I don't have any health issues so I went and purchased a bottle. I'll update with results in a few weeks. I would like to warn that on the show they only recommended 100-200 mg daily but the product I purchased has the dosage at 2 capsules daily and in this case that would give me 400 mg daily of the raspberry ketones. I have opted to only take 1 capsule daily of the product I bought. So far I have not experienced any side effects on 1 pill daily. The first day I took 2 and I did feel slightly jittery but no more than adding a shot of expresso to my coffee. I don't like that feeling so I won't be taking 2 a day.
I am also eating a healthy diet and exercising. Normally in the first 2 weeks I would lose around 6-7 pounds. If I do not lose more than that by adding the ketones then I will have to say this product is pointless. I'l let ya'll know.
I saw this on Dr Oz a few weeks ago but no one in town has this. I would live to try it but I can't remember what mg he recommended how often per day. I'm also leery about buying from Amazon... Has anyone tried it?
ye gods. so much for trying to find objective information.
fwiw, there was a study done in japan in 1955 - the amount that was given to the mice that showed protection against obesity (NOT fat metabolization or burning) was 2% of bodyweight.
What I read a while back in a weight lifting mag said that it showed promise in mice, but was never substantiated in people. You would probably do better to eat a lot of fresh berries instead. These have proven health benefits, and will probably be cheaper and tastier in the long run. If it sounds to good to be true...
Oz did say that it would take like 90 lbs of fresh berries per day. The pills were supposed to be concentrated enough to work. *shrug* I just thought if anyone had tried it, they'd be here. Emmcakes, how much are you taking?
I looked into it and it appears the only successful studies on it were in rats who had 2% of their daily intake as raspberry ketones. Rats have rapid metabolisms so they are often used as a proof of concept for human studies. The human studies, even with a very high intake, have not produced any results. One article I read said that lemons/limes contain any even higher amount of the lipolysis enzymes, so in theory, drinking lemon juice would be more effective than raspberry ketones.
I must admit I got some Raspberry Ketones after seeing the Dr Oz show.
When I am done with my second bottle I will not be replacing it.
The only thing that I noticed was that when I burped it would taste and smell like Raspberries.
I have been popping raspberry ketones for about a month now. The 1st couple weeks I lost about 10 lbs, but now I am up 5lbs again. I have been taking 100mgs 3 times daily. I was thinking about getting the stronger ones next time. I love the aftertaste and that they are natural. I definintly feel like I have more energy from them, but I am not really sure if they are "shrinking" my fat cells. I am not giving up yet since I did lose some weight, but it could just be my diet and exercise change also.
