HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Raspberry Ketones 100 mg by Sundown Naturals

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.

Raspberry Ketones 100 mg contains one active ingredient: raspberry ketone, a compound extracted from red raspberries. The capsule also contains several inactive ingredients — vegetable cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, gelatin, silica, and vegetable magnesium stearate — which serve as the capsule material and binding agents.

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 in the data we hold. For both hair loss (alopecia areata) and weight management (obesity), the rating is insufficient reliable evidence to rate — meaning the studies so far haven't been strong enough to confirm whether it works.

Human safety data for supplement doses is also very limited, even though raspberry ketone is used safely in food.

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 has been used in foods without known problems, but safety data for high supplement doses is sparse in humans. Stimulant-related side effects are possible — case reports describe heart palpitations, tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), elevated blood pressure, and sweating or shakiness after taking raspberry ketone.

One rare but serious case involved a life-threatening heart rhythm abnormality that resolved after the supplement was stopped. During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety information — avoid concentrated supplements.

The same applies while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

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, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take stimulant drugs (including over-the-counter decongestants or energy-boosting medications) or warfarin. Raspberry ketone may increase the risk of heart-related side effects with stimulants and may reduce warfarin's effectiveness, requiring a dose adjustment.

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 has insufficient evidence to show it works for hair loss or weight management. More concerning, it can interact with stimulant medications and blood thinners like warfarin, and case reports link it to serious heart effects.

If you take any stimulants or warfarin, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor or pharmacist 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.

Raspberry Ketones 100 mg by Sundown Naturals: Common Questions

Does Raspberry Ketones 100 mg by Sundown Naturals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Raspberry Ketones 100 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 Ketones 100 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 this while on warfarin?
Not without checking first. Raspberry ketone may reduce how well warfarin works and could require your dose to be increased. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — they'll need to monitor your blood thinner levels if you do use it together.
Is raspberry ketone safe to take if I'm pregnant?
There isn't enough safety information. The data advises against using concentrated supplements during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information. The data advises against supplement use while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to weigh your options.
Does raspberry ketone really help with weight loss?
The evidence isn't strong enough to say. The rating in our data is insufficient reliable evidence — meaning studies haven't confirmed whether it works for obesity.
What side effects have been reported?
Heart palpitations, elevated blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, sweating, and shakiness are the most common reports. One rare case involved a serious heart rhythm abnormality. Because it resembles a stimulant compound, stimulant-like side effects are possible even though it hasn't been well studied in humans.
Why does this product have so many medication interactions if there's only one ingredient?
That one ingredient — raspberry ketone — affects how your body handles a large number of different medications. It can slow or speed up how your liver processes drugs, which is why the interaction count is high even though the product itself is simple.
