DDDA (as Metabolyte™) is not a protein, carbohydrate, fat or ketone. It’s a “fifth macronutrient” – a dicarboxylic acid. DDDA contains approximately seven calories per gram, so it’s calorie content fits between a typical carbohydrate (~four calories/gram) and a fat (~nine calories/gram). This means DDDA is relatively energy dense, but without the downsides of higher […]

Dodecanedioic acid (DDDA) (as patent-pending Metabolyte™) comes in powder form as sodium dodecanedioic acid and potassium dodecanedioic acid. They dissolve easily in water for powder and stick pack dosage forms. Sodium and potassium are the two most important electrolytes for several reasons: Sodium dodecanedioic acid is NOT sodium chloride (salt). Sodium Metabolyte™ is a […]

Dodecanedioic acid (DDDA) (as patent-pending Metabolyte™) comes in powder form, so it’s ideal for powder-into-water applications like hydration, pre workouts, and weight management powders. Metabolyte™ comes in two forms: potassium DDDA and sodium DDDA. The recommended dosing is 1.5g to 3g of total material. It’s possible to go higher for more acute benefits, but 1.5g […]

For dodecanedioic acid (DDDA) (as patent-pending Metabolyte™), research in animals and humans have shown improvements in metabolism and weight management. Metabolic Health Dodecanedioic acid (DDDA) (as patent-pending Metabolyte™) has been shown in animal models to not just maintain insulin levels in already healthy ranges, but to also sensitize cells to insulin. This is fundamental to […]

A resounding “YES!” According to Dr. Andrew Huberman, the best nootropic is healthy, adequate sleep. The second best is hydration. Even mild dehydration can limit cognitive function. So, can we just drink water to hydrate and improve cognitive function? Absolutely. This article is about optimizing hydration above water. We can drink a lot of filtered […]

Dodecanedioic acid (DDDA) (as Metabolyte™) is found in some plants such as green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). Other dicarboxylic acids can be found in castor oil, for example. Because DDDA is found in low concentrations in nature, the only practical way to obtain DDDA is through supplementation like patent-pending Metabolyte. And only Metabolyte is self-affirmed Generally […]

Unlike protein, carbs, fat or even exogenous ketones, Dodecanedioic acid (DDDA) (as patent-pending Metabolyte™) helps the body with metabolic flexibility by burning fat for fuel. And unlike glucose, Metabolyte™supports normal insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels. Dodecanedioic acid (DDDA) (as Metabolyte™) has been show in animal or human studies to be: 1) an energy fuel […]

When thinking of dodecanedioic acid (DDDA), it’s best to begin with fat. Fats are made up of carbon atoms from 2 – 28 (also known as C2 – C28). Medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) contain glycerol and medium chain fatty acids, typically categorized as C6, C8, C10 and C12. C12 is also known as lauric acid. […]
