BHB Explained: What Beta-Hydroxybutyrate Salts Are
BHB sounds technical. Here is what the letters mean and why mineral salts are used.
The name
BHB stands for beta-hydroxybutyrate. It is a small molecule the body makes naturally when it breaks down fat for fuel.
Why salts
Makers bind BHB to minerals so it forms a stable powder. The JelluTide label lists calcium, magnesium and sodium forms.
How it appears on the label
The Supplement Facts panel shows it inside the 525 mg blend: apple cider vinegar plus BHB calcium, magnesium and sodium salts. See the BHB profile for a quick summary.
What to keep in mind
BHB is one ingredient inside a daily routine.* Meals, movement and sleep remain the foundation, and the label is your best source for exact amounts.
