The Effects of Exogenous Ketones on Cognitive Function

Participants will undergo two test days separated by 3-7 days. On both test days, participants will arrive fasted and consume a single dose of ketone monoester or placebo (357 mg/kg of body weight) in random order. Drinks will be prepared by non-study personnel and matched in taste, texture, and appearance to maintain blinding. Thirty minutes after consuming the ketone monoester or placebo, cognitive assessments will be completed including NIH Toolbox cognitive assessments, Senaptec Sensory Station, and driving simulation.
