Synthetic ketones may theoretically ameliorate concussion symptoms by providing an immediate energy source.

“Another treatment option that I've had an interest in um is the use of synthetic ketones specifically acetoacetate or beta hydroxybutyrate being in the system if one could do that prior to an injury so again this assumes only in certain cases you would do it it wouldn't help you against the car accident because you don't know when you're going to have a car accident but if football players were drinking you know had synthetic ketones in their system such that they had one to two millimole of BHB coursing through their uh through their system at the time of an injury there's at least a very strong theoretical argument and there's some animal data to suggest that could ameliorate some of these symptoms because of course you immediately have a solution to that energy that short-term energy crisis in that you don't have to rely on glucose you get 70 of that injury from from Ketone”
