Summary

This study looks at whether a special ketone drink can quickly improve thinking skills in adults aged 19 to 55. Researchers will test three groups: people with obesity who are inactive, lean inactive people, and lean active athletes. Participants will take either the ketone drink or a placebo and then complete brain games, vision tests, and a driving simulator to see if the drink helps with memory, attention, and reaction time.
