Let me start by saying I was pretty skeptical about the whole "ketones as a supplement" thing. I'm not on a keto diet, nor do I plan to be, but I was looking for something to help me get through my long days juggling work, school, and a bit of a workout routine. Enter Ketone XL.

I stumbled upon this product through a friend's recommendation whose taken TrueBrain’s other products, and after reading a mix of reviews, I decided to give it a shot. I wasn't expecting miracles, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Taste: First off, the taste is... interesting. Not going to sugarcoat it, it's not the best tasting supplement I've tried, but it's far from the worst. After a few tries, I got used to it. A quick shot followed by a glass of water, and I'm good to go.

I’m actually training for the 70.3 in Oceanside and this is now taking the number one spot in my bag over bars and gels not gonna give those up completely but going to experiment with this overall.

 I've noticed a slight improvement in my endurance. I'm not setting any personal records, but I do feel like I can go a bit longer and harder in my routines. Recovery seems a bit faster too, with less soreness the next day.

All told, Ketone XL has earned its place in my daily routine. The energy boost is real, and it helps me tackle my busy schedule more effectively. The taste is something I can deal with, considering the benefits. If you're on the fence, I'd say give it a try. It might just surprise you like it did me.

Gave 4 stars b/c it Loses a point for taste, but gains everything else for performance.

started using ketone-xl shots cause my trainer at equinox wouldn't shut up about it (even though i only see him 2 times per wk) and i'm like, okay fine, let's see what all the fuss is about. Ii is kinda like if medicine and a health shake had a weird baby, but you get used to it, sorta becomes part of the routine, mix it in with something else and it's all good. now, the energy part, that's where it hits you, not like a truck or anything, but in a good way, it's like you wake up and actually feel awake. no more of that dragging myself to the coffee pot, just kinda ready to roll. and the gym, oh man, the gym, i was like doing my thing, but now i'm REALLY doing my thing, lifting more, mixing in more cardio in between weights, and not feeling dead the next day, which is pretty great and rare for me now. i gotta say i was skeptical, thought it was all hype, but there's something to it, keeps me going with my crazy schedule and all. it's not perfect, the taste could be better, but hey, what works, works, right? 

Just gave this keto shot a whirl and, seriously, it's like my whole vibe's been flipped on its head—in a rad way. Sipping it's a bit like cold plunges which i LOVE. making yourself to jump into cold water, shocking but somehow refreshing after? Taste isn’t great, just like the water in the cold plunge is cold, so there is “no pain no gain” aspect.  And then, boom, you're zooming through tasks and workouts like you got 9 hours sleep (don’t actually know what that is like?!). Honestly, didn't think a drink could jazz me up like this without making me crash harder than a bad diet day later on.

I pretty sensitive to things like caffeine for example so I started with a half a shot and graduated to the full shot eventually. For me, I noticed I slept better at night on the days I take it first thing in the morning. Very focused non-jittery energy and productive. I have friends now onto Ketones XL they are experiencing good results as well. Wisht hey had just more of a flavor to it like a chocolate or something super noticeable to over take the tart blast.

So, I heard about Ketones on Lance Armstrong's podcast. He mentioned that lots of Tour de France riders use them to keep going during long rides. I've been trying to cut back on sugar and carbs, so the idea of using a fuel source that's not all about sugars got me interested.

When I tried it for the first time, I felt a real difference. My strength stayed steady during my ride, and I could go further and a bit faster than usual.  I'm excited to add this product to my workout routine!

I am pre diabetic and have a really hard time losing weight even though I eat extremely low carb and really clean. Basically Palio/ keto. I do trail funs as my main workout. This has driven major results in my overall body comp (not just weight but BMI, strength). Taste is a little funky but so worth the results!

After trying other ketone products I stumbled across this product. It is the first ketone drink product I have tried. I really love how it’s in a paper shot bottle kudos to the company for that. I try to use this little plastic as possible. On the days I used it I could tell a difference in activity stamina, longer runs with no cramping, more energy afterwards as well. I also felt less hungry, which for me was helpful when trying to intermittent fast in 16 and 8 format. I took it on an empty stomach not sure if that matters or how much. The taste is medicinal. Mixed in plain water it tasted like diluted cough syrup. I know this doesn't sound appealing, but for me it was well worth it haha

I have never liked intense exercise without carbs. My legs felt dead and I couldn’t push myself to my limit. This is legit rocket fuel and quite the solution if you want to fuel with carbs and turbo boost flight speed with this right before going on a workout. I aslo add some during workouts. It is rocket fuel! Yesterday’s workout consisted of 12 intervals  hill repeats on Mount Tam for almost 6k feet of climbing. My wattage output and exertion was lower than expected to achieve a huge outcome and my legs felt fresh still. I love these for my hardest training days. If i could i’d do every day but don’t want to over do it and save some $$.

I’m pretty competitive when it comes to training and sports. Winning isn't everything, but giving it everything I've got sure is. Since I picked up Pickleball, using Ketones during a long 3-hour session has really changed the game for me. I can stay on the court longer, make my shots more accurate, and leave it all out there. Whether I win or lose, this product lets me push myself and feel proud that I gave it my absolute best.

I use this stuff for super long cycling races where I need lots of energy. It tastes kinda weird, like jet fuel and nail polish, but it does the job of putting you into Ketosis. Make sure to try it before using it on race day because people react differently.

I love doing Ironman triathlons and bike races. In my experience, it's like a legal performance enhancer / energy booster that helps you keep going way longer than just using glucose and fat. I really think it's awesome and totally recommend it!

I'm a big fan of Ketone XL! I've been using it every day since I got it, and I can't imagine my routine without it now. I shed some weight and kept it off – around 8 pounds. I'm 5'3" and now weigh 112. I don’t stick to a Keto Diet or do intermittent fasting. But I take this in the morning before breakfast, and it gives me a little mental and physical boost with higher ketones to kickstart the day. I also take it before working out. It's not like a sudden burst of energy or feeling all jittery – it's more like a calm and steady energy that makes me feel like I can do more with less effort. My mood has improved overall, and I just really love this product.

After 3 days of brain fog I bought a sample pack special of ketoneXL. Within an hour brain fog was gone and felt better than normal. I ordered more and it became my morning protocol. I don't need it every morning, just when I have a work load I want to push through. I've heard it described as rocket fuel - although that could be due to the taste and, frankly, the cost... but it's been great for me. Surprised something like this exists actually i just never even knew about it.

I used these to help jump start ketosis when starting a Keto diet. I don’t know if i’m have the normal experience, but during the first week I felt none of the typical "keto flu" and easily got into ketosis. I’m keeping the last 4 shots to assist getting back in after cheat events (parties or client dinners) or whenever i need a hack to over-ride my less healthy habits.  I was skeptical (especially with the cost) but in the end, I feel like it was money well spent as it did exactly what I had hoped.The taste is rough
