Ketones and Legal EPO, Cycling Recovery! - a podcast by EVOQ.BIKE

DeltaG’s Brian McMahon and I chat about the recent advances in understanding how Ketones can increase your EPO and make you faster. We cover recent studies published using DeltaG, why you may want to try ketones to make you faster, and the use of Ketones in the TOUR DE FRANCE.

Studies mentioned in this video:
Ketones & EPO Study: https://researchportal.bath.ac.uk/en/publications/ketone-monoester-ingestion-increases-post-exercise-serum-erythrop
Exogenous ketones and EPO Study 2: https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP284346

Summary of these studies.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of ketone monoester ingestion on postexercise erythropoietin (EPO) concentrations. Why Is EPO Important? EPO is required for red blood cell production. EPO is the primary regulator for production of red blood cells that transport oxygen in the circulation from the lungs to the tissues. Athletes ingested equivalent to 1/2 to 3/4 a bottle 1h and 2h post-exercise with a carb/protein mix, and blood samples were taken 7 times over 4 hours. In conclusion, ketone monoester ingestion increases postexercise erythropoietin concentrations, revealing a new avenue for orally ingestible ketone monoesters to potentially alter hemoglobin mass.
