    Abstract: Disclosed herein are “paraxanthine-BHB” compositions including a combination of: (1) paraxanthine; (2) a ketone body or ketone body precursor, such as beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) salt, BHB ester, BHB acid, acetoacetate salt, acetoacetate ester, acetoacetic acid, 1,3-butanediol, medium chain fatty acid, or ester of medium chain fatty acid; and (3) optionally a dietetically or pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In some embodiments, the composition may include a short chain fatty acid or ester thereof in addition to or instead of the ketone body or ketone body precursor. The composition can provide enhanced cognitive flexibility, improved sustained attention, improved working memory, and neuroprotection in a mammal. In addition to such improved mental acuity characteristics, the composition can also beneficially increase resting energy expenditure (resting metabolic rate), enhancing fat loss principally through ketosis while promoting muscle formation and maintenance, as well as modulating lethargy/lightheadedness when entering a ketogenic state.
