The short answer

BHB is short for beta-hydroxybutyrate. It is a compound the body makes on its own when it uses stored energy, such as during a long gap between meals.

Why a salt?

On its own BHB is hard to put in a gummy. Makers bind it to a mineral, which creates a salt. That is why the label says BHB salts.

Which minerals?

Burntide uses calcium, magnesium and sodium. Each gummy shows small amounts of each one on the Supplement Facts panel.

Where it fits

BHB salts work beside apple cider vinegar in a 525 mg blend. Together they are made to support steady energy and a balanced metabolism.*
