Everything You Need To Know About Ketones & Ketosis

Ben Greenfield Life

If you've ever looked into ketogenic diets or ketone supplementation, you may have already heard of H.V.M.N.

As one of the most research-backed companies in their field, they make one of the best supplemental ketones on the market.

The company was first founded in 2014 by my former podcast guests Geoffrey Woo and Michael Brandt (see Geoffrey Woo's interview and Michael Brandt's interview.)

Since that time, the research on ketones has exploded. In 2018, H.V.M.N. products affiliated with United States Special Operations Command were tested as part of Operation Tech Warrior, and in the 2019 Tour de France, multiple cycling teams including Team Jumbo–Visma and Lotto–Soudal confirmed usage of ketone ester for performance and recovery.

My guest on this show is H.V.M.N.'s research lead Dr. Latt Mansor, who holds a Ph.D. in Physiology, Anatomy, and Genetics from the University of Oxford. He also holds an MA (Columbia University) and a BS (University of Nottingham) in Biotechnology. Latt brings over a decade of experience spanning academic research, health technology, and pharmaceuticals to the H.V.M.N. team, and now, to this conversation.

He oversees all the scientific development and clinical applications for all H.V.M.N. products, and this episode is all about what the company actually makes and how their products work, including how to time and dose ketones as a supplement.
