BPI Sports Keto Aminos knocked Mike out of ketosis 3 out of 3 times. Was Alanine one of the reasons why?

Short answer is YES. This is really a simple transaction known as the alanine cycle, or the Cahill cycle. You give your liver alanine and it gives you back glucose. Seeing all that glucose, your body has less reason to make ketones! And there goes your ketosis.
