BHB is the main ketone body produced by the liver via the breakdown of fatty acids. One study found that BHB crosses the blood-brain barrier and the levels of BHB in the brain actually increased by more than ten times after following a severely calorie restricted diet. More and more research is coming out now showing the multifaceted benefits of BHB beyond just being a superior source of fuel for the brain.
