Retride lists one 60 mg proprietary blend of magnesium, calcium and sodium beta hydroxybutyrate (BHB) per 2-capsule serving. The other ingredients are microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin and magnesium stearate. The split between the three salts is not published. Human ketone-salt studies used about 10 to 24 grams of BHB a day, roughly 170 to 400 times more.
Three BHB salts, three capsule helpers, one blend total.
Retride has three active ingredients: magnesium, calcium and sodium beta hydroxybutyrate. These are BHB salts, also called exogenous ketones. They share one 60 mg proprietary blend per 2-capsule serving.
Three other ingredients make the capsule work. Microcrystalline cellulose fills it, gelatin forms the shell, and magnesium stearate helps the powder flow.
That is the full list, with no caffeine or herbs. Our guide to BHB ketones explains what these salts are.

The front says what each ingredient is. The back gives the research or its job. The three salt cards link to full pages.
BHB bound to magnesium. Listed first in the Retride blend.
Tap to see the research ↻Mixed salt drinks of about 12 to 24 g BHB raised blood BHB to about 1 mM (Stubbs et al., 2017).
Supplemental magnesium upper limit: 350 mg a day (NIH ODS Magnesium fact sheet, 2026). Retride amount: not published, part of 60 mg.

BHB bound to calcium. Second in the Retride blend.
Tap to see the research ↻A 10 g a day salt blend did not beat placebo for weight by a significant margin (Roeth et al., 2025).
Calcium upper limit: 2,000 to 2,500 mg a day (NIH ODS Calcium fact sheet). Retride amount: not published.

BHB bound to sodium. Third in the Retride blend.
Tap to see the research ↻Study salt drinks carried 1.6 to 3.2 g of each mineral (Stubbs et al., 2017).
Sodium limit: under 2,300 mg a day (FDA, Sodium in Your Diet, 2024). Retride's share of the 60 mg: not published.

Tap to see the research ↻MCC is a common tablet and capsule filler. It gives bulk to small amounts of powder.
It is not an active ingredient and has no listed amount.
Tap to flip back ↺The capsule itself. The label lists it as gelatin (capsule).
Tap to see the research ↻Gelatin is usually made from animal collagen, so the capsules are likely not vegan.
The animal source (bovine or porcine) is not published.

Tap to see the research ↻Used in tiny amounts in many supplements and medicines.
It is not a magnesium source in any useful sense and is not part of the 60 mg blend.
Tap to flip back ↺One molecule, three mineral partners.
BHB on its own is an acid. To make it a dry, stable powder, makers bind it to a mineral. The result is a salt, the same idea as table salt being sodium plus chloride.
Using three minerals spreads the mineral load, so no single mineral piles up. Mixed blends are common in keto products.
BHB is produced as an acid, the same molecule your liver makes during ketosis.
Magnesium, calcium and sodium each hold one share of the BHB.
The salts become a fine white powder that can be weighed into capsules.
Retride fills 60 mg of the blend into 2 gelatin capsules per serving.
Listed first, so likely the largest share. Read the magnesium BHB page.
Listed second. Read the calcium BHB page.
Listed third. Read the sodium BHB page.

