We do not know: Rasberry ketone is gaining momentum as a possible weight loss supplement and was recently discussed by dr. Oz. The data regarding this supplement is lacking. Raspberry ketone does contain a chemical that looks similar to synephrine, a stimulant-type compound. Rat research suggests that raspberry ketone may upregulate lipase leading to fatty acid release. Until there is more data we do not know.

Do not waste your $: Do not waste your time with "weight loss supplements". Rasberry ketones are yet another in a long line of "miracle" weight loss supplements that are pure hype. If you want to achieve weight loss, reduce your carbs to a bare minimum, drink only water, eat lots of low starch veggies and increase your activity levels.
