In this article, you will come across words such as ketosis, ketogenesis, ketones, ketone bodies, and exogenous ketones. These words are all related, but they have some differences.

Ketosis is when the body burns ketones for fuel, and all these ketones are created via a process called ketogenesis.

In this article, ketones and ketone bodies are the same. Ketone bodies are a product of the liver during starvation periods or when carbohydrates are restricted.

Exogenous ketones are ketone bodies that are unendogenously made in the body. They ingest in the form of ketone salts. Ketone salts are the main ingredients in keto OS products.

The science behind the effects of ketones in the body is still in its early stages. However, research has shown that ketosis is very important to us as it provides us with benefits that extend beyond what we previously expected. The benefits of keystones weigh much than the side effects.

Ketogenic diet seems to be superior to exogenous ketone supplementation when it comes to cognitive function. The ketogenic diet helps in losing weight and also reducing insulin. Note, this research was carried out using rats which may not apply to a human being.

However, Combining these findings with the ketogenic diet in humans, it seems the ketogenic diet will provide the most benefit compared to exogenous ketones like KETO OS.

Well, that's sad, but exogenous ketones have effects which have promising results that boost the benefits of the ketogenic diet and help improve the health of non-ketogenic dieters. Can you take the risk and invest in these products?

To make you decide best, let’s take a look at the side effects of the KETO OS products and also get a better idea of what KETO OS does in the body.

THE SIDE EFFECTS OF KETO OS

The company that produces KETO OS products is called pruvit. The company likens the side effects of their supplements to those of ketogenic diet. During the ketogenic diet, KETO OS products may cause a diuretic effect that can lead to water and mineral depletion. Hence, Pruvit suggests that patients should drink more water and supplementing with magnesium, potassium, and sodium to replenish the mineral and fluid level.

If you do not take a lot of water and minerals, then there is a likelihood of getting the keto flu. The keto flu is a form of mild dehydration that is caused by diuretic effects of ketosis. It causes symptoms, for instance, fatigue, headache, dizziness, cramping, diarrhea, constipation, and heart palpitations.

The Keto Coach, Pruvit suggests decreasing KETO OS for symptoms such as diarrhea, cramping, and constipation. Pruvit also indicate that you should take the dosage slowly for around 20-30 minutes and even taking it with food. Constipation in specific taking a magnesium supplement helps a lot.

Pruvit has two products KETO OS 2.1 and Keto Kreme which contain medium chain triglycerides which can cause digestive distress. In case of this symptom, then it shows that your body hasn’t adapted to increased fat yet. It is recommendable for a patient to start with a small dose and then increase it over the week or two due to the medium chain triglycerides which can cause digestive issues.
