What is Raspberry Ketone?

What exactly is Raspberry Ketone?

Raspberry ketone as you may expect comes from red raspberries. It is extracted, concentrated and then formulated for consumption. It became popular a few years ago when it was featured on the Dr. OZ. show. Taking raspberry ketone is equivalent to eating many red raspberries all at once,

Why is Raspberry Ketone so popular?

Despite the fact there are no concrete human studies that prove the effectiveness of raspberry ketone there are thousands of people that have had weight loss success when using it along with a regular fitness routine. There are however some animal research studies that showed an increase in metabolism with the use of raspberry ketone.

Research has shown that raspberry ketones increased lipolysis  in animal and test tube studies.

This means they increased the breakdown of fat. Also, it was found to cause fat cells to release more adiponectin. Adiponectin is a hormone produced by fat cells and it plays a role in human metabolism. Typically thin people tend to have much higher levels of adiponectin in their blood than those who are overweight.

Our Thoughts

Based on our research there are low risks associated with trying the supplement raspberry ketone. Scientific studies to prove a supplements effectiveness typically cost too much or are too difficult to gain specific results. Therefore, just because there are not scientific studies, it doesn’t mean that Raspberry Keytone isn’t effective for weight loss. Thousands of people have published their results online and wrote positive reviews about this product. Our biggest suggestion and this goes for any product is to always make sure you are buying from a reputable seller. There are many knock off brands selling health supplements. These products are not regulated in the US and therefore cheap brands might not provide the same results as that of a reputable seller. Do your research and only choose quality products with good reviews.
