Is anyone aware of this new powder supplement that claims to get ketones in your body artificially? Anyone currently taking it? Thoughts?

Why would you want to do that? You can do it yourself without a powder and extra cost. But I guess it can be hard for some.1

Save your money. Ketosis is free. If you have glucose in your body, putting ketones in would be useless.

What an ironic name for a product where the manufacturer can't "pruvit" actually does anything before asking for money.
The first Google result is a sponsored ad from an "independent distributer." Those two words should tell you something. Run away.6 -
They claim it also improves energy and mental sharpness.1

Things that really can improve energy and mental sharpness, 1. a good night's sleep, 2. a brisk walk, 3. a healthy diet, 4. strength training, 5. a small amount of caffeine. Things that give you the impression that you are energetic and sharp, 1. crack, 2. meth, 3. some mothers.25

Acetone is a ketone also. I might as well drink nail polish remover for a lot cheaper (though that would kill me).
Think about it. If there was a magic pill to make weight loss easier, nobody would be overweight.3 -

couldn't identify what they are actually selling. "Exogenous ketones" are a thing, being studied to help with certain conditions, extreme military applications or to get people into ketosis quicker.

Just say NO to diets. No one needs to eat anything special to loose weight, excepting those that have special medical needs, calories in/calories out. Eat less move more. Don't waste your time and money on the next snake oil product.1

Looks to me like a very efficient way to separate a fool from his/her money.3

Question 1) why would you want to get ketones in your body artificially?
"Ketones are produced when the body burns fat for energy or fuel. They are also produced when you lose weight or if there is not enough insulin to help your body use sugar for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose builds up in the blood. Since the body is unable to use glucose for energy, it breaks down fat instead."
Ketones seem to be a by-product or in use when insufficient glucose
It's kind of like taking a urine supplement, isn't it?

One of my friends just started peddling this stuff...it costs over $6/serving! She said that many people take 2 servings a day to obtain 'optimal fat burning'. Why, oh why do things like this crap sell when apps like MFP are FREE and actually work??!! One of life's many mysteries....5

They steal peoples' progress photos from keto Facebook groups I'm in to hawk their crap- enough said.0

Supplements that work:
Creatine
Steroids
Human growth hormone
Caffeine
Insulin
Clenbuteral
Duretics
Pseudoephedrine
If it's not on that list, it's probably BS1 -

Ketocana gets you into keto immediately. I do an adjusted CKD with just a small 6 hour carb up and that gets me right back into it. MCT oil will get you back in keto quick too.5

Because it's regulated by DSHEA and not FDA, sellers can say whatever they want as long as they have the "disclaimer" label on the side.They claim it also improves energy and mental sharpness.

I have been taking keto/os for 2 weeks now and I don't believe that it is a scam. I have been following a strict keto diet for 3 weeks which I realize is the natural way to gain ketones. However adding this as a supplement to my strict diet has helped make the transition easier! Do I believe that this drink is a magic pill that will make all my fat melt away? HECK NO! What I do believe is that it is a tool that I can use to help meet my goals.10
