Technology Overview
This novel invention introduces a series of molecules derived from amino acids, such as leucine esters and salts, that are metabolized to release ketone precursors and amino acids. These compounds are intended to serve as a flexible and accessible source of ketones, providing significant physiological benefits without the need for restrictive diets.
Key Advantages
- Provides a more accessible source of ketones than low-carbohydrate diets
- Enhances cognitive function and reduces oxidative stress
- Inhibits inflammation and supports muscle protein synthesis
- Offers potential benefits for both athletic performance and aging populations
Problems Addressed
- Limitations of dietary ketosis and restrictive low-carbohydrate diets
- Challenges in enhancing cognitive function and muscle health through conventional nutritional supplements
- Need for effective, non-dietary sources of ketones for energy and health benefits
Market Applications
- Athletic performance enhancement
- Cognitive health supplements for aging populations
- Nutritional support for muscle protein synthesis
- Healthcare and wellness products targeting inflammation and oxidative stress reduction
