Summary
This study tests whether taking a beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) supplement can safely slow or stop the growth of intestinal polyps in people with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), a genetic condition that often leads to colon cancer. About 20 adults with FAP will take BHB daily for several months. Researchers will check if it is well-tolerated and if it raises BHB levels in the blood, which may help prevent polyps and reduce the need for frequent colonoscopies or surgery.
