Raspberry Ketone A Wonder Product

Fascination About Ketone

It was Dr Mehmet Oz who started this craze about Raspberry ketone. He was so fascinated by this product that he left his audience mesmerized with his speech. This Turkish American cardiothoracic surgeon declared his whole hearted support for the ketone supplement which he thought was a wonderful boon for the human race.

Research has shown that Raspberry ketone has the power to regulate adiponectin a hormone in our body whose function is to boost our metabolism.

Truly A Blessing

People are going crazy about this wonderful Raspberry ketone supplement for numerous reasons:

• Dr Oz's declaration about the magical quality of this supplement.

• The strong endorsement it has got from celebrity figures like Oprah Winfrey and Kim Kardashian.

• Research has shown that this compound has this amazing power to break up the fat cells thereby helping our body to burn more fat.

• Normally we are advised to take a dosage of 100 mg per day to get the benefit of this supplement. Now if we did not have this supplement it would be impossible to have 90 pounds of raspberries to get that amount directly from the fruit.

Other Uses

Garcinia Cambogia is a similar supplement to Raspberry Ketones. It has been placed in safe list by US Food and Drug Administration. So it is considered safe and permitted to be used in small quantities as food additive.

Its chemical name is 4-2-butanone and it is also used as an insect attractant. It is considered a flavouring agent because of its delectable aroma. This aroma has made it possible for it to be used in cosmetics though somewhat expensive at $20,000/kg.

Fair to Know

It is fair to let people know that there has been no clinical trial of Raspberry ketone done on human beings. All experiments regarding this supplement have been conducted on animals so far. So dieticians and physicians are a little cynical about its use and are not very sure about its miraculous property. It is not surprising therefore that they do not recommend it normally. Only assurance that they can give us is that if used in combination with physical exercise and well-balanced diet it could prove to be really effective.

Besides these information we should pay attention to the fact that research has recently shown that there have been certain side effects of stimulant. People have reported reactions like increased heart palpitation. In fact it is feared that it may have an adverse reaction with drugs like Coumadin. This drug is basically blood thinner and is taken by those with cardiac complications or clotting condition. Frankly speaking no research has been undertaken till now to confirm that there is no long term reaction of this supplement.

Doctors everywhere advise that taking the right portion size, right amount of calories, proteins, carbohydrate and fat would produce the desired result. Thus planning of meal is necessary and logical; logical in the sense that the meal should be enjoyable enough for people on diet so that they can stick with it for long. If people rather than running after these new fads now and then stick to a well-planned meal and exercise they would definitely benefit from it.
