Beta-hydroxybutyric acid (β-HB) is an important ketone body that is mainly produced by the liver during the oxidation of fatty acids. It plays a key role in energy metabolism, especially under low-carbohydrate diets or starvation. β-Hydroxybutyric Acid is a four-carbon hydroxy acid with the chemical formula C4H8O3. It is one of the ketone bodies, the other two being acetoacetate and acetone. β-HB is produced by the breakdown of fatty acids and is often used as an energy source when glycogen reserves are depleted.
