Ketone drink may alter Post-Workout hormones, small study finds
NCT ID NCT06683547
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether drinking a ketone monoester supplement changes hormone levels in healthy young men after a single session of resistance exercise. Twelve participants did leg presses and curls, then had their blood tested for testosterone and growth hormone over four hours. The goal is to see if ketone supplements, which raise blood ketones without diet changes, can influence the natural hormone response to exercise.

Ketone monoester supplement
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help us understand how ketone supplements might influence muscle-building hormones after exercise.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 12 healthy young men. It looks at short-term hormone changes, not long-term health or muscle gains. Results may not apply to women, older adults, or people with health conditions.
