HelloPharmacist Scorecard of CLK Raspberry Flavored Softgels by Cellucor

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

CLK contains four active ingredients. L-carnitine is an amino acid your body uses to convert fat into energy and support heart and muscle function.

7-keto-DHEA is a hormone derivative that early research has looked at for weight and mood, though the evidence is still developing. Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) and Razberi-K are included for their potential metabolic roles.

The softgels also contain several inactive ingredients — gelatin, glycerin, wax, lecithin, and food colorants — that serve as the capsule shell and flavorings.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: weight loss and body composition support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, Metabolic syndrome, Athletic performance, fat loss, body toning, metabolic rate.
  • The closest evidence on file: 7-keto-dhea is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: 7-keto-dhea is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity.
  • Also on file: L-carnitine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance, Obesity, Metabolic syndrome.

L-carnitine is effective for treating L-carnitine deficiency itself. It's rated possibly effective for high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), heart failure (congestive heart failure or CHF), and angina — meaning the evidence suggests it may help, but more research is needed.

7-keto-DHEA lacks established evidence in the data we hold. The conditions it's been studied for — obesity, depression, PTSD, aging — are all rated insufficient reliable evidence to rate, meaning we don't yet know if it works for these.

Effectiveness data for Conjugated Linoleic Acid and Razberi-K is not on file.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient L-carnitine 7-keto-dhea

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

L-carnitine is generally well tolerated at typical doses. The most common side effects are digestive — stomach cramps, pain, diarrhea, heartburn, nausea, and loss of appetite — and some people report a fishy body odor.

Seizures have been reported rarely. High doses carry a higher risk of stomach upset.

7-keto-DHEA has limited safety data. Short-term use in small studies appears tolerated, but long-term safety isn't established.

A handful of trial participants reported nausea or dizziness. Because it's a hormone-related supplement, safety data during pregnancy is not sufficient, and it's best avoided while breastfeeding.

For L-carnitine, safety during breastfeeding is not well studied, so caution is advised — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — L-carnitine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 19 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take warfarin or acenocoumarol (blood thinners), L-carnitine in this product may increase their anticoagulant effects (Moderate severity). If you take thyroid hormone replacement, L-carnitine may decrease its effectiveness (Moderate severity).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may work for you if you're interested in supporting fat metabolism and energy, though the evidence for weight loss itself isn't on file here. If you take a blood thinner or thyroid medication, you need to check with us or your pharmacist first — L-carnitine can interact with both.

L-Carnitine3 drug types · 19 drugs

Acenocoumarol (Sintrom)

Theoretically, L-carnitine might increase the anticoagulant effects of acenocoumarol.
L-carnitine might enhance the anticoagulant effects of acenocoumarol, an oral anticoagulant similar to warfarin, but shorter-acting. There are at least two case reports of INR elevation with concomitant use. In one case, a 33-year-old male with a previously stable INR had an elevated INR of 4.65 after L-carnitine was started and continued for 10 weeks. INR normalized after discontinuation of the L-carnitine-containing product.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Thyroid Hormone

Theoretically, L-carnitine might decrease the effectiveness of thyroid hormone replacement.
L-carnitine appears to act as a peripheral thyroid hormone antagonist by inhibiting entry of thyroid hormone into the nucleus of cells. Taking L-carnitine also seems to diminish some of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, L-carnitine might increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
L-carnitine might increase the anticoagulant effects of acenocoumarol, a shorter-acting oral anticoagulant similar to warfarin. There is not enough information to know whether this interaction occurs with L-carnitine and warfarin.

CLK Raspberry Flavored Softgels by Cellucor: Common Questions

Does CLK Raspberry Flavored Softgels by Cellucor interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, CLK Raspberry Flavored Softgels has a known interaction with 19 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
CLK Raspberry Flavored Softgels contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this help me lose weight?
L-carnitine is rated possibly effective for high cholesterol and heart conditions, but effectiveness data for weight loss specifically isn't established in the data we hold. Effectiveness data for the other active ingredients — 7-keto-DHEA, Conjugated Linoleic Acid, and Razberi-K — is also not on file.
What's L-carnitine supposed to do?
L-carnitine is an amino acid that helps your body convert fat into energy and supports heart and muscle function. It's proven effective for treating L-carnitine deficiency, and research suggests it may help with high cholesterol and heart conditions like angina and heart failure, though more evidence is needed.
What's 7-keto-DHEA?
7-keto-DHEA is a compound derived from DHEA, a hormone your body naturally makes. It's been studied for potential effects on weight, mood, and aging, but the evidence isn't established yet — all those uses are rated insufficient reliable evidence to rate.
Can L-carnitine cause side effects?
Most common are digestive issues — stomach cramps and pain, diarrhea, heartburn, nausea, and reduced appetite. Some people report a fishy body odor. At high doses, stomach upset is more likely. Seizures have been reported rarely.
Is it safe to take while breastfeeding?
L-carnitine's safety during breastfeeding isn't well studied, so caution is advised — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice. For 7-keto-DHEA, there's no reliable safety information available, so it's best avoided while breastfeeding.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
L-carnitine's safety in pregnancy isn't on file. For 7-keto-DHEA, there isn't enough safety data — and because it's hormone-related, it's best avoided in pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
