Wow is all I can say about this product! I like to use ketone supplements to fuel my longer workouts (I do IronMan training) and I also like to use them on fasting days or times when I have to focus at work. I've used a bunch of different branded ketones in the past and they are NOTHING like this! Firstly: when you unpack it, it looks pretty cool, a bit like a cologne! Secondly, I was worried about the taste as I'd heard that ketone esters taste like rocket fuel! It is STRONGGG and pretty bitter but its drinkable for sure: be warned you should drink it quickly and have some water nearby. The positive effects are worth the short term taste issue. I took it before a long run: my blood ketones went from 0.2 to 3.5 in 30 minutes and I felt AWESOME. I crushed my run, you feel like you are running on a whole other gas tank. I also used one on a planned 24h fast, I felt very focussed and clear, really helped with the middle of the day slump: nice even energy levels through the day. No GI issues at all, which was another issue I have had in the past with MCT and ketone salt. Would definitely use this again.
Just drank one before my workout.
1. Taste...I was worried at first. But I felt it was easy to drink. It's not worse than a shot of vodka, whiskey, or jaeger It has a alcohol taste to it like drinking a not so strong alcohol.
2. I felt energy within a 5 minutes. Like I drank a lot of caffeine.
3. I was motivated to do more reps in my workout
4. Wore out for me after 1 hour or so.
My diet is low carb.. close to keto ...
My first time using any HVMN products; I incorporated the Ketone esters into a well attended race/ride. I am a 53 year old male. I train on my own. I placed this race/ride in my training schedule to check my fitness three weeks prior to my biggest event of the year, or ever. As recommended, I took my first HVMN Ketone esters bottle 30 minutes prior to the start of the event. To be honest, based on reviews, I expected to not be able to stomach the taste. To my surprise, it wasn’t awful. I started the race and quickly noticed how fresh my legs felt. I also found myself leading the pack, which is something I have never done. Then my mind took over, I was thinking like a racer, I soft peddled until the lead group caught me and fell in. I found myself analyzing the other riders and figuring out who my competition would be. There were some naturally talented climbers and I knew I would have problems competing with them in the mountains. I decided I would have to breakaway and create a cushion. The gap would allow me to climb at my own pace and hopefully I wouldn’t be overtaken until close to the top of the climb. If I was caught, I knew I could close the gap on the descents and the flats. I asked one other rider to join me on the breakaway. The rider declined, told me it wouldn’t work and that it would be suicide. So, with 52miles to go, I went solo. 2hours and 15 minutes into my ride, I downed my second bottle of HVMN Ketone esters. I was focused. No one caught me after my breakaway, I was first to finish with no one in site behind me! I know I trained hard all year but I did not expect yesterday’s achievements. I truly feel as though this product allowed me to focus well and compete at a higher than usual level. I am looking forward to my next event.
Thank You,

This Ketone Ester drink is amazing.
I raced bicycles Nationally and professionally as a domestique when I was younger...back in late 80's-early 90's.
Raced with all the best...now I am 50 and staying in shape for my fitness, mind and endurance.
After much research and following a low carb, keto diet..I felt I still needed an edge on longer endurance rides...after watching all the podcasts from HVMN...I gave it a chance on a century to start with earlier this year.
I was shocked to feel steady energy for the last half of the ride...and finished without being tired....incredible.
HVMN Ketone helped me focus as well.
The ester was fast acting, does not make me jittery at all and lasts a long time.
Great product HVMN!!
Love the product but its about 50 bucks overpriced. I will order a couple times for needed and then probably drop it.

I must admit I was a bit skeptical at first, this stuff is expensive, over $30 per serving. I’ve now used it twice and am very happy with the results.
The first use was during a mountain bike ride. I took the HVMN Ketone Ester approximately 30 mins prior to the start of the ride as per the instructions. During the ride I noticed what I can only describe as “more gas in the tank”. It wasn’t a jittery, caffeine-like surge of energy. I just felt like I could pedal harder, longer. I also noticed that I seemed more in the zone on the descents, more aware of the bike in relation to my body.
The second use was during a long Jiu Jitsu class. Same thing, more gas in the tank and more body awareness.
If this product was less expensive I would use it more frequently but now I see it as a “special weapon” for unusually intense sessions, races or competitions.
As an Exercise Physiologist, I take research into performance aids pretty seriously. Ketones are an interesting beast. While some research, particularly on ketone salts, do not show significant results, there is clear evidence that Ketone ester's like HVMN are the real deal. Because of that I decided to "take the plunge" despite the high price.
The effects were pretty profound: I had increased mental focus / clarity and an increased ability to put in hard efforts through the end of my 1-hour (cyclocross) races. The last lap felt like the first lap and that ability to maintain speed & effort lead to a greatly improved performance. And, frankly, more fun!
Because I struggle with pre-race eating, I thought HVMN might upset my stomach. Ultimately I found the opposite: HVMN didn't upset my stomach and it also allowed me to eat a bit less before racing which helped my stomach feel better.
HVMN is going to be a tool that I keep in the toolbox!
I've been in ketosis for about 2 years now and I've never been one of those people that produces ketones like crazy. My blood ketones usually hang around the 0.5-1.2 mmol/L range, which is ok but not optimal for me (even if I restrict carbs like crazy). I've tried numerous ketone salts on the market but this is my favorite ketone product by far. I have taken the whole bottle at once as a single serving but personally, lately, I've been splitting it up into about 3 servings/bottle and using it as an aid for study/working/focus, and as a workout recovery tool. It gives me the boost I need for sustainable, non-jittery energy. It's a fairly expensive product but a little goes a long way (at least for me personally) and the quality is exceptional. For me, this is a staple part of my routine; I'm a loyal customer for life!
I’m a triathlete. I use HVMN Ketone for my long workouts and race day. Love it- definitely gives me a step above my normal nutrition. Felt the buzzzz!
I am 52 years of age, previously athletic until about 5 years ago. Hate diets! But I couldn't shed the extra pounds and didn't have the energy to reach my potential endurance level while working out so that I could see results. I attempted the Keto Diet without supplements first.....didn't work well. So I started trying different keto supplements to speed up ketosis, but nothing I bought seemed to have an effect. I happen to see an ad for HVMN online and researched it before I invested money into more "promises". This drink is the bomb! I wasn't as cautious when I had the first bottle because my expectations were rather low. My recommendation is that you start by sipping the first bottle so you don't go straight into Ketosis flu. I have been using this product for about a month and I have to say that a work out fueled by ketones burning stored fat is an energy source that is powerful and has lead to the results I wanted within weeks. Worth the money!
