HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Raspberry Ketone 250 mg by Trace Minerals Research

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: raspberry ketone at 250 mg per capsule. The capsule also holds inactive ingredients—rice dextrin, magnesium stearate, and silica—which are fillers and binders.

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 — see Raspberry Ketone's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: helps maintain healthy body weight.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, weight management, metabolic support.
  • The closest evidence on file: Raspberry Ketone is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for raspberry ketone is insufficient to rate. It's been studied for alopecia areata (a type of hair loss) and obesity, but reliable human data supporting those uses isn't established in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Raspberry Ketone

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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Raspberry ketone is used in foods safely, but human safety data for high supplement doses is very limited. The product carries case reports of stimulant-related side effects: heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, elevated blood pressure, and in rare instances, serious arrhythmias (dangerous heart rhythms).

A small number of case reports also describe sweating, diarrhea, and shakiness. During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety information—avoid concentrated supplements until you've talked with your doctor.

The same applies to breastfeeding: safety data is insufficient, so you should not use this supplement while nursing without guidance from your healthcare provider.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Raspberry Ketone

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 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Raspberry Ketone.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 174 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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this if you take stimulant drugs (a Moderate interaction risk) or warfarin (a Moderate interaction risk). Stimulants include many ADHD and weight-loss medications; warfarin is a common blood thinner used for clots and atrial fibrillation.

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.

Raspberry Ketone from Trace Minerals Research is not well established as effective for any condition based on current evidence. If you take a stimulant medication or warfarin, this product carries documented risks and needs a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? The safety data isn't there—check with your healthcare provider before taking it.

General Statements

Helps maintain healthy body weight.

Raspberry ketone is a natural phenolic compound that gives red raspberries their delightful aroma. Preclinical research suggests that it has potential to influence adiponectin, a hormone that modulates fatty acid catabolism and is inversely correlated with body fat levels.

Stimulant Drugs

Theoretically, raspberry ketone might increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular effects with stimulant drugs.
Structurally, raspberry ketone resembles synephrine, a known stimulant agent. Heart palpitations, elevated blood pressure, coronary vasospasm, pulseless electrical activity arrest, and resistant polymorphic ventricular tachycardia have been reported in patients taking raspberry ketone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, raspberry ketone might increase warfarin dose requirements.
In one case report, a patient taking warfarin 55 mg per week had a decrease in INR over a period of one month while taking raspberry ketone 250 mg daily. A warfarin dose increase to 70 mg per week was necessary to maintain a therapeutic INR while taking raspberry ketone. The mechanism for this potential interaction is not known.

Raspberry Ketone 250 mg by Trace Minerals Research: Common Questions

Does Raspberry Ketone 250 mg by Trace Minerals Research interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Raspberry Ketone 250 mg has a known interaction with 174 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Raspberry Ketone 250 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
Can I take raspberry ketone if I'm on a stimulant like Adderall or phentermine?
Not without checking first with your doctor or pharmacist. Raspberry ketone's structure resembles a stimulant agent, so taking it together may increase the risk of heart palpitations, high blood pressure, and dangerous heart rhythms. This is a Moderate-severity interaction—get clearance before combining them.
What if I take warfarin for a blood clot?
Tell your doctor before adding this supplement. One case report shows raspberry ketone reduced warfarin's effectiveness, requiring a dose increase to maintain therapeutic levels. Your INR would need closer monitoring if you start it.
Does raspberry ketone actually help with weight loss or hair loss?
The evidence isn't there yet. Studies on both obesity and alopecia areata (a type of hair loss) show insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for either use based on the data we hold.
What side effects has raspberry ketone caused?
Case reports describe heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, elevated blood pressure, and in rare instances serious heart rhythm problems. A few people also reported sweating, diarrhea, and shakiness. It's not well studied in humans, but stimulant-like side effects are possible.
Is it safe to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety information—the data advises against concentrated supplements during pregnancy, and you should not use this while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor about whether it's right for you.
Does this product contain fillers?
Yes, it contains rice dextrin, magnesium stearate, and silica as inactive ingredients to hold the capsule together and improve flow.
