for about 9 weeks.
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 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 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.
