Brain energy metabolism

Understanding How

the Brain Produces

and Uses Energy

Brain energy metabolism describes how the brain produces and uses energy to meet its continuous metabolic demands. KetoSwiss advances research and nutritional innovation focused on supporting healthy brain energy metabolism.

Why Brain Energy Matters

The brain accounts for only 2% of the body weight, but uses up to 20% of the body's energy. This high energy demand supports neuronal communication, cellular function, and other processes essential to normal brain function.

KetoSwiss takes a metabolic approach focused on interconnected nutritinal and lifestyle pathways that support brain energy metabolism.

The Five Keys Metabolic Pathways™

Our approach focuses on five key metabolic pathways that support brain energy metabolism through nutrition and lifestyle strategies.

How These Five Metabolic Pathways Work Together

Stabilize

More consistent energy availability by supporting stable blood glucose and reducing metabolic fluctuations.

Nourish

Vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other metabolic cofactors needed for normal cellular function and energy production.

Protect

Nutritional support for the body’s antioxidant defenses and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

Repair

Nutrients involved in healthy mitochondrial function and the production of cellular energy, or ATP.

Fuel

D-βHB, a bioidentical ketone body that can be used by the brain as an alternative energy source.
