Interventions/Control_1

Duration: 12 weeks
Test beverage: Beverage containing beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB) (BHB 16.0 g/day)
Administration: In principle, dissolve contents of the four bottles in 500 mL of water and drink it at once after breakfast. Repeat the above before sleep. In total eight bottles a day, taken twice daily
If it is difficult to drink the test beverage using the prescribed method, please use an easier method as appropriate. (e.g. to reduce the number of bottles dissolved once, or to increase the amount of water used to dissolve the test beverage.)

*If you forget to take the test beverage, take it as soon as you remember. Daily dose should be taken within the day and not carried over to the next day.

Interventions/Control_2

Duration: 12 weeks
Test beverage: Beverage containing BHB (BHB 3.0 g/day)
Administration: In principle, dissolve contents of the four bottles in 500 mL of water and drink it at once after breakfast. Repeat the above before sleep. In total eight bottles a day, taken twice daily
If it is difficult to drink the test beverage using the prescribed method, please use an easier method as appropriate. (e.g. to reduce the number of bottles dissolved once, or to increase the amount of water used to dissolve the test beverage.)

*If you forget to take the test beverage, take it as soon as you remember. Daily dose should be taken within the day and not carried over to the next day.

Interventions/Control_3

Duration: 12 weeks
Test beverage: Beverage not containing BHB
Administration: In principle, dissolve contents of the four bottles in 500 mL of water and drink it at once after breakfast. Repeat the above before sleep. In total eight bottles a day, taken twice daily
If it is difficult to drink the test beverage using the prescribed method, please use an easier method as appropriate. (e.g. to reduce the number of bottles dissolved once, or to increase the amount of water used to dissolve the test beverage.)

*If you forget to take the test beverage, take it as soon as you remember. Daily dose should be taken within the day and not carried over to the next day.
