R-1,3-butanediol
Evidence Summary
A ketone precursor that raises circulating beta-hydroxybutyrate. Human evidence is limited and short-term, covering metabolic and performance markers. An identity caveat matters here: most randomised data concerns ketone esters rather than the free diol, and results do not transfer between them even though both are sold as ketone supplements.
