Ketone Ester $$$
#1
Have you heard about this Ketone Ester drink? I read that Jumbo uses this supplement at Tour de France and calls it the miracle drink. It aids the recovery process, and looks like it sure works for them with those 4 victories.

I was curious about it and went to check out the prices as I also do some endurance cycling with occassional racing (considering triathlon in the future). It was written that it's expensive. Oh well, one time order with 36 bottles (each 25g pure ketone) coooooosts ..... you are correct, $1149!

might be that I heard Lance saying on his podcast that they already tried the ketone during his era, but it was simply too discusting to drink.
