Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2024?
BACKGROUND
Raspberry ketone is a compound used as a diet supplement for its fat burning properties, which include increasing the body's release of norepinepherine and adiponectin. Increasing norepinepherine raises the body's temperature, and therefor helps burn calories and increase metabolism. Increasing the production of adiponectin, a hormone that lowers glucose levels, may play a role preventing calories to be stored as glycogen. People who suffer from obesity typically have lower levels of adiponectin, which is why raspberry ketone is said to "trick the body into thinking it's thin."
Since the amount of natural ketone found natually in raspberries is very low, raspberry ketone is usually synthesized. Naturally extracted ketone can be extremely expensive.
Raspberry ketone gained considerable attention in February of 2012, when the supplement was recommended on an episode of the Dr. Oz Show.
Dr. Sarah G. Khan Weighs in on Raspberry Ketone
PRO
- Endorsed by Dr. Oz
- Synthetic ketone is relatively inexpensive
- Generally recognized as safe by the USDA
CON
- Unclear how long it can be used safely
- May not be suitable for people with diabetes
- May not be suitable for people with high blood pressure
- May have negative interactions with antidepressants
- Weight loss benefits may only last while the supplement is being taken
DIET and NUTRITION
Regular exercise is recommended while taking this supplement, however it is not associated with a specific workout.
EXERCISE
For best results, raspberry ketone should taken in combination with a healthy diet, however there are no specific diet recommendations associated with this supplement.
ADMINISTRATION
Take 100 milligrams of raspberry ketone with breakfast, or increase the dosage by adding another 100 milligrams at lunch.
CONCLUSION
Raspberry ketone can speed the metabolism to aid in weight loss, but it's important to combine it with regular exercise and a calorie controlled diet. Some people find this supplement helps them get over a weight loss plateau. Like other supplements that raise body temperature, raspberry ketone may only be effective temporarily. Any weight loss achieved will require a healthy maintenance plan.
If you have any medical conditions, it's best to talk with your doctor before taking this diet supplement.
Common Misspellings

-TOTAL SCAM!!! I bought the Dr Oz rapsberry drops for myself and my husband and after 3 weeks neither of us lost any weight whatsoever. We eat healthy and lead active lives but just wanted to lose a few pounds before we went away on our holidays. Total waste of money. AVOID!!

-It's a con. I've just lost £200 from them accessing my account. From me paying shipping fees!!!!

-I've just received some more supplements and thought it was strange as I hadn't ordered any. Then I found this page!
posted May 9th, 2015 9:21 amI've found the direct debit they've set up and cancelled it. It'll be interesting to see what happens next. So far they haven't taken any money although they have sent the capsules. Think I'll tape the envelope up & send it back undelivered!

-AVOID, AVOID, AVOID this scam at all costs. The trial stated explicitly that it was FREE; with the constant bombardment, why wouldn't you believe them?
posted Apr 10th, 2015 10:44 amI felt very uneasy about the process (NEVER doubt your gut instinct). As soon as I ordered my "trial", I regretted it, and telephoned the company immediately. But more about that later...
The Ketones Body Pro and Green Coffee Body Pro "free trials" arrived in the post yesterday. When I got through to the so-called "customer services team", I was unfortunately informed that according to their "Terms and Conditions", taking up the trial automatically enrols one for the costly auto-ship programme.
It must be noted that the CRUCIAL INFORMATION I was being given over the telephone was located within a teeny weeny - VERY EASY TO MISS - hyperlink at the bottom of the webpage.
I asked the representative about my right to cancel immediately. She told me that I would have had three hours from ordering to do so. I told her that I telephoned the company as soon as I had ordered, but found their offices shut, as it was a Saturday. (they only operate Mon-Fri, 8 a.m. - 8 p.m.). She told me that I could have emailed the company. HOWEVER, according to that logic, the company still wouldn't have received my cancellation in the expected three hours, as no one would have been available to deal with the request! Utter shoddy and shady customer service!
Furthermore, no where on the website, or in the "Terms and Conditions" does it state that I had a "three hour" cancellation window period.
Worse still, the representative informed me that I had 14 days to try the product. If after that period I didn't like the product, I would have to ship what was left of the product back to the company, to avoid further charges. Now tell me, how IN THE HELL would I have known if the product worked in such a short amount of time?
At that point, the red flags unfurled; I decided there and then that I wanted an immediate end to this madness. I was then informed of my "options":
A. "Trust" the product, and continue the subscription at a whopping £90+ per month!
B. Pay a one off FEE for my "trial" - oh yes, you read correctly - and end the subscription.
C. End the subscription, then send the trial back IMMEDIATELY (intact), PLUS PAY for shipping and handling costs. Oh wait, there's more to this f*****ry: I had to pay a CANCELLATION and RESTOCKING fee.
Hahaha! The charlatans; the money-hungry, greedy, thieving b******s!!!
The cancellation and restocking fee sent me ballistic, and I refused point blank to pay for that. She agreed to waiver the charge "as a goodwill gesture". Thanks, you complete con-artists!!!
Seeing as they had backed me into a corner, I just wanted NOTHING more to do with the company; I was sick of the WEB OF CONSTANT LIES and the SMOKESCREENS. I opted for 'C'; t'was best to cut off ALL ties.
I've learnt from my foolish mistake; "there ain't no such thing as a free lunch", or '"free trial", in this instance.
I will write a strong email of complaint to the company. As to whether they'll concede to being deceitful, I highly doubt it. Judging from the way they shamefully lure customers into their den of doom, they're highly unlikely to care beans about resolving customer concerns.
I just hope that my story highlights the pitfalls of this profiteering organisation; I hope it helps dissuade anyone considering purchasing products this conniving company. BE WARNED.

?I just bought the capsules. I really hope they work and hope that they are not a scam. I see a lot of comments I just bought the capsules. I really hope they work and hope that they are not a scam. I see a lot of comments for ultra drops. Maybe I should have purchased that instead. Does anyone think the capsules are good? Is there a specific company that I should of purchased them from?

-My wife and I both tried Raspberry Keytones. Total waste of money. Don't even get near this stuff if you have high blood pressure!

+ive been reading peoples comments and looking at raspberry ketone I think some people have been ripped off by buying capsules or tablets when they should be getting the liquid drops , I may be wrong. im un-decided as to weather m going to try them or not.

-With so many different makers out there, why is it that everybody only mentions one particular? My guess is fake reviews, cause I have not seen any results whatsoever.

-I have been taking it and have not seen pound shed> I feel that I have wasted my money,

+Yes, those reviews all sound pretty fake to me, especially since they all mention the exact same product even though there are a million of them out there that are pretty much the same thing. I have been taking raspberry ketone capsule that I bought from amazon for about a week and I have finally bumped a plateau that I have been on for the last month. It's not a magic pill, I still exercise regularly and watch what I eat, as I have been doing but it does seem like it has been helpful as an extra tool to get around hurdles.
posted Jun 7th, 2013 2:06 pmGood luck!

-I've taken it for a month and the scale hasn't moved even tho I do seem to be eating less.

Is it just me or do all of these reviews sound fake??? Let's hear some real ones.
posted Mar 20th, 2013 9:10 pmI personally am taking the pills from w-mart ($10 for 2 week supply). Only been taking for 3 days, but feel no different. No change in appetite, no weight lost. I am exercising, but not much. I had a MAJOR stomach ache that lasted about 5 hours today when I took my pills on an empty stomach. Won't be making that mistake again.
