Raspberry Ketones CAS NO.5471-51-2

Raspberry ketone is a substance found in raspberries, which is responsible for their distinct smell. A synthetic version of raspberry ketones is sold as a weight loss supplement.

 

In isolated fat cells from rats, raspberry ketones increase breakdown of fat and increase levels of a hormone called adiponectin, believed to be related to weight loss.

 

There is not a single study on raspberry ketones in humans, but one rat study using massive doses showed that they reduced weight gain.
