All humans are able to produce and metabolize ketones, and ketone metabolism is natural for all ages. In fact, healthy newborns drinking fat-rich breastmilk have elevated ketone levels!
We see no reason why children should not be able to take an appropriate dose of Ketone-IQ® while under the supervision of their parents, doctors, nutritionists, and/or coaches.
We encourage you to ask a health professional before changing your or your family’s diets. With children 12 and under, a health professional should always be consulted.
Every serving of Ketone-IQ® contains 10 grams of ketones. For children, we recommend adjusting the dosing accordingly.
If taking Ketone-IQ® is a strategy desired and approved by the child’s parents, health professionals, nutritionists, and coaches (when applicable), we’d recommend starting with the following approximate dose adjustments:
WEIGHT | DOSE SIZE |
50 lbs | 1/3 serving |
75 lbs | 1/2 serving |
100 lbs | 2/3 serving |
