HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Raspberry Ketones 150 mg by Reaction Nutrition

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 ketones at 150 mg per capsule. Raspberry ketone is a compound found naturally in raspberries, though the supplement form is typically lab-made.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — magnesium stearate, maltodextrin, gelatin, titanium dioxide, FD&C Red #40, and FD&C Blue #1 — which are fillers and binders.

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 metabolism support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, weight management, metabolic rate, body composition.
  • The closest evidence on file: Raspberry Ketone is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for raspberry ketones is not established. Our data rates it as having insufficient reliable evidence for both alopecia areata (hair loss) and obesity — the two conditions most often studied.

That means the research so far hasn't been solid enough to say whether it works or doesn't. If you're considering this for either of those reasons, talk it over with your doctor about what the current science actually supports.

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 ketones are used safely in foods, but safety data for high-dose supplements is very limited in humans. Case reports describe heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, elevated blood pressure, and in one serious case, a life-threatening heart rhythm problem.

A small number of people have also reported sweating, diarrhea, and shakiness. Because of the structural similarity to stimulants, people with heart conditions or sensitivity to stimulants should be especially cautious.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding due to lack of information.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Raspberry Ketone

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 before taking if you're on stimulant medications (including decongestants and some ADHD drugs) — raspberry ketone may increase the risk of heart palpitations and dangerous heart rhythms. Also alert your doctor or pharmacist if you take warfarin or another blood thinner, because the supplement may require your dose to be adjusted.

These interactions carry Moderate severity.

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 ketones carry documented risks with stimulant drugs and blood thinners, and the evidence that they actually work is weak. If you take heart medications, blood thinners, or any stimulant, this isn't a good fit without clearing it first with your doctor or pharmacist.

Even if you don't take those drugs, talk it over — the data on safety in people taking high-dose supplements is sparse.

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.

Yes. Based on its ingredients, Raspberry Ketones 150 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 150 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.
Does raspberry ketone actually help with weight loss?
The evidence isn't established. Our data rates it as having insufficient reliable evidence for obesity, meaning the research hasn't been solid enough to say whether it works. Don't count on it without talking to your doctor about what's actually proven.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information to know whether it's safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you.
What's raspberry ketone, and where does it come from?
It's a compound naturally found in raspberries, but the supplement form is usually made in a lab. While the compound is used safely in foods, high-dose supplements haven't been well studied in humans.
Could this cause heart problems?
Yes — case reports describe heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, and elevated blood pressure after taking raspberry ketone. One serious case involved a dangerous heart rhythm that needed emergency treatment. The supplement structurally resembles a stimulant, so if you have any heart condition, you need to talk with your doctor before taking it.
What inactive ingredients are in this capsule?
The capsule contains magnesium stearate, maltodextrin, gelatin, titanium dioxide, FD&C Red #40, and FD&C Blue #1 — these are fillers and binders. If you have allergies to any of these, check the label or ask your pharmacist.
