If you’re not getting as much done as you’d like—at work, in the gym, or anywhere else—don’t be so quick to label yourself lazy or unfocused. When your brain and body run low on fuel, your efforts are bound to peter out. Nevertheless, there are ways to add more fuel to your tank to continue what you’re doing, be more productive, and maybe even push past where you’ve ever gone before (in a physical context at least)—and no, we’re not talking about eating more food or downing another pot of coffee.
The answers lie in changing the way your body processes energy and supplying the nutrients it really needs to keep your mind and muscles working. The appropriately-named Korrect Fuel™ accomplishes all this, and delivers it via a delicious but sugar-free, fruit-flavored drink mix.
What Is Korrect Fuel And How Does It Work?
Fuel is a nutritional supplement that supports mental and physical performance by way of exogenous ketones, trace minerals and electrolytes, and a unique compound found in green beans.† Basically, it helps supply the energy you need to perform just about any task, and it helps you maintain hydration so you can keep up the good work.†
When you start getting that “low-energy” feeling, there are usually a couple of factors at play. It may have been a while since you’ve eaten, so you don’t have calories or nutrients in your system. Eating food might fix it, but there may be times when you can’t stop for a meal, and if you’re on a diet, taking in more calories might be counter-productive.
Another reason could be dehydration. If you’re working out or doing some demanding activity, particularly if it’s outside in hot weather, you will sweat out both water and electrolytes fast, upsetting your body’s fluid balance. Being even a little dehydrated can put the brakes on both physical and mental performance. A study in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that athletes who were only mildly dehydrated lost anaerobic power, had slower reaction times, and suffered impaired heart rate recovery. Meanwhile, a review in the British Journal of Nutrition concluded that dehydration with loss of electrolytes throws off hormonal balance and even blood flow to the brain, negatively affecting attention, mental speed, and mood.
Korrect Fuel addresses both energy and hydration issues. It gives you a whole other nutrient to feed off (ketones), and helps you tap into your body’s stored fat, so that you can access more energy without having to eat more food.† That saves you calories, but it also prevents the blood sugar rise and fall you get from carbs. You know how it goes: you’re hungry by lunchtime so you have a big meal, and then you’re ready to sleep at your desk by 3 p.m. Korrect Fuel won’t do that.
Furthermore, Fuel’s minerals and electrolytes help keep your body’s fluids in balance, so you can maintain your exercise and maintain focus on tasks.†
What’s In Korrect Fuel?
Fuel has three main ingredients: goBHB® (exogenous ketones), the compound Metabolyte®, and Aquamin Soluble® (a mixture of minerals from the sea).
goBHB®
You may have tried a low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet in the past, or maybe you’re on one now. The goal is to limit your carb intake so that your metabolism switches over to burning more fat for fuel. Your liver begins to make ketones, a compound it creates from fatty acids, and they’re a really effective energy source on their own—particularly for the brain. Many people speak of being more clear-headed and mentally sharp when they go keto, and ketones are one reason why.
Research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that ketones, whether made by the body or taken as a supplement, help stabilize networks in the brain, which supports cognition especially as we age. Meanwhile, the study indicated that glucose (energy from carbohydrate) had a destabilizing effect.
goBHB supplies ketones—the same kind your liver makes—without calories. That means no insulin response, no blood sugar rollercoaster, and no worries about gaining weight.† If you’re the type who likes to fast in the morning, you could have a serving of Fuel to help get you going without any repercussions to your metabolism.† Interestingly, while other exogenous ketone supplements like esters and salts can cause stomach upset, users report that goBHB doesn’t.
goBHB has also been shown in scientific trials to support reaction time and exercise performance.†
Metabolyte®
Metabolyte is the branded name of a concentrated dose of a compound found naturally in green beans that helps promote fat oxidation. We think of it as a metabolic hack, since Metabolyte helps your body switch to burning fat over carbs.† This doesn’t mean that you’ll automatically get leaner by taking Fuel, but rather that you can harness one of the benefits of being on a low-carb/ketogenic diet without having to cut down on carbs to do so.†
Getting more energy from fat leaves more of the carbs you consume and store available during exercise, and that can help you perform longer. In fact, Metabolyte has been shown to assist with exercise endurance.†
As with goBHB, Metabolyte doesn’t impact blood glucose or insulin levels, so it doesn’t cause an energy spike and crash.†
Aquamin Soluble®
Seaweed is a rich source of mineral electrolytes, including calcium, which is particularly important for hydration. Aquamin Soluble sources theirs from the pristine waters of the North Atlantic. Along with the addition of pink Himalayan sea salt, these minerals provide Fuel’s hydration-supporting punch.†
Do I Have To Be Keto To Use Korrect Fuel?
Not at all. If you’re someone who has just started a ketogenic diet, goBHB may help you get into a ketogenic state more easily, not only by introducing ketones to your body but helping to reduce the cloudy-headed feelings that are associated with the early days of a keto diet, when your system hasn’t fully switched over from carbs to ketones. But even if you’re not interested in doing the keto thing, supplementing with goBHB is like adding another macronutrient to your diet, providing an extra source of energy with none of the complications that come with digesting actual food.†
Does Korrect Fuel Have Caffeine?
Fuel does contain a small amount of caffeine—20 mg—which is less than one-quarter of what’s in your average 12-ounce cup of coffee. Even in very low doses, caffeine is effective for helping your body burn fat, so it’s used here as a means to amplify the effects of Metabolyte, not to amp you up like an energy drink.†
If you’re sensitive to caffeine, or you prefer to avoid it, you may or may not have a problem using Fuel. Here are two things you can try: one, start with a half-dose of Fuel to see how you feel on it. The odds are very low you’ll feel any negative effect from only 10mg of caffeine. Two, simply avoid using Fuel within a few hours of bedtime, so you don’t have caffeine in your system when you want to sleep.
Who Is Korrect Fuel For?
Fuel provides a powerful third gear for just about any adult. If you’re writing, designing, planning, or studying, it can help you keep your focus and see things through. Athletes can take it before a workout, practice, or game for the endurance and hydration benefits.† If you’re a ketogenic dieter, Fuel can help you produce more ketones while supplying its own, keeping you in ketosis or helping you get there.† Of course, if you’re someone who experiences yo-yoing blood sugar and that afternoon crash, Fuel can help pep you up to make the second half of your day as productive as the first.
How Does Korrect Fuel Taste?
Imagine the robust, tropical fruitiness of Kool-Aid® or Gatorade® but without the teeth-rotting sugar or syrupy sweetness; that’s a good proxy for Fuel’s Melonberry flavor.
If you’re a keto dieter, you may be familiar with ketone supplements already. In short, they taste awful. At the same time, hydration supplements are often too sweet. Fuel strikes the right balance—not too salty, not too sweet—and we credit the sweetener Glyvia for the difference. A type of sugar molecule that doesn’t get absorbed in the GI tract, Glyvia has no calories and won’t raise insulin.† It’s very popular in keto desserts and offers the same taste and mouthfeel as sugar. You probably won’t notice a difference, but your body will.
What’s The Difference Between Fuel and Korrect Energy™?
Both supplements support energy levels, but they do it in different ways. Fuel taps into your body fat, gives you ketones to burn, and supports hydration so you don’t run out of gas, so to speak.† Energy, on the other hand, props up dopamine levels to promote a hard-working mood while it assists with physical endurance and power.†
Think of Energy as the motivation to get things started and Fuel as the momentum that helps you complete them. Both can be taken together as well as separately. You can start the day with Energy and take Fuel before your workout, take them both before a competition, or take them in those times you sequester yourself for an afternoon of working on your masterpiece (whatever it may be).
