Here's the key benefits.
This article has just barely scratched the surface of Raspberry Ketones. To learn more about the important role Raspberry Ketones play in supporting fat loss, and various other health benefits please feel free to read our "Digging into the Science" section below by Monica Mollica BSc , MSc.
Digging Deeper Into The ScienceRaspberry has been used throughout the centuries for nutritional and medicinal purposes. Like its popular relatives, the strawberry and blueberry, raspberry contains an abundance of health promoting substances. The unique fragrance and flavor of raspberry comes from raspberry ketone (also known as 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) butan-2-one) 1, which is unique to a raspberry, and is widely used as a fragrance in cosmetics and as a flavoring agent in foodstuffs 2.
Studies have shown that raspberry ketones hold promise for fat loss. In one study mice were fed a calorie rich high-fat diet supplemented with raspberry ketones. After 10 weeks it was shown that the raspberry ketone supplementation prevented both subcutaneous and abdominal (visceral) fat gain, and also protected against development of fatty liver 3. These anti-obesity effects are beneficial, since abdominal fat (the type of fat that causes protruding bellies even in otherwise "skinny" people) is strongly associated with obesity-related complications like the metabolic syndrome, Type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease, even in the absence of classical risk factors 4,5. The association between abdominal adiposity and accelerated atherosclerosis has been shown to be independent of age, overall obesity or the amount of subcutaneous fat 5. Thus, raspberry ketones can help you get in better shape and improve your health.
Raspberry ketones appear to stimulate fat loss several ways:
1. Increasing liberation of fat from fat stores (a process called lipolysis) 3,6.
2. Enhancing energy expenditure by activating thermogenesis (heat production) in brown adipose tissue (also known as BAT, see below) 3.
3. Increasing fat burning (fat oxidation) 3,6.
4. Increasing levels of the hormone adiponectin 6.
5. Suppress fat synthesis from fructose (sugar) overfeeding 3, and inhibit fat accumulation 6.
6. Inhibit fat absorption 3.
The effect of raspberry ketones on BAT and adiponectin are especially interesting.
Brown Adipose Tissue, also known as BAT, is a special type of fat tissue that produces heat instead of storing fat7. It was previously thought that BAT was only present in significant amounts in rodent, and infants 8. However, recently has been shown that even adult humans have metabolically active BAT depots 9,10, that can be induced and stimulated7. This has put BAT in the spotlight of obesity research 8-11; thus, we are most likely going to hear a lot about BAT -in the near future. Bearing this in mind, it is interesting that raspberry ketones stimulate BAT induced increases in energy expenditure. The more you can increase your ability to burn off excess calories (by raising your energy expenditure), the better are your odds of shedding those unwanted pounds of fat.
Fat cells are often regarded as calorie storing depots. However, fat cells also secrete several substances hormones, both good and bad (depending on the location of the fat depots) 12-17. One of the good hormones secreted from fat cells is adiponectin 18-21. Adiponectin is a relatively newly discovered adipose tissue derived hormone that circulates in the blood at high levels 22, and has multiple health promoting effects.
Adiponectin enhances insulin sensitivity, lowers blood glucose (blood sugar) and reduces triglyceride levels 22-24, in addition to boosting fat burning 25. Apart from its anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive and anti-atherogenic properties, recent studies have revealed that adiponectin also has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer functions 19-21,26,27. Actually, one mechanism by which abdominal fat causes metabolic and cardiovascular diseases is via a reduction in adiponectin levels 26. Low levels of adiponectin contribute to the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in obese or overweight people 18,22. Adiponectin levels are inversely related to the degree of adiposity 23, which means that the lower the adiponectin levels, the more fat we're likely to be carrying around.
It is interesting that exercise, which is well known for all its beneficial health effects, also increases adiponectin levels 28. The importance of adiponectin is further underscored by proposals to make it a biomarker for different health conditions, and a therapeutic target for health promotion interventions 21. It has further been speculated that adiponectin - or interventions that stimulate adiponectin secretion or action - might play a role in the therapeutic armament against disease states associated with insulin resistance, mainly type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity 29. Thus, the ability of raspberry ketones to increase adiponectin secretion undoubtedly contributes to the anti-obesity and health promoting effect.

Along with the lean body green tea extract and ursolic acid, these three supplements have helped me shed unwanted body fat. I have dropped over 4% body fat in just three weeks!!
