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
