Sorry, but this seems dubious. (I'm not a doctor, though.) It also seems like a bad product name for googling. :)
The reason it would taste like nail-polish remover is because acetone, the main ingredient of nail-polish remover, is a ketone. When people do a keto diet, their breath can smell like acetone for a while, and sometimes the lips chap. I really don't see why someone would drink acetone, if that's what is in the drink. (I didn't look it up.) I'd worry this could put you at risk of going into ketoacidosis.
Also, how does drinking ketones make your glucose levels plummet? Ketones come from fat metabolism. My understanding of the keto diet is that you reduce carbs to reduce glucose levels, so that your body falls back to burning fat (ketosis).
