Human Performance Optimization: Ketone Esters for Optimization of Operator Performance in Hypoxia
SBC: HVMN Inc. Topic: SOCOM17C001In the setting of altitude-induced hypoxia, operator cognitive capacity degrades and can compromise both individual and team performance. This degradation is linked to falling brain energy (ATP) levels and an increased reliance on anaerobic energy production from glucose. Ketone bodies are the evolutionary alternative substrate to glucose for brain metabolic requirements; previous studies have sho ...
