Get slim, healthy, and confident again with our unique keto drink mix supplement. Ideal for both men and women, Kegenix™ PRIME is a dynamic and powerful ketosis dietary supplement that will assist weight loss, promote abdominal fat burn, and support better digestion and sleep.” [3]  “The body relied on the tiny and incredibly powerful ketones to help regulate its energy supply by burning fat instead of carbs like we do today. Kegenix’s patented ketogenic formula now gives you the chance to revert you body back to its natural state of ketosis. Kegenix can help you look and feel better while stimulating keto weight loss over time due to its patent formulation and unique, phased delivery of ketones to your body.” [4]  The companies recommended dosage is one time per day, with 1 pouch going in 12-16 oz. of water. It is not recommended that type 1 diabetics take this supplement, and you should always clear any new supplement with your healthcare provider first. Another claim directly from their website is,   “Ketones have been studied by NASA and the US Military because of their special energy and cell protective properties. The first real product that can replace carbs and sugar without using insulin. Rapidly absorb exogenous ketones and electrolytes, balancing your body’s overall function. Naturally sustain ketosis via a unique blend of ketogenic amino acids and metabolites. Stimulate endogenous hepatic ketone production, via Kegenix’s MCT & RS4 Fiber components.” [4]

The Science (or Lack Thereof) Behind Kegenix

There is a lot of science backing the fact that there are ketones in the body, and that they serve to put your body back into its natural state of ketosis. There are no given studies on the main website backing their product, however. So how can the drink put your body into a state of ketosis in under 60 minutes anyway? That is the biggest question many of you will be asking, so I wanted to address it. It has been said to be the most powerful exogenous ketone supplement on the market today, but why? At first glance the keto diet is a nutritionists largest headache because there are a lot of fats involved, and little to no carbs.   By drinking their supplement you are naturally putting new ketones in the body. Here is how the ketogenic diet process is explained by the Scientific American Journal: First, this program emulates starvation mode in the body thus putting your body into the metabolic state of ketosis because the blood sugar is usually dependent on carbohydrates for energy, which are then broken down into glucose and stored in the liver the process is changed. If the liver is depleted of sugars and carbohydrates to provide energy with, it still provides energy to the brain just in the form of fat. Really, they are the natural ketones that come from the fatty acids in your diet that are converted, which is why this company has legs to stand on in the first place. These particular ketones are then rushed through the bloodstream, and used as fuel. [6]  There was an interesting study done involving the ever famous Dr. D’Agostino regarding how the body adapts to the environment it is in even in extreme situations.

“He was selected for his research conducted at the USF Hyperbaric Biomedical Research Laboratory (HBRL) on how extreme environments impact the human body. One of the countermeasures developed is a method to induce and sustain nutritional ketosis with ketone supplement formulations. Nutritional ketosis shifts the body’s metabolic state to burn fat rather than glucose as its primary fuel.” [7]

In this particular study, they went on a deep space mission to a Mars like atmosphere underwater in the Atlantic Ocean located 6 miles off of the coast of Key Largo. Dr. D’Agostino was the only crew member in the state of ketosis, and the studies were done to better NASA’s research on health in space. The results?

“He was in a constant state of ketosis which is proven to preserve the genome, protecting DNA. This is beneficial to NASA as it can countermeasure neurological risks that come with space travel such as space radiation, lack of oxygen and stress of small spaces.”

So to recap the information above, the drink will automatically give your body the ketones it needs to burn fat rather than carbs, thus putting your body into that advanced state over time. While there are no studies to prove the 60 minute factor, the process is fully explained. NASA teamed up with Kegenix’s main face Dr. D’Agostino for more research and also proved a theory about the ketogenic state, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t be a bit skeptical of how quickly it is said to work. Being placed first and foremost in a ketogenic state by following the strict diet will help speed that time up. If you are not following the keto diet while taking the supplement, your body will still be using carbs for energy too, which will slow down your process.

Word On The Street About Kegenix

When looking into this diet supplement, it is clear that the founders of Kegenix wanted the user to pair taking their product with going through the ketogenic diet. What happens if you do not go through the diet and still take the supplement? Will it really still be effective? I took a look into a few reviews to see what real customers were saying about its overall effectiveness.   Brock Thomas (2017, 1 star), 

The Bottom Line: Is Kegenix Worth A Try? 

Risky.   I say risky because of how expensive the company’s supplements are and how bad they taste. On top of this simple factor, they have not been said to work exceptionally well according to their loyal customers. Ketones, ketosis, and the ketogenic diet are not all frauds, and there are many health benefits from following this style of diet, but sometimes supplementation like Kegenix is not necessary. It might just be another add on that the company thought of to try and make extra money, as the keto diet is popular amongst many. Whatever the motive, the claims they make on the site are not backed by any real studies regarding their personal formula, which made it had to validate their claims.