I have been taking Raspberry Ketones,Ursolic Acid and Green Coffee Bean together and have really noticed my fat loss decreasing and muscle mass gains increasing. Amazing Fat Loss!!!!!!
Raspberry Ketones have been a part of my supplement stack for a few months now and I am definitely losing fat. Great to find a simple supplement derived from nature that works this well!
I've been taking the Raspberry Ketones for 3 weeks now. I have not expereinced a noticeable change. I am looking forward to the next few weeks to report back.
I purchased and have been taking raspberry ketones for 3 weeks now as a result of seeing the product on Dr. Oz. I have lost 2 pounds already without making any adjustments to my diet. I will begin a new diet and excercise program in the next week and expect to see even better results with the ketones. I will certainly be ordering more!
I love this product, I have lost 11 lbs and 3 inches in a month,so it really does work!
I have been on raspberry ketones for three weeks now and I can notice a big difference, I have gone down two shirt sizes and two pant sizes. I have been on different diets my whole life and put my weight back on and then some. I love Raspberry Ketones !!!!!!
My wife and I have been using Labrada's Raspberry Keytone's for a couple of months now and the results are Great. The RASPBERRY KETONES have given both my wife and I the edge to burn off those stubborn few pounds. We are looking forward to our next Hydro Static weighing.

There are no crazy side effect besides reduced body fat. I can't wait to get more and even my husband is wanting to try these now! Labrada Nutrition definitely hit a home run with these! :)
I'm new on my journey with Raspberry Ketones, but I'm excited abot this product. I learned about Ketones from Dr. Oz's website, and I'm so glad Labrada Nutrition has decided to make the product available. My goal is to lose 5-10lbs in the next 3 weeks, and I'm confident Raspberry Ketones will help me do this, even when I'm not 100% faithful with my workout plan.
Love your product! I worked out my midsection/stomach area, but nothing seem to work. I couldn't get rid of my stomach until my sister gave me a bottle of Labrada Raspberry Ketones and told me to take one twice a day in additon to my workouts and about 2wks I started to see a change. My stomach wasn't poking out or hanging off the top of my jeans. I know it's the Ketones because before them I couldn't get rid of it. Thank you!!! Love you're Raspberry cheesecake bars too, they're awsome!!!
Over the past month I have been using raspberry ketones. While using this product I have noticed a change in my waistline. Try it you will not be disappointed.
Im a 37 year old male and Ive been trying very hard to lose weight. (I started at 212 pounds) I was going to the gym 4 times a week and had hit a plateau on my weight loss. I had actually started to gain again. Im down to those last few irritating pounds that I need to lose. I saw the Dr. Oz show and was equally skeptical because I figured he was getting a kick back from some company for the promotion. I decided I would give it a go just for the heck of it for one bottle. In the last three weeks Ive lost 12 pounds. Is it the Ketones? I really dont know, but nothing else about my lifestyle has changed. I can tell you this much, previously Ive never been able to get past 168 on my weight loss and that was 9 years ago when I was younger. Today I weigh 165. SOMETHING got me over the hump of 178 and started my weight loss again. I had been at a standstill for about 2 months and while I am doing yard work in my garden Im not going to the gym right now. Im going to continue to take them and see if I can reach 158 pounds. If I do, I will see that weight for the first time in 24 years. Im not promoting the ketones, Im only telling you what Ive experienced so far.
I began taking 2 Raspberry Ketones a day.(1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon) about 2 weeks ago while being on a sensible nutrition and exercise program. I have noticed that my clothes are a little more lose especially in the waistline area. The product is easy to take and am pleased with the results thus far.
These are great fat-burning capsules! I have been taking these for just over two weeks and I can see the difference. If you need to burn fat, this is for you. It works great!
Finally, a product that heelps your reduce fat. After viewing with Dr Oz, tried the ketones from Labrada and I have started to feel the waistline reduction. Works much better when you eat right and continue to exercise. My family and I will definitely continue to use this product.
I have been using this product for a few weeks now and have noticed my clothes don't fit as snug. If you are looking for something to help boost that weight loss along with a sensible nutrition and exercise plan, this is the way to go!
I recently saw a segment on the Dr. Oz show about the Raspberry Ketones and I have just ordered a few bottles. I can't wait to try them. The combination of Dr. Oz and Labrada is a win win for me!
