Study Overview

The goal of this study is to learn more about how a nutritional supplement “ketone ester” (Health via Modern Nutrition; H.V.M.N) has an effect on brain function and on alcohol consumption in individuals with alcohol use disorder.

  • Drinking a nutritional supplement ketone ester
  • MRI scans of the brain
  • Blood draws for measurements of glucose or other testing
  • Alcohol consumption: we will give you a tray with alcoholic drinks (i.e., vodka mixed with diet soda of your choice) Participants will be asked to come to Penn Medicine 3 times over a period of approximately 4 weeks.
