Audacious Nutrition KetoStart+ | Exogenous Ketones Powder with Electrolytes for Energy, Strength & Focus | with Caffeine | Raspberry Lemonade Flavor Electrolyte Powder (10x Ketones Drink Mix Packets)

First of all it helps put me in keto almost immediately, so I love that! It’s super convenient to mix with water or juice it tastes like smarties with a bit of a tart/bitter aftertaste but you get used to it! Once this product puts me in keto I almost immediately lose my appetite and improves my symptoms. I get bad acid reflux and back pain when I am a little heavier so to keep myself the best shape I can I stay on keto with this mix!

I have been on a whole food ketogenic diet and taking exogenous ketone supplements for about six years. Since I write books and speak about ketones, I like to try out new ketone supplement products as they come on the market. So, I have tried many different brands of ketone salts. There is a variety of products available now in a range of prices, flavors, and the amount of the ketone betahydroxybutyrate in a "serving". What I look for in a quality ketone salts product is how much betahydroxybutyrate (BHB) is in the serving, the cost per gram of BHB, whether there is a balance of mineral salts in the formulation, how it is sweetened, whether there are artificial ingredients, and, of course, the taste. KetoStart passes on all counts with flying colors! Many other ketone salts products contain only sodium or high levels of potassium, but KetoStart contains a balance of sodium, calcium, potassium, and magnesium that helps meet daily recommended intakes of each mineral. There is no sugar, gluten, or artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. The product is available with or without caffeine. I drink the caffeine-free Tropical flavor, which I find smooth and not overpowering or overly sweet (it is sweetened with Monk fruit). I first tried Keto Start in May 2022 and it has been one of my go-to supplements ever since. I take it in the late afternoon and find it suppresses my appetite for several hours, which helps me better control my daily food intake. I am happy to see it on Amazon now and at a great price!

I'm not a fan of one star reviews, but the other products that are available in this segment are so much better that I feel that the rating is warranted. I've found benefit from the various ketone supplements that have come available over the past few years so I try the new ones when they become available. I bought the Raspberry Lemonade Ketostart without realizing that it only has 10 packets per box. This makes it the most expensive Ketone drink available on Amazon (per drink). Strike One. When I did try it, there's nothing Raspberry or Lemonade about this drink, it overwhelmingly tastes like coconut, a slightly funky coconut. I thought the first packet could have been bad, so I tried the next one, funky coconut. All of them taste like funky coconut. Strike two. The last thing is mostly subjective but, on the label it shows that it has 12g total of ketones, plus a number of supplements which aren't needed. After I drink most ketone supplements I perceive a increased level of awareness. With this stuff, nothing. Strike three. It's silly expensive, tastes nothing like what they advertised, and doesn't contain anything that's needed for a ketone drink and I've never perceived the ketone effects after drinking it.

Highly effective in raising ketone level, but sickly sweet. Unpleasant flavor. I had to mix it with about 40 oz of water in order to tolerate the taste, but then I ended up drinking it over the course of the day which means I had to put up with the flavor over the course of a day. I wish they offered an unflavored version and at a better price. For this reason, I am going to a different brand which I also tried, which is more palatable and more reasonably priced.

This product is what it says it is and does what it says it does. I get a really good ketone boost. But that price, tho. Ouch. I guess you get what you pay for. I'll buy it again. And I have bought it again. And again. But... I would buy more of it if there were an unsweetened version. Every sip is like getting punched in the face with SWEET. I bought it a second and third time through my company, and each batch seems sweeter than the last. This last batch is really over the top.

I sometimes do straight keto, but I am also usually doing high-protein with weightlifting. This means I need a lot of protein, but also (traditionally) carbs to go along with it for energy. It's a big challenge for me to get decent carbs (along with the protein) without going over my daily caloric intake and putting on fat. So KetoStart is a great pre-workout option to get that energy in a convenient form. Tastewise, it's much better than the usual chalky tasting electrolyte powers. I got the raspberry-lemonade flavor, and it does taste like real lemonade, not enhanced water. So basically you get the clean energy, electrolytes, and other benefits in one package.

I drink multiple different ketone drinks. This one makes me feel sick.

I love this product! Its a must have for me before my workouts. I love the taste and it gives me a good energy kick as well as being a keto supplement. I can tell the ingredients and quality are the best as well

I am enjoying this product so far. Unfortunately it was rather expensive including a substantial duty charge to ship to Canada. I was not really expecting a huge duty charge and now I see that this is not available in Canada at the moment. Hopefully we will find a way to get this product soon at a better price.
