HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Raspberry Ketones by Vitamin World

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.

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. The capsule also holds several inactive ingredients — vegetable cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, gelatin, silica, and vegetable magnesium stearate — which are used as fillers and binders to hold the supplement together.

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 ketones is insufficient. We hold effectiveness ratings for alopecia areata (hair loss in patches) and obesity, but both show there's not enough reliable evidence to rate it as effective for either.

If you're considering this supplement for a particular reason, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the research backing it up is strong enough for your situation.

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 supplement doses is very limited in humans. Because of stimulant-like properties, case reports describe heart palpitations, fast heartbeat, high blood pressure, and in rare cases, serious arrhythmias after taking it.

A small number of people have also reported sweating, diarrhea, and shakiness. The safety data advises against using this supplement during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant or nursing and interested in this product, talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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.

Double-check this product if you take stimulant drugs (Moderate severity risk of heart problems) or warfarin (Moderate severity risk of needing a dose adjustment). Because there are 174 medications involved in the documented interactions, use the medication checker on this page to verify your exact drugs before starting.

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 ketones aren't proven effective for the uses commonly listed, and the limited human safety data — especially the case reports of heart problems — means this is worth discussing with your own doctor or pharmacist first. If you take stimulant drugs or blood thinners like warfarin, this product isn't appropriate without checking with your healthcare provider.

This is one to clear before you start.

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 by Vitamin World: Common Questions

Does Raspberry Ketones by Vitamin World interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Raspberry Ketones 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 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.
Is raspberry ketone safe during pregnancy?
The safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information to know whether concentrated supplements are safe during pregnancy, so we recommend avoiding this product and talking with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant and considering it.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
Does raspberry ketone actually work for weight loss?
The evidence is insufficient. We don't have reliable data showing it's effective for obesity, so we can't say it works for that purpose. Check with your doctor about weight loss options with stronger evidence behind them.
What side effects might I experience?
Because raspberry ketone has a structure similar to stimulants, stimulant-like side effects are possible — including heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, and sweating or shakiness. In rare cases, serious arrhythmias have been reported. If you experience any heart symptoms, stop and contact your healthcare provider right away.
Why does this interact with so many medications?
Raspberry ketone has documented interactions with 174 individual medications across two main categories: stimulant drugs (which carry a risk of serious heart effects when combined) and warfarin (where it may speed up how your body clears the drug). The large number reflects the breadth of stimulants used in medicine and warfarin's wide use.
