Shortcut comparison
- Same exact Molecule.
- Tdeltas beverages generally cost over 44% more per gram of the same Veech Ketone Ester.
- Their main blue bottle "Deltag" drink has sucralose (artificial sweetener).
- Their main blue bottle "Deltag" drink has sugar (3g from blueberry).
- TdeltaS does offer a RAW version, KetoneAid doesn't (except bulk)
- KetoneAid Ketone Shot drastically tastes better than each of their products, some may argue our Ke4 still tastes better then their blue bottle, even though it has Sucralose.
- KetoneAid is Made in the USA.
Deeper Dive Analysis:
Both KetoneAid and TDeltaS Deltag both sell a "real" Veech Ketone Monoester (also called Ketone Ester).
I say "real" because there are a couple of companies that claim to have ketone ester, but lab tests show absolutely no ester. Others claim to have ketone ester in powder form but they won't explain which molecule they have or how much. It likely is a cheap powder from China called an acetoacetate, racemic 1,3 butanediol di-ester and likely a "fairy dusty" where they put under 0.1g in the product.
Backstory: TDeltaS used to be the supplier to HVMN and their HVMN Ketone ester. However after 2 years letting HVMN launch the product, their license was revoked and TDeltaS decided to go direct with their own product (cough, something, cough). HVMN has not sold ester since early 2020 and were quoted in a news article that they will no longer carry the product and focus on their other products (MCT oil, bars, caffeine pills etc).
Both TDeltaS and KetoneAid use the same Ketone Ester, which has dozen names including D-BHB Ester, and D Beta Hydroxybutyrate / D 1,3 Butanediol Ester.
TDeltaS has two products.
- DeltaG, with 25 grams of D form ketone ester they dub "DeltaG" in 60ml of total liquid. Some incorrectly say this is the "same formula" as the 2017-2020 HVMN Ketone Ester. But that is a joke. The big difference is this product has 3 grams of carbs and now sucralose. Thus eliminating it from replacing the HVMN Ketone in many scientific studies. Who wants fast fruit based carbs in a ketone drink? Maybe some athletes looking to dual fuel. I don't know.
- DeltaH, with 10 grams of "DeltaG" in it. I know confusing right? This version has 10 grams of ketone ester, and much more water, and does NOT have carbs in it, but does have Sucralose.
KetoneAid has 2 main products.
- KE4 with 30 grams of D form ketone ester in 60ml of total liquid. Thus delivering 20% more ester per bottle. And at 20% less per bottle, it comes to 30-40% less expensive per gram of active ketones, which is what matters. This is sweetened with Stevia and Allulose, a zero glycemic index carb. Many people only take 5-10ml of KE4 (about $2-5 worth)
- Ketone Shot a more diluted, much better tasting, ketone ester drink. This has 5 grams of active D form of Ketone Ester per 60ml bottle. This has 6x more water and is much more palatable. Some call it enjoyable, but not as good as a sugar drink. This is sweetened with only Monk Fruit, for those that are Stevia sensitive. 10ml of KE4 is comparable to 1 bottle of Ketone Shot.
