HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Raspberry Ketone by AFI America's Finest

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 10, 2026

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 supplement contains one active ingredient: raspberry ketone, a compound extracted from red raspberries. Raspberry ketone is the substance that gives raspberries their aroma and is also used in food flavoring.

The capsule also contains three inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide — which serve as a filler, lubricant, and anti-caking agent.

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: fat burning and weight loss.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, metabolic rate, appetite regulation.
  • The closest evidence on file: Raspberry Ketone is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for raspberry ketone is limited. For both alopecia areata (a condition causing hair loss) and obesity, the data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to establish whether it works.

This doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means human studies haven't yet provided solid proof of benefit at supplement doses.

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 safely in food, but safety data for high supplement doses in humans is very limited. Because its structure resembles a stimulant drug, stimulant-related side effects are possible, though not well studied.

Case reports describe heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, elevated blood pressure, and in rare instances, serious heart rhythm problems. A few people have also reported sweating, diarrhea, and shakiness.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety information, so concentrated supplements should be avoided. The same applies to breastfeeding — safety data is insufficient, so supplemental use is not advised.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for your situation.

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 taking this product if you use stimulant drugs (the Moderate risk of heart effects is the main concern here) or warfarin. Altogether, these interactions span 174 individual medications.

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 might appeal to those interested in weight management or hair health, but evidence for either use is not yet established. The bigger concern is if you take a stimulant medication or warfarin — the documented interactions could affect how these drugs work and carry real risks.

Before you start, check your medications with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you have heart conditions, take stimulants, or use blood thinners.

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 by AFI America's Finest: Common Questions

Does Raspberry Ketone by AFI America's Finest interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Raspberry Ketone 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 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.
What is raspberry ketone and where does it come from?
Raspberry ketone is a natural compound found in red raspberries that gives them their smell. It's also made synthetically and used as a food flavoring. This supplement is a concentrated dose of that single compound.
Does raspberry ketone actually help with weight loss?
The evidence isn't established yet. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to say whether it works for obesity, so we can't confirm a benefit based on current studies.
Is it safe to take during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
No — there isn't enough safety information. You should avoid concentrated raspberry ketone supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you.
What are the possible side effects?
Because raspberry ketone resembles a stimulant, stimulant-like side effects are possible, though they aren't well studied. Case reports mention heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, elevated blood pressure, and in rare instances, serious heart rhythm problems. Some people have reported sweating, diarrhea, and shakiness.
Can I take this if I'm on a blood thinner like warfarin?
Not without talking to your doctor first. Raspberry ketone may reduce how well warfarin works by speeding up how your body clears it, which means your blood clot risk could go up. Your doctor might need to adjust your warfarin dose if you take both.
What's in the capsule besides the active ingredient?
The capsule contains microcrystalline cellulose (a filler), magnesium stearate (a lubricant), and silicon dioxide (an anti-caking agent). These are common inactive ingredients in supplements.
