Frequently Asked Questions
See below a list of questions we often get asked about Keto//os.
​
Is KETO//OS gluten and dairy free?
Yes they are gluten free and all are dairy free except the 2.1 Orange Dream version of KETO//OS
​
Do I need to follow a specific diet when I am taking KETO//OS?
The wonderful thing about taking exogenous ketones via KETO//OS® is that you can experience the benefits of ketones without diet modification. Even those who don’t change a thing, will still experience the benefits. It is like the quick shortcut to ketosis.
However, for maximum results, it is encouraged that you slowly begin to follow a lower carbohydrate diet, and enhance your body’s ability to utilize.
What happens within your body once you take KETO//OS NAT?
​
Taking PRUVIT’S KETO//OS exogenous ketones speeds up the whole process of becoming fat-adapted and puts the body into ketosis within 60 minutes.
​
After being ingested, beta-hydroxybutyrate is absorbed into the bloodstream and then converted into an effective energy source for the body.
​
Supplementing exogenous ketones will also decrease your blood glucose levels at a very high rate. This could be because of increased insulin sensitivity. This is also a potential benefit for those who can’t tolerate carbs very well. By having increased insulin sensitivity, your body can more efficiently process carbohydrates.
​
The appeal of exogenous ketones is that they raise ketone levels even when the consumer is not in a state of ketosis before ingesting them.
What are the side effects of exogenous ketones and mitigants?
The side effects associated with ketone supplements range from stomach discomfort to diarrhea. Because these supplements are also bound to salts, consuming too much is not recommended.
Supplementing with KETO//OS or following a ketogenic diet can cause a slightly diuretic effect, and can deplete magnesium, potassium and sodium stores.
This can be rectified by supplementing with a good electrolyte or increasing the sodium in your diet. However KETO//OS adds additional sodium to the formulation to counter-act this sodium depletion.
If you are not vigilant about your mineral and fluid intake, you may experience what many call the “keto flu.” The keto flu is caused by the body’s response to carbohydrate restriction.
It is essentially a form of mild dehydration that can be caused by the diuretic effects of ketosis. This may cause symptoms like fatigue, headache, dizziness, cramping, diarrhea, constipation, and heart palpitations. But don’t worry, you may only experience one or two of these symptoms or none at all. The symptoms you get, the severity of your symptoms, and the length of the keto flu will be different depending on the person.
​
If this occurs, decrease your serving size of Uncharged Keto//OS or BioMax, drink plenty of water.
​
KETO//OS 2.1 and Keto Kreme is blended with medium chain triglycerides, which can often times cause digestive distress.
​
This is due to the fact that your body has not yet adapted to the increased fats in your diet, and is less efficient at utilizing ketones as its fuel source.
​
Once the body has adapted to this increased fat in the diet, the digestive distress should resolve. We recommend to start slowly with a reduced serving size and build up to a full serving twice a day, but it is totally up to the individual. If diarrhea, stomach cramping or constipation occur, reduce your serving size of Keto//OS and/or consume Keto//OS with food (fat or protein) until bowel movements have returned to normal.
​
Please make sure that you are drinking enough water.
​
What are the benefits of KETO//OS ketones?
​
The science behind the effects that ketones have on the body is in its early stages. However, many studies have found that being in ketosis provides us with benefits that extend beyond what we previously expected. These benefits include:
​
Reduced hunger/cravings: ketones naturally suppress your appetite allowing you to make better choices and eat less frequently.
​
Fast and sustained energy: ketones offer insulin free energy that maximises your mindset and mental focus while motivating you to do more.
​
Sharper mental clarity and focus: KETO//OS provides a cleaner, quicker energy pathway than glucose while providing important signalling molecules to the body. No crash that comes with carb- heavy meals.
​
Muscle preservation: ketones are extremely anti-catabolic (they are protein/muscle sparing) and will preserve and protect your lean tissue during periods of caloric restriction. The more muscle you preserve, the more fat you burn.
​
Anti-inflammatory/Joint mobility: ketones, specifically beta hydroxybutrate found in Pruvit’s proprietary technology, help maintain healthy joint mobility.
​
Fat loss: KETO//OS target and burns body fat with every serving by positioning your body to follow a proven, accepted and universal fat-loss formula.
​
Boosted athletic performance: Using exogenous ketones greatly impacts your energy levels. Instead of running on glucose storages, by ingesting exogenous ketones and becoming fat adapted, you will have a lot more fuel in the tank to run for longer periods of time.
