Cognitive Switch Ketone Di-Ester Powder

Cognitive Switch is a new C8 Ketone Di-ester powder that gives your body the building blocks to create ketones, which are an efficient brain fuel that help you boost your mental performance and support brain health. It’s currently the only ketone ester powder on the market.

Cognitive Switch is our new and improved formula, which has been reformulated. We’ll be honest, our original Chocolate Nitro drink and Unflavored powder worked great for elevating ketones but tasted terrible. Our team focused on improving taste, which has resulted in a new ketone di-ester that you will enjoy drinking. The name change from Metabolic Switch to Cognitive Switch is to more accurately describe the benefits that are most loved by our customers and most promising in published scientific research.

The powder and beverage are both ketone ester products with the same health benefits. The main difference is in how you consume them. For customers looking for a pre-mixed, ready-to-consume option, our ketone ester beverage is the easy go-to. Our flavorless mix-in powder has the benefit of flexibility. You can add it to water, your favorite health beverage, or coffee. For strict keto dieters, it also contains no net carbs.  

Just like when you add a new food to your diet, your body may need time to adapt to this new macronutrient. We recommend starting with just 1 scoop of powder per day and consuming it with food. We recommend up to 2 servings daily (25g total of C8 Ketone Di-ester). We always recommend consulting your trusted health care provider before adopting lifestyle changes such as consumption of Cognitive Switch.

The best time to drink it is the time that works best for you! People like to drink it to kickstart their morning routine, during the day to get in the zone and increase productivity, or use it as a nice afternoon energy boost to get over the slump. Consume up to 2 servings/day. 

The C8 Ketone Di-ester is made up of two unique precursors (di means two): C8 (octanoic acid) esterified to one part (R) 1,3-butanediol. C8 fatty acid is converted to BHB ketones using the pathway you’d usually use to make ketones. The other precursor is converted in an alternate natural pathway. Your body now has ketones to use for brain fuel and energy, which is an efficient energy source because they are easy to break down and produce a high amount of energy when used by cells.

Our latest study was published in September 2023 and validates that the novel ketone ester in Cognitive Switch® (BO-BD) has similar ketone delivery to BH-BD but with much greater acceptability. View the full peer-reviewed scientific paper at Sage Journals.
