HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Raspberry Ketone by GT Genesis Today

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 product contains one active ingredient: raspberry ketone. It's derived from raspberries and has been used in foods for safety, though human research at supplement doses remains very limited.

The capsule itself is made from vegetable material (an inactive ingredient used as the capsule shell).

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Raspberry Ketone product and its label doesn't state a use — see Raspberry Ketone's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for raspberry ketone isn't established. We hold ratings of insufficient reliable evidence for both alopecia areata (a type of hair loss) and obesity—the two conditions most commonly studied.

That means current data aren't strong enough to say whether it works for either one. If you're considering it for any health purpose, talk it over with your doctor about whether the evidence supports trying it.

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 foods, but human safety data for high supplement doses is very limited. A small number of case reports describe stimulant-like side effects after taking raspberry ketone by mouth—heart palpitations, faster heart rate, high blood pressure, and in one severe case, a dangerous heart rhythm that resolved after stopping the supplement.

Other reports mention sweating, diarrhea, and shakiness. Because safety data at supplement doses are so limited, caution is warranted, especially if you have a history of heart problems or high blood pressure.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information, so these concentrated supplements are not recommended without talking to your doctor first.

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.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take stimulant drugs (including decongestants and ADHD medications)—raspberry ketone may increase the risk of cardiovascular side effects like heart palpitations and high blood pressure. If you take warfarin (Coumadin) or any other blood thinner, ask about dose monitoring, since this supplement may reduce warfarin's effectiveness.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Raspberry Ketone might be considered by someone wanting to try it for hair loss or weight management, though the evidence isn't established for either. If you take stimulant drugs or warfarin, this product is one to clear with your doctor or pharmacist first—dose adjustments or closer monitoring may be needed.

Because case reports of heart-related side effects exist and safety data are limited, anyone with heart conditions or high blood pressure should discuss this with their healthcare provider before starting.

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.
