HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Raspberry Ketones 250 Milligrams by NutraBio

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 250 milligrams per capsule. Raspberry ketone is a compound found naturally in red raspberries; it's been studied for possible effects on hair loss and weight, though the evidence remains limited.

The capsule itself is made from vegetable material.

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's effectiveness isn't established in our data. It's been studied for alopecia areata (patchy hair loss) and obesity, but in both cases, the research is rated as insufficient to draw reliable conclusions.

We can't tell you whether it works for these purposes based on current scientific data.

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 safely for years, but safety data for the high doses found in supplements is very limited in humans. The supplement does carry a risk of stimulant-type side effects — case reports describe heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, elevated blood pressure, sweating, diarrhea, and feelings of shakiness after taking it.

Because raspberry ketone resembles a stimulant drug structurally, anyone with heart concerns should be especially cautious. The safety information advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient data to know whether it's safe for you or your baby.

If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this supplement.

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 medications — including ADHD drugs, decongestants, and energy-boosting supplements — because raspberry ketone may increase heart palpitations and dangerous blood pressure spikes. Also double-check if you're on warfarin (Coumadin) or any other blood thinner, since this supplement may reduce its effectiveness and require 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 may appeal to you if you're interested in natural options for hair loss or weight management, but the evidence that it works is thin. More importantly, if you take stimulant medications (like ADHD drugs or decongestants) or blood thinners like warfarin, this product carries real interaction risks.

Check your exact medications with the tool on this page, and talk it over 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 250 Milligrams by NutraBio: Common Questions

Does Raspberry Ketones 250 Milligrams by NutraBio interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Raspberry Ketones 250 Milligrams 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 250 Milligrams 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 if I'm on a heart medication?
That depends on which one. Stimulant-related drugs and supplements are a major concern — raspberry ketone may trigger heart palpitations or dangerous heart rhythms in that setting. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific medication before starting.
What side effects might I notice?
Case reports mention heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, sweating, diarrhea, and shakiness. Human studies are limited, but because raspberry ketone resembles a stimulant compound, stimulant-type effects are possible. If you notice any of these, stop taking it and contact your doctor.
Is there reliable evidence it helps with hair loss or weight?
No. Both uses — for alopecia areata (patchy hair loss) and obesity — are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence to know whether it works. The research just isn't strong enough yet.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety information for either pregnancy or breastfeeding. The data advises avoiding concentrated supplements during both times. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
Does it have any fillers or just the active ingredient?
It's one active ingredient — the raspberry ketone — inside a vegetable capsule. The capsule is the only inactive ingredient.
