Summary

This study looks at how a person's age and metabolic health change the way their body processes a ketone supplement drink. Researchers will give 400 healthy adults aged 20-70 a single dose of the drink and track ketone levels in their blood and urine. The goal is to understand why some people respond differently to ketones, which could help design better treatments in the future.
