ALCAR does increase beta hydroxybutyrate so you need to experiment with dosing. Start with 250mg combined with 100mg ALA before or with meals.
If you cannot handle the epi then forego the ALCAR until you see how you feel; add a tsp of coconut oil with it.
What exactly produces the ketoacids?
Since betahydroxybutyrate is water soluble, I use natural laxatives to maintain peristalsis, inhibited by fasting. No adrenaline during the day, but when I wake up, I can feel it until I get things moving again.
