Usage：It appears to work by increasing levels of (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate in the body, which may enhance the TCA cycle, reduce inflammation, and promote muscle health. This process mimics some effects of a ketogenic diet without needing dietary changes. Compared to other ketone esters like (R)-3-hydroxybutyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate, studied for neuroprotection in traumatic brain injury (Taylor & Francis), Ethyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate's role in cachexia is more specific. Both compounds elevate blood ketone levels, but Ethyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate's application as a food additive (found in wine) and its ease of administration via injection or potentially oral routes make it a candidate for broader therapeutic use.
