Sodium 2-hydroxybutyrate (NaHB) is a naturally occurring compound present in foods like avocado, banana, and cantaloupe. It serves as an intermediate in the metabolic processes of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. In its pure form, Sodium 2-hydroxybutyrate appears as a white, odorless, crystalline powder that easily dissolves in water. NaHB activates the sodium-dependent glucose transporter GLUT4, which facilitates the uptake of glucose into cells. This is for maintaining energy levels and overall cellular function.