The label dose is far below anything tested in people.
This is the most useful fact on the page, so here it is plainly. The whole BHB blend in a Retride serving is 60 mg. Human studies of ketone salts used about 10 to 24 grams a day.
That makes the label dose roughly 170 to 400 times smaller than studied doses. No study we found tested anything near 60 mg.
BHB salts per serving or day (bar length = share of 24 g)
Ketone salt studies vs the 60 mg label dose
| Study | BHB salt dose | What happened |
|---|---|---|
| Stubbs et al., 2017 | About 12 to 24 g per drink | Blood BHB peaked near 1.0 mM |
| Buga et al., 2021 | About 24 g a day, 6 weeks | 7.3 kg lost vs 8.0 kg on placebo; no difference |
| Roeth et al., 2025 | 10 g a day, 8 weeks | 3.05 vs 1.51 kg; not significant (p = 0.09) |
Even those big doses raised ketones only modestly and added no clear weight loss beyond the diet. Ketosis mainly comes from eating fewer than about 50 g of carbs a day, not from a capsule.
All three minerals together: under 60 mg.
The label does not say. What we know for sure is the ceiling. The three salts together weigh 60 mg, and part of that weight is BHB itself. So all three minerals combined come to less than 60 mg per serving.
Daily limits run to hundreds or thousands of milligrams, so this mineral load is tiny.
Mineral ceiling per serving vs daily limits
| Mineral | Retride per serving | Daily reference | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magnesium | Under 60 mg (split not published) | Supplement upper limit 350 mg | NIH ODS Magnesium fact sheet, 2026 |
| Calcium | Under 60 mg (split not published) | Upper limit 2,000 to 2,500 mg | NIH ODS Calcium fact sheet |
| Sodium | Under 60 mg (split not published) | Under 2,300 mg a day | FDA, Sodium in Your Diet, 2024 |
Study-size salt drinks are a different story. One drink carried 1.6 to 3.2 g of each mineral, which can matter for blood pressure or kidneys.
Filler, shell and flow aid.
The other ingredients line lists three items. None is active. Together they turn a little powder into a capsule that fills and swallows well.
Other ingredients from the label
| Other ingredient | Job | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) | Filler | Purified plant fiber; adds bulk to small doses |
| Gelatin (capsule) | Capsule shell | Usually animal-derived; source not published |
| Magnesium stearate | Flow aid | Tiny amount; keeps powder off machine parts |
Three facts shown, five not published.
A proprietary blend lets a brand show one total instead of each amount. That is legal, but it leaves gaps. Here is what is shown and what is not.
Our Retride Supplement Facts guide reads the panel line by line.
Label claims, then what studies found.
The label claims are: Advanced Weight Loss Support*; Supports Healthy Metabolism*; Promotes Fat Burning*; Helps Reduce Appetite & Cravings*. These are the brand's words, not study results. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Research is more careful. Gram doses of salts raise blood BHB for a few hours but have not shown clear extra weight loss. The appetite results came from a ketone ester, not salts.
What the evidence says about BHB salts
| Question | What research shows | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Do salts raise ketones? | Yes, briefly, at 12 to 24 g | Stubbs et al., 2017 |
| Do salts add weight loss? | Not clearly vs placebo | Buga et al., 2021 |
| Do they cut appetite? | Shown for an ester, not salts | Stubbs et al., 2018 (ketone ESTER) |
| What does produce ketosis? | Carbs under about 50 g a day | StatPearls, Ketogenic Diet, 2023 |

Retride lists a 60 mg proprietary blend of magnesium, calcium and sodium beta hydroxybutyrate (BHB) per 2-capsule serving. Besides the blend, the label lists microcrystalline cellulose, a gelatin capsule shell and magnesium stearate. Nothing else appears on the Supplement Facts panel.
BHB is short for beta hydroxybutyrate, the main ketone body your liver makes from fat when carbs are very low. Keto pills use BHB bound to a mineral, called a BHB salt, so it can be dried into a powder and put in a capsule.
The label gives 60 mg of BHB salts per 2-capsule serving, as one blend. Human ketone-salt studies used about 10 to 24 grams a day, so the Retride serving is roughly 170 to 400 times smaller.
The split is not published, because the three salts sit in a proprietary blend. The label only gives the 60 mg total. Under FDA labeling rules, blend ingredients are listed from most to least by weight.
That is not published. D-BHB is the form your body makes. Many salt products are a D/L mix, and one study found salt drinks were about half L-BHB. Ask the order desk if this matters to you.
Study-size doses carry grams of sodium, which matters if you watch your salt. Retride's whole blend is 60 mg, so its sodium is well under 60 mg, a tiny share of the 2,300 mg daily limit. Ask your doctor if you have high blood pressure.
Probably not. The label lists gelatin as the capsule, and gelatin is usually made from animal collagen. The gelatin source is not published, so ask the order desk if you avoid animal products.
No caffeine or stimulant is listed. The panel shows only the three BHB salts, and the other ingredients are capsule and flow aids. Read your own bottle's label to confirm.
No. Retirides and Retriderm are tretinoin skin creams, a different product type. Retride is a capsule dietary supplement with BHB salts. The similar names show up together in search results.
