Hard Ketones offers a unique buzz without alcohol (nor THC, Kratom, Kava, or herbal elixirs). It features patented Ketohol (R 1,3 Butanediol). Originally researched for therapeutic use because it elevates blood ketones, it was discarded because "the mice were stumbling". Frank, the CEO, revived the molecule and thought people might like a healthier buzz, that suppresses appetite with no hangover!
Update Feb 24th 2024: USA, everything is in stock. Order by Midnight EST to fulfill the next business day. Fedex 2 biz day option only for 12 Packs.

TASTE ANNOUNCEMENT:Our drink's unique taste has sparked diverse reactions. Bartenders praise its authentic flavor, while others find the stevia challenging. If it's not to your liking initially, try customizing it. A splash of lime can transform the taste, and a dash of Splenda can soften any bitterness. Grapefruit packets are another popular add-on. Experiment to find your perfect mix! Plus, keep an eye out for our upcoming unsweetened, unflavored option – ideal for personalizing. More on customizing the taste in this blog post.

G&T (non-Gin & Tonic) with 17g Ketohol
40% more Ketohol, ie 17g per 8oz can. Bitter with low sweetness. Tastes like biting into a pinecone. No Carbs, No Gin. Add grapefruit or Splenda to make it pop.
Also 40% more Ketohol per can. Lightly sweet. Contains 7% Ketohol (17g) in an 8oz can. No Carbs, No Vodka. Add fresh lime to make it pop, add Splenda to make it sweeter.
Best tasting. Contains 4.5% Ketohol (15g) in an 12oz can. No Carbs, No Rum.Lightly sweet. If taste is your priority, get this over the Mule. The Mule & G&T have 15% more grams of Ketohol per can.
Absolute WORST tasting! People asked for just the raw ingredient, but we aren't ready for that (many reasons), so we put 17g of Ketohol into an 8oz can with no sweeteners and no added flavoring. It is guaranteed to taste horrible (we do not guarantee this one on taste).
For this we suggest you "Doctor It Up". Sucralose is the best to mask it, but you can try anything strong. Consider pre-made flavor concentrates. Some swear by grapefruit. Customers voted on our Community Board and customer generated recipes were put here.
Wholesale available for bars & retailers.

What is Ketohol?
Our brand name for R 1,3 Butanediol (R 1,3 BD)
A patentedAlcohol Alternative (alternative to ethanol based alcohol)
Ketohol is 1/2 of the Ketone Ester molecule. Ketone Ester is D-BHB bonded to this same R 1,3 Butanediol. When Ketone Ester is consumed it enters the bloodstream and it breaks into 2 parts. D-BHB and R 1,3 BD
All Natural and 100% bioidentical, hence the "R" and "D".
Ketohol goes through the liver and makes D-BHB, similar to MCT C8, but 80% fewer calories and raises blood ketones 5x more per gram.
NOT recommended for athletic performance, it is more for relaxing. Do not operate heavy machinery if impaired.
Dom D'Agostino talks about 1,3 Butanediol here and said:
"In the early 1960s into the '70s, NASA looked at high energy dense space food, synthetic space food. And they looked at things like 1,3-Butanediol, which is one step away from a ketone, but it converts very rapidly to ketones in the body. And they didn't really know what to call it, you know. It was not an [ethanol] alcohol, it was a glycol or a diol."
When NASA considered this molecule, it was synthetic, nasty tasting and in the racemic form, the D/L or R/S form, which was half as effective. Our Ketohol is the 100% bioavailable form and the drinks taste like a typical hard seltzer.
Alcohol (ethanol) converts in the liver to a toxic by-product. By contrast, Ketohol converts to ketones, a longevity molecule your body naturally produces after fasting or a keto diet.
Alcohol makes you more hungry. Ketohol makes ketones, an appetite suppressant. Consider skipping dinner!
Alcohol kicks you out of ketosis. Ketohol is truly ketogenic and will raise blood ketones 1-2mm per can. But this isn't just for keto people!
Warnings
Not recommended for athletic performance. This is more of a relaxing drink. Maybe post race.
Do not drive if impaired.
Not for pregnant women and not recommended for people under 21.
Does not work with those that take SSRIs or Kratom.
FAQ
Q. Does this show up on a drug test? A. It should not show up on a urine or breathalyzer, but pelase do not drive if impaired, you can still get a DUI, just like if you took THC. As for blood test, we had one report of a false positive. Consider asking/telling your employer that you would like to use this drink.
Q. TASTE. Why do some people love and others HATE the taste. A. We cover this on HardKetones.com/taste blog post.
Q. PRICE. Why is it so damn expensive? A. It may seem that way at first, but the value is there for most people once you understand it. Don't think of it as a 1 can vs 1 can comparison. As we did also just increase the Ketohol by 40% with no price increase. We will have a blog post on this soon, you can see this video in the meantime that should cover it here.
Q. BUZZ What type of buzz is this? Is it real? A. We find that 80% feel a buzz with 2. They describe it as a cross between a beer and THC, but without the sleepiness and food cravings. It may be best to start with 2 or 3 the first time to make sure you feel it. The other 20% seem to be because they use SSRIs or Kratom (doesn't work). Also some that have a super high alcohol tolerance, may not feel the buzz but should feel the reduced desire to drink. Also those that hate the taste and are pissed off, that likely isn't a relaxing state to feel it. See taste adjustments above. Feel the Buzz, or it is Free. 100% Money Back Guarantee in the USA (except the Dr. Up, we don't refund that based on taste).
