Ketones are a compound that can provide the body with energy. Ketones are produced when the body breaks down fats and protein.

The usual reason for ketones being produced is when the body has used up its stores of sugar.

The NHS states that without sugar available, the body needs to find energy from another source, so it breaks down fat to make ketones for energy.
