Product Technical Details

Product Overview

Magnesium (R)-3-Hydroxybutanoate is a premium-grade nutraceutical ingredient formulated as the magnesium salt of the biologically active (R)-enantiomer of 3-hydroxybutyric acid. This compound serves as a stable, exogenous source of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), a key endogenous ketone body that plays a central role in cellular energy metabolism during fasting, ketogenic diets, or prolonged physical exertion.
