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 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 daily supplement can improve memory and thinking in healthy older adults. It aims to see if the supplement supports brain function as we age.
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.
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.
