HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Raspberry Ketones 125 mg by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals

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 125 mg per capsule. Raspberry ketone is a naturally occurring compound found in red raspberries; it's also used as a food flavoring.

The capsule itself is made from gelatin and several inactive ingredients including dicalcium phosphate, sodium starch glycolate, magnesium stearate, silica, and food colorings.

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

The evidence for raspberry ketone's effectiveness is insufficient. Our data shows no reliable evidence to rate it for alopecia areata (hair loss condition) or obesity.

While it's marketed for weight and hair concerns, human studies don't yet support these claims 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 foods, but safety data for high supplement doses in humans is very limited. Because it structurally resembles a stimulant, case reports describe heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, elevated blood pressure, and in one serious case, a dangerous heart rhythm that required treatment.

Other reported side effects include sweating, diarrhea, and shakiness. During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety information—the data advises against concentrated supplements.

Similarly, there isn't enough data on safety while breastfeeding, so concentrated supplements are not recommended.

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 any stimulant drugs (including prescription or over-the-counter stimulants)—the combination carries a Moderate risk of serious heart effects. Also check if you take warfarin; raspberry ketone may reduce how well it works and require a dose adjustment.

Because of the stimulant-like structure of raspberry ketone, heart-related side effects are a concern even without other drugs.

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 may appeal to people seeking support for weight or hair concerns, but the evidence for either is not yet established. If you take stimulants or warfarin, you should talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product—the interactions could affect your heart safety or how well your blood thinner works.

Even without those medications, the limited human safety data and reported cases of heart symptoms mean you should discuss it with your own healthcare provider first.

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.
