Exogenous ketones: a brief overview and physiological effects Ketones are produced by our liver during periods of fasting, low-carbohydrate dieting, and prolonged exercise. In non-exercise contexts, ketone ester supplementation has shown promise in improving cerebral blood flow and various cognitive aspects in adults with obesity.

The exact mechanisms behind this link are complex, but it’s believed that the combination of lifestyle factors associated with depression (such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking) and the physiological effects of depression on the body (including inflammation and blood clotting) can contribute to heart problems.

Other studies have also unearthed more intricate connections which suggests that physiological conditions, underpinned by biological and chemical factors, may also play a pivotal role in influencing cardiovascular disease (CVD).
