This year's Tour de France had some amazing moments.

Egan Bernal


At 22 years old, Egan Bernal was the youngest winner since 1909, and the first-ever Colombian winner. Julian Alaphilippe held the yellow jersey for 14 days. Ketone esters were widely discussed as the future of fueling.

Long rumored in the peleton, it seems ketone esters have emerged. This year, three Tour de France teams confirmed their use of ketone esters: Jumbo-Visma, Deceuninck-Quickstep, and Lotto-Soudal.

With that acknowledgment, questions regarding the use of ketones arose. HVMN have a podcast by Professor Kieran Clarke, co-inventor of the ketone ester, Professor Kieran Clarke, to explore ketone ester in professional sport. There have been rumblings of ketone ester being used in cycling for years, but this was the first time its use was so widespread—and verified.

Here at AlkaWay HVMN Ketone Esters are leaping off the shelves. They are the fastest selling product we've ever had. And it's re-orders fuelling the sales. Go figure.
