  • 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?

    Thanks in advance,
    Connie
  • 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.

    that's a lot of raspberries.
  • I've been taking it for over one month and it really hasn't done anything. My average weekly weight loss has not changed.
  • 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...
  • Funny, I was just reading an article on Huffington Post about this 5 minutes ago.

    Apparently this product has never been shown to work on humans.

    Dr Oz disappoints again
  • Theres no magic to weight loss,just control your diet.
  • 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?
  • So how did it go Indy?
  • Rasberry Ketones
    Hello did anyone try rasberry Ketones yet?
  • 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.
  • I'd be willing to try them if I could find an all natural, raspberry extract only product with no caffeine added.
  • I saw it on DR OZ but i never really tried it..if any good testimonials on it please let me know i might try it :X
