Ketogenic compositions and methods of use thereof
View Patent ↗Compositions and methods for providing a person with an exogenous and therapeutically effective supply of short chain fatty acids, chlorogenic acid, and, optionally, ketones are disclosed. The compositions include one or more short chain fatty acids (such as butyric acid, butyrate salts, propionic acid, propionate salts, acetic acid, or acetate salts); chlorogenic acid; and, optionally, one or more beta-hydroxybutyrate salts. The compositions and methods are useful for inducing ketosis and/or beta-oxidative activity in a subject. In addition, compositions that include concentrated forms of, and methods of using, chlorogenic acid (alone or in combination with short chain fatty acids and ketones) to induce ketogenesis in a subject are disclosed.

(a) chlorogenic acid;
(b) one or more butyrate salts selected from the group consisting of butyrate sodium salt, butyrate calcium salt, and butyrate magnesium salt, wherein the composition is packaged as an oral capsule or in powdered form, wherein the composition is effective to deliver via oral administration at least 50 mg of chlorogenic acid and at least 50 mg of the one or more butyrate salts to a person; and
(c) one or more agents selected from the group consisting of potassium citrate, magnesium citrate, green tea extract, guarana extract, L-theanine, phenethylamine, L-tryptophan, valerian root extract, chamomile flower extract, passion fruit extract, ferulic acid, octacosanol, and one or more vitamins.
2 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition includes:
(a) 100-500 mg of chlorogenic acid; and
(b) 50-250 mg of butyrate calcium salt.
