Studying ketone supplements and brain health
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 65 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 30.
- You are not currently on a keto diet or taking ketone supplements.
- You can fast overnight before each test session.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any MRI contraindications.
- You do not have conditions like high blood pressure, alcoholism, drug use, neurological disease, or take certain medications.

This study tests whether a special ketone drink can improve exercise ability and heart function in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will have two treadmill exercise tests and heart MRI scans to see how the drink affects their performance and cardiac efficiency.
This trial tests whether a daily supplement of beta-hydroxybutyrate (a ketone body) can help support brain health in older adults who are still thinking clearly. It compares the supplement to a placebo over several months, and checks changes in brain function and energy use.
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 study tests whether a drink containing ketones (a natural energy source for the brain) can improve thinking and memory. It involves three groups: people with obesity, lean people, and athletes.
This study tests whether a ketone-based treatment (a ketone ester) can change brain activity in people with alcohol use disorder who are not currently seeking treatment. You may also have brain scans, so the study is looking for safe MRI eligibility and certain health factors.
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.
