HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Raspberry Ketone 375 mg by Healthy Natural Systems

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.

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: chromium and raspberry ketone. Chromium is a mineral that plays a role in how your body handles blood sugar and may support glucose metabolism.

Raspberry ketone is a compound found naturally in raspberries; it's structurally similar to synephrine, a stimulant compound. The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients—dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, a coating, magnesium stearate, and silica—that help hold the tablet together and aid absorption.

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: promotes body fat reduction and weight loss.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, Metabolic syndrome, Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), overweight, adiposity, weight management.
  • The closest evidence on file: Chromium is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Chromium is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity, Metabolic syndrome.
  • Also on file: Raspberry Ketone is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity.

Chromium is likely effective for chromium deficiency and possibly effective for type 2 diabetes, though the evidence is more mixed for prediabetes, schizophrenia, and high blood pressure. Raspberry ketone's effectiveness isn't well established; the data we hold shows insufficient evidence to rate it for hair loss (alopecia areata) or weight loss (obesity).

Most of the evidence for raspberry ketone is anecdotal or from animal studies, not human trials.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chromium 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 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.

Chromium is generally well tolerated at typical supplement doses, but the safety notes advise caution with higher or long-term doses. The most common side effects are mild—gastrointestinal irritation, headaches, insomnia, and mood changes.

Rare serious effects include kidney and liver damage, rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), and low platelet counts; skin rashes and contact dermatitis are also uncommon. Raspberry ketone safety data in humans is very limited, especially at high supplement doses.

Stimulant-like side effects are possible because it resembles synephrine; case reports describe heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, and even serious arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), along with sweating, diarrhea, and shakiness. Chromium is rated Likely or Possibly Safe in pregnancy (small amounts from a balanced diet or prenatal vitamin are acceptable, but extra supplements should be avoided unless your doctor advises it).

Raspberry ketone is rated to avoid in both pregnancy and lactation due to insufficient safety data.

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Chromium, Raspberry Ketone.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 336 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.

Before taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take antidiabetes drugs or insulin (risk of low blood sugar), levothyroxine or other thyroid hormone (may reduce absorption), warfarin or other blood thinners (may reduce effectiveness), stimulant drugs like decongestants or ADHD medications (risk of heart problems), or NSAIDs and aspirin (may raise chromium levels).

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 is most relevant if you're interested in chromium's support for blood sugar management and have no interacting medications. However, if you take diabetes drugs, insulin, thyroid hormone, blood thinners, stimulants, or NSAIDs, you'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—and the limited safety data for raspberry ketone at supplement doses means it's worth discussing before you begin, especially if you have heart concerns.

Chromium5 drug types · 178 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, chromium may have additive effects with antidiabetic agents and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Some research shows that taking chromium might lower blood glucose levels, especially in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Insulin

Theoretically, concomitant use of chromium and insulin might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In clinical research, chromium has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity,

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Levothyroxine (Synthroid, Others)

Chromium might bind levothyroxine in the intestinal tract and decrease levothyroxine absorption.
Clinical research in healthy volunteers shows that taking chromium picolinate 1000 mcg with levothyroxine 1 mg decreases serum levels of levothyroxine by 17% when compared to taking levothyroxine alone. Advise patients to take levothyroxine at least 30 minutes before or 3-4 hours after taking chromium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Aspirin

Theoretically, aspirin might increase chromium absorption.
Animal research suggests that aspirin may increase chromium absorption and chromium levels in the blood.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (Nsaids)

NSAIDs might increase chromium levels in the body.
Drugs that are prostaglandin inhibitors, such as NSAIDs, seem to increase chromium absorption and retention.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Chromium full monograph & interactions

Raspberry Ketone2 drug types · 174 drugs

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 375 mg by Healthy Natural Systems: Common Questions

Does Raspberry Ketone 375 mg by Healthy Natural Systems interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Raspberry Ketone 375 mg has a known interaction with 336 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Raspberry Ketone 375 mg contains 2 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.
Can I take this if I'm on insulin or diabetes medication?
No, not without checking first. Chromium in this product may lower blood sugar further and raise the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's safe for you.
What if I take thyroid medication (Synthroid)?
Chromium may bind to levothyroxine in your gut and reduce how much your body absorbs, making your thyroid medication less effective. Your doctor should know you're taking this before you start.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
Chromium in small amounts from food or a prenatal vitamin is generally considered acceptable, but extra chromium supplements are best avoided unless your doctor advises it. Raspberry ketone is not recommended during pregnancy due to limited safety data—talk with your doctor before taking it.
Does this product actually work for weight loss?
The evidence we hold for raspberry ketone shows insufficient data to rate its effectiveness for weight loss. Most claims rest on limited animal studies or anecdotal reports, not solid human research.
What are the most common side effects?
Chromium most often causes mild gastrointestinal upset, headaches, insomnia, and mood changes. Raspberry ketone may cause stimulant-like effects like heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, elevated blood pressure, sweating, and diarrhea, though human data is sparse.
Can I take this with blood thinners like warfarin?
Probably not safely without close monitoring. Raspberry ketone may reduce warfarin's effectiveness, potentially requiring a higher dose to stay protective. Your doctor would need to watch your INR levels closely if you combined them.
