Are Raspberry Ketones a Miracle Weight-Loss Remedy?

Ever since Dr. Oz presented the weight-loss advantages of using rasberry ketones, I have been slammed with e-mails asking me for my advice on this product. Do raspberry ketones really work? Well, I never mind subjecting myself as a human guinea pig before recommending that my clients or friends try a product. Since I am not one to believe in weight-loss fads, I decided to order a 2 month supply. Once I receive my order, I will weigh-in and start with the suggested dosage of 500mg 2x/day. I will not alter my exercise or eating habits and will keep you all updated with my weight-loss results throughout the month.

A recent research study published in Life Science Journal revealed that supplementation of raspberry ketone increases the production of a hormone called Adiponectin. This hormone is involved in the process of fat-breakdown. Supplementation of 500mg twice/day resulted in an average of 7-10lbs of fat-loss in a relatively short amount of time. Most of the fat burned was from the midsection.

It is important to research this product before purchasing. Since this study has been published, many companies have been creating a synthetic version of raspberry ketone. Remember that real raspberry ketones were used for the original study. This is what you want to look for before purchasing this product:

  • Real raspberry ketone with no added ingredients
  • Make sure the product contains real pure raspberry ketone, not synthetically derived ones
  • If the advertisement makes the product appear too good to be true, then don’t buy it! Are their claims backed up with research studies using their own product? Was the product created in an FDA registered lab?
  • Look for products containing 500mg of real rasberry ketone. Low doses such as 100-200mg/serving are not sufficient for weight-loss results
