The Effectiveness Of Raspberry Ketone In Dieting
There has been a recent trend among dieters, at least in the USA; back in February of this year, Raspberry Ketone (RK) was reviewed on a popular TV show in the USA about its effectiveness for losing weight.
Since the TV review, the sale of RK has substantially increased.
However, there are still skeptics out there that doubt the effectiveness of RK since there hasn't been much (if any) RK research conducted with humans.
RK is either extracted from red raspberries or made synthetically; it can also be used as a food additive.
Raspberry ketone research originated from a 1995 study.
This study was published in the journal of Life Sciences where Japanese researchers reported their findings that mice on a high fat diet, supplemented with RK, did not become obese.
Traditionally, there has been a lot of scientific research conducted that started with experimentation on guinea pigs, mice, hamsters, or other animals.
Typically, the findings could be generalized to human beings and RK has been found to be very effective at reducing fat in mice.
Furthermore, a good number of people have reported good results using raspberry ketone to lose weight.
I personally lost 15 pounds within a 30 day period using raspberry ketone.
There were no changes in my dietary or exercise patterns.
In my particular case, the weight loss was gradual but effortless.
Most of the people taking RK, to lose weight, reported that they had more energy.
I also felt noticeably more energetic while taking RK.
I have presently dropped down to the desired weight that I wanted to attain but I am considering starting the RK regiment again, just for the extra energy.
Previous research has shown that RK helped mice in breaking down fat cells.
Thus, less of the fat ingested by the mice was allowed for storage in their bodies.
Raspberry Ketone increased norepinephrine-induced lipolysis in mice causing a quicker breakdown of white fat cells.
The molecular structure of RK is similar to capsaicin and synephrine, which are both thermogenic (aiding metabolism by heat escalation in the cells).
Research also showed that RK prevented elevated triglyceride levels in mice even when the mice were on a high-fat diet.
RK is also high in fiber and is a great antioxidant.
In the near future, more weight loss research will likely be conducted with humans taking raspberry ketone.
However, it's likely that any research conducted with humans will replicate similar findings as those conducted with mice.
