      #Beta-hydroxybutyrate (#BHB) has numerous applications in human health. Include Inducing and Maintaining Ketosis, Energy Provision and Performance Enhancement, Appetite Regulation and Weight Management, Cognitive and Neurological Benefits, Metabolic Health and Insulin Sensitivity, Stress Relief and Anxiety Reduction, Bone Health Support, Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Effects, Support During Fasting, Caloric Restriction, or Power supply Implantable BCIs as biofuel and so on.

      Based on the scenarios highlight BHB’s versatile applications, these following dosage forms may be considered.

      1. Powder Formulations:

        • Pure Complex Powder: A blend of Sodium BHB and betaine in powdered form for direct consumption or mixing with liquids.

        • Enhanced Powders: Combined with other beneficial ingredients like vitamins, minerals, or additional electrolytes to complement the effects of both Sodium BHB and betaine.

      2. Capsules or Tablets:

        • Immediate Release: Encapsulating the Sodium BHB betaine complex for quick absorption.

        • Extended Release: Formulated to provide a sustained release of the complex, potentially extending the period of elevated ketone levels and betaine activity.

      3. Effervescent Tablets:

        • Combining the complex with effervescent agents to create a drink that dissolves quickly in water, enhancing both taste and absorption.

      4. Liquid Formulations:

        • Ready-to-Drink: Pre-mixed beverages containing the Sodium BHB betaine complex, potentially flavored for improved taste.

        • Concentrates: Liquid forms that need dilution, allowing for personalized dosing.

      6. Gel Packs:

        • Similar to sports gels, these would contain the Sodium BHB betaine complex for quick ingestion during activities where hydration or solid food intake might be challenging.

      7. Granules or Crystals:

        • Larger particle sizes than powders, which might offer different dissolution profiles or sensory experiences.

      8. Sublingual Forms:

        • Tablets or strips that dissolve under the tongue for potentially faster systemic delivery, although this would depend on the solubility and stability of the complex under such conditions.

      9. Functional Foods:

        • Incorporation into energy bars, snacks, or other food products where the taste can be masked or complemented by other ingredients, providing both BHB and betaine benefits through everyday consumption.
