7 years ago this week, we reported in Cell Metabolism that ketosis prevents or reverses PKD in animal models, and that oral β-hydroxybutyrate alone slows it. Cystic cells are metabolically inflexible. Here is where that has led, a few steps a week. #PKD doi.org/10.1016/j.cmet.2019.…

Come meet Dr. Thomas Weimbs, Founder of Santa Barbara Nutrients, and receive a free KetoCitra® sample at our SBN booth at the NKF Spring Clinical Meeting 2024!
The Santa Barbara Nutrients team returns to NKF Conference this week!
Dr. Weimbs, a molecular biologist, has run the Weimbs’ PKD Research Lab for over 20 years at the University of California. The lab which focuses on the molecular mechanisms which underlie PKD has led to several significant discoveries regarding the disease. Our product, KetoCitra®, was born out of the Lab’s research.
We look forward to meeting you there!

We just wrapped up a wonderful weekend at the Metabolic Health Summit in Santa Barbara, CA!
During the summit, we were grateful to have Glenn Frommer stop by our booth! Glenn is a huge advocate for the Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) community.
