General
...Orally, BHB seems to be well-tolerated.
However, a thorough evaluation of safety outcomes has not been conducted.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Diarrhea, gastrointestinal upset, indigestion, mild dehydration, nausea, and vomiting.
Endocrine ...A case report describes a 67-year-old female, previously diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and obesity, presenting with generalized weakness, nausea, and vomiting after 3 months of following a self-induced ketogenic diet, which included prolonged episodes of intermittent fasting lasting up to 40 hours, in addition to taking an oral ketone ester supplement containing BHB 30 grams three times daily. After ruling out the possibility of diabetic ketoacidosis, the patient was diagnosed with severe anion gap metabolic acidosis induced by starvation ketoacidosis. Treatment involved intravenous hydration, insulin, and sodium bicarbonate and symptoms resolved after 72 hours (107992). It is unclear if these adverse effects are due to BHB, the diet, or the combination.
Gastrointestinal
...Orally, BHB may cause indigestion (96084), diarrhea, nausea, gastrointestinal upset (96096,102024), and vomiting (102024) in some patients.
In a small crossover study, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting were reported in 37%, 16%, and 11% of patients, respectively, taking two 0.38 gram/kg doses of BHB salts separated by 45 minutes on a single day. None of these adverse reactions were reported when the patients received placebo (102024).
In one clinical study, a synthetic precursor of BHB, 3-hydroxybutyl-3-hydroxybutyrate, taken at a dose of 2142 mg/kg daily for 5 days was reported to cause severe vomiting, mild to moderate nausea, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal distention, upper abdominal pain, and flatulence in some patients. However, it is unclear if these adverse effects were due to 3-hydroxbutyl-3-hydroxybutyrate or the daily consumption of 3.3 L of fortified liquid (96088).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, BHB may cause lightheadedness in some patients. In a small crossover study, lightheadedness was reported in one of 19 patients taking two 0.38 gram/kg doses of BHB salts separated by 45 minutes on a single day. None of the 19 patients reported lightheadedness after taking placebo (102024).
Renal ...Orally, BHB has been reported to cause mild dehydration (96084). This is possibly due to the use of the sodium salt of BHB resulting in increased sodium intake (96085).
