Raspberry Ketones

Raspberry Ketones

Losing weight is a struggle many individuals face. In America, almost one-third of the adult population is overweight with close to an additional 40% weighing in as obese. Often, individuals begin new workout routines or jump into fad diets and lose steam when they experience limited results. In fact, only 15% of individuals who try to lose weight through conventional dietary means succeed in the long-term. Because of this, many are turning to health supplements like raspberry ketones to help them achieve and maintain their weight loss goals.

What are Raspberry Ketones?

Raspberry ketone is a natural substance found in red raspberries giving them their powerful aroma. It is a substance also found in small amounts in other fruits such as blackberries, cranberries, and kiwis. PureBulk's Raspberry Ketones are not synthetic. They are a botanical. Raspberry Ketones have been reported to increase the presence of adiponectin in the blood stream. The adiponectin is simply a protein that helps regulate our body's metabolism. It focuses primarily on metabolism of the fatty acids contained in the fat cells. The more adiponectin present in the body, the better able it is to clear out fat cells to use as energy. This is a process known as lipolysis. *

Potential Raspberry Ketone Uses and Benefits

Raspberry ketones are similar in molecular structure to capsaicin (a metabolism booster) and synephrine (a stimulant and weight loss supplement). As a result, researchers have speculated that raspberry ketones may convey similar benefits. Some of the most popular raspberry ketones uses include:

• Raspberry ketones may help with weight loss. Weight-loss support is the reason most individuals buy raspberry ketones. Animal studies have found raspberry ketone supplements increase fats breakdown as well as the release of adiponectin. Adiponectin is prevalent in much higher amounts in people of normal weight and the production of this hormone increase when individuals lose weight. As a result, raspberry ketones may support weight loss efforts.
• Raspberry ketones may enhance hair growth. When used topically, studies have shown raspberry ketones may be able to improve hair growth in individuals experiencing hair loss.
• Raspberry ketones may benefit skin elasticity. Raspberry ketones may be able to provide a more youthful appearance to the skin by improving firmness. One study examined the effects of raspberry ketones on skin elasticity in human females. After two weeks of use, researchers noted improvements in cheek skin elasticity.

Potential Raspberry Ketones Side Effects

As with any supplement, many individuals may wonder if raspberry ketones are safe. Raspberry ketones have been around for quite some time and are generally recognized as safe when used as a flavoring for foods. As a supplement, most individuals tolerate raspberry ketones well.

How to Take Raspberry Ketones

Individuals should take 1200mg per day (1/2 tsp) of raspberry ketone supplement to experience the best results.
