  • Compositions and Methods for Dietary Management
    Publication number: 20240000735
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for supporting health, especially renal health, comprising ketonic agents that recapitulate beneficial effects of ketosis by exogenously administered agents. The agents include beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), analogs thereof, and GPR109A agonists. The agents may further include crystal precipitation inhibitors which synergistically improve treatment of certain renal conditions, such as citrate. The agents may be used in dietary supplements and therapeutic compositions for the treatment of cystic kidney diseases such as polycystic kidney disease, ciliopathies, and other conditions. Certain formulations enable convenient administration of the beneficial combination product in powdered form for mixing with liquid. Such formulations can be salt-balanced, and may be free of sodium and/or silicates, and are well tolerated. The formulations may be provided in a container and measuring implement to enable convenient measurement of dosages.
