#2> The drink comes in a bottle about the size of a 5-Hour Energy shot. It's clear and has no smell. The taste, however, burns like rubbing alcohol. It caused our eyes to tear. We gagged, loudly.

Sounds great.

#3I've been going in the opposite direction. Last year I've bought an aeropress coffe device to improve my coffee at work. Last week I've started to use a manual grinder so I can use high quality whole beans. My morning and after lunch coffees are my personal rituals.
A chewable coffee looks completely detestable. :-)

#4Seems like this effect can be reproduced by intermittent fasting or a keto diet.

Hi, co-founder here.
Yes it does have a kick to it. It's made for performance (is > 98% ketone & water) not to be the most delicious thing ever.
The writer's response here is totally legit -- but we've also demo'd with pro athletes, Navy SEAL's, etc. and they just knock it back, no big deal!

Our GO CUBES chewable coffee is super popular ^_^ I personally still love a fine coffee/espresso, but what's nice about GO CUBES is they let you keep coffee in your pocket - take it anywhere, no stress no spills, etc. I end up popping a couple GO CUBES throughout the day, they are great to have around. And it's got precise 50mg caffeine + 100mg l-theanine + b vitamins, for better performance profile than normal coffee.
However today's news is much more exciting -- HVMN Ketone! It's a game changer for the sports performance world, and has v interesting implications beyond bc it affects metabolism in a fundamental way.

Sort of! You can enter ketosis through IF and keto diet (we run WeFast, a big facebook fasting group, and I fast 36 hours every week).
What's special about HVMN Ketone is that you can get into ketosis with just a drink. And it lets you maintain carb levels at the same time, unlike keto diet & IF, which is a big plus for the sports performance gains.

#8A ketogenic diet stimulates your body to produce ketones, which seems preferable to drinking something which tastes like "rubbing alcohol" with a "nail polish" aftertaste.

#9As someone who practices IF semi-strictly, is there any benefit to taking this while maintaining a low level of carb intake? Or is it's ideal use case for someone who wants to get carb intake levels higher?

I wish you had another option as I am not on facebook.
