Typically it takes people weeks to go into a full state of ketosis, which is when your body switches to BHBs as it's sole or main fuel source. Your body has to deplete its glycogen stores, flattening out muscle, for this to just happen. Well this is no longer the case. Taking what is called a saturation dose, typically 12g of BHB, will put a person into full ketosis. They will remain there until they take themselves out via too much protein or carbs.
