With a growing adoption of fat oxidative therapies in research and in the clinic, Biosense® enables frictionless and frequent monitoring of ketosis levels as they change in study participants. This non-invasive AUC resolution, or “Ketosis Dosing” allows investigators to identify key correlations with Biosense® in various chronic diseases. If you are interested in closing the feedback loop in your nutritional interventions or as a companion diagnostic to a drug, we are eager to speak with you about your protocol. Inquire below to arrange a discussion with our executive team.

Carbohydrate restrictive therapy supports many therapeutic areas of research

Over 50 clinical trials and human studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of Carbohydrate Restrictive Therapy.

Obesity
Metabolic syndrome
Type 2 diabetes
Alzheimer’s disease
Epilepsy / Autism
NAFLD / NASH
