Raspberry ketones

You'd literally have to jump into a swimming pool full of the stuff and just start sucking it in, and even then, it would have no effect on you, and you'd probably die.

They gave the stuff to mice in very high doses, then Dr. Oz giggled and put it on TV.

i have tried them no side effects may a little jump of energy been taking them with green coffee extract for about three weeks lost couple inches off waist .

carefull you dont say the mfp 4 letter word (dr.oz)

If you actually wanted to use them, based on the research cited, you'd need to use them at doses approaching 2% of your body weight. At $20,000 per kilogram for actual raspberry ketones, I don't know about you but I weigh over 200 pounds (near 100 kilos) so I'd need to consume at least one kilo of them, so that's $20,000 a day.

At those prices, anything Dr Oz wants to sell you would have to have such a low concentration of actual ketones in it that there could not possibly be anything approaching a therapeutic dose in your body. Unless, of course, he's selling kilos of the stuff for $30 grand a day, at which point if you've got that kind of money to burn, go for it.

Personally, I'd drop $500 on a nice bicycle and go riding it every now and then. You'll get far better health benefits.

EDIT to add: Unless, of course, you are in to homeopathy. At which point, since efficacy increases as the product gets more diluted, the best tincture is pure water - it contains a completely 100% diluted homeopathic dose of everything in the Universe. Oh, except Hydrogen and Oxygen, since those are actually present.

I had a dream about raspberry zingers... does that count?

I don't get these fad supplements. If raspberries and acai berries and green tea have these great properties, isn't it more pleasant to just eat more of these foods than take weird pills that have who-knows-what else in them (stimulants, fillers, etc.)? I may be spoiled because I live in Manhattan and have every possible food imaginable available to me 24/7, so take my skepticism with a grain of artisan Himalayan salt.

I do take supplements like flax seed oil because I think actual flax seeds look like little dried up beetles and I don't feel like eating them. And I take gummy vitamins because I love gummies.

Otherwise I think if you want the health properties of raspberries, just go to the market and get some dang raspberries. If you want the benefits of green tea, buy a box of green tea (it probably costs like $1 rather than the costly supplements and then you have plenty of nice relaxing tea to enjoy).

I can't believe that you've been a member here since the beginning of 2011 and need to ask this question. I've been here half that time, seen this topic about 30 times and seen the same responses all the time too. Why would you waste your money, can we all just say it together "THERE IS NO QUICK FIX"

Did absolutely nothing for me at all. If you find they work for you I have two bottles of them you are more than welcome to.

I'm just looking for a supplement to add to give me a bit more energy in my day!

Exercise. Lots of beautiful sweaty exercise. Backed up by eating good, wholesome, protein rich foods, good quality fats, and high-quality complex carbohydrates.

As your cardiovascular efficiency increases and your body becomes well nourished, you'll find that you are BURSTING with energy.

No supplements required.

But if you want a quick fix, just drink black coffee or caffeinated tea. Unsweetened, of course - you don't need calories with your stimulant.
