Raspberry Ketones [4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) butan-2-one] are natural compounds found in red raspberries and are primarily responsible for the raspberry’s unique aroma. But there is definitely more to Raspberry Ketones than a sweet smell. Research has found that these compounds regulate Adiponectin, a special protein used by the body to regulate a number of metabolic processes, including glucose regulation, fatty acid catabolism, and thermogenesis.
The recommended dosage of Raspberry Ketones is 100mg-200mg per day. To receive the same benefit from the whole fruit, you would need to consume 90-180 pounds of fresh raspberries per day.
Supplementing your diet with a supplement containing 100% pure Raspberry Ketones is the quickest and most effective way to receive the daily recommended dosage of this powerful ingredient.
Conclusion
Raspberry ketone prevents and improves obesity and fatty liver in certain animal models. While the exact mechanism has not been thoroughly understood, these effects appear to stem from the action of raspberry ketone in altering the lipid metabolism, or more specifically, in increasing norepinephrine-induced lipolysis in white adipocytes (fat cells).
Scientists speculate that raspberry ketone stimulates the energy metabolism via a mechanism similar to that of capsaicin. Capsaicin, a compound found in chili peppers, has been looked at in humans for weight loss.
