The science behind Klario's combination formula

  • The problem with sugar

    During and after a hypo your brain struggles to turn glucose into energy because an essential molecule called NAD+ gets used up. This creates an energy bottleneck: even after your blood sugar recovers, your brain is still underpowered.

  • Enter adaptive energy

    Your brain reaches for adaptive energy sources like BHB and lactate when blood glucose is low. These are highly efficient fuels, naturally produced by the body, that use a different pathway to produce energy which doesn’t rely on NAD+. 

  • The Klario difference

    Klario isn’t just another sugary drink, it is an advanced formula combining adaptive energy with fast carbs. Designed to shortcut the glucose bottleneck and rapidly restore energy to the brain.

The right fuel for the job

What are the benefits of adaptive energy?

1. More efficient energy production

Delivers more usable energy per gram than glucose and fuels neurons with less metabolic strain. It also improves mitochondrial efficiency and increases cerebral blood flow by 30%, helping the brain remain powered under stress.

2. Improves cognitive performance

Rapidly crosses the blood–brain barrier and is preferentially taken up by neurons, supporting attention, memory, and processing speed, particularly when glucose is scarce. Clinical and experimental studies show adaptive energy reduces neuroglycopenic symptoms and preserves working memory during hypoglycaemia. Regular intake of adaptive energy sources has been linked with long-term benefits in learning and cognitive resilience.

3. Provides neuroprotection

Protects neurons by generating fewer reactive oxygen species than glucose and directly scavenging harmful free radicals. It directly suppresses inflammatory signalling and activates protective pathways linked to long-term brain health. This dual antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect helps shield the brain from oxidative stress and damage during and after episodes of low blood sugar.
