Manufacturer’s Claim

Raspberry ketones have become a popular supplement for losing weight. They are the chemical found in raspberries that give them their strong aroma. Scientists found them to be similar to the chemical found in chili peppers, capsaicin. Studies were conducted on mice and the raspberry ketones were found to help the mice lose weight after being put on a high-fat diet. However, not all raspberry ketone supplements contain the necessary quantity and quality of raspberry ketones to actually provide results. This review examines the product Puritan’s Pride Raspberry Ketones.

Formula

The manufacturer’s website does not provide much information about this product. The only information about the ingredients they provide is that it contains 100mg of raspberry ketones per serving which is one capsule. Raspberry ketones are believed to help the body burn fat and also increase metabolism to help you lose weight. However, for the raspberry ketones to be effective, they need to be derived from actual raspberries and not be synthetically manufactured, something this manufacturer fails to mention. The manufacturer states this extract is encased in rapid release capsules.

Instructions

Unfortunately, the manufacturer has not provided many details about this product not have the provided an image of their product’s label on their website. We did our own search and found an image of the label on a third-party retailer’s site. It is recommended to take two capsules a day; one capsule taken twice a day with meals. This will provide you with a daily 200mg dosage of raspberry ketones which is significantly lower than quite a number of other products on the market.

Cost

You can buy this product directly from the manufacturer’s website for an extremely low price. The manufacturer has two purchasing options available. You can buy two bottles for $3.49 or five bottles for $6.98. While finding a cheap product may seem like a win, this further adds to our concerns about the quality of this product.

Possible Side Effects

The manufacturer has not mentioned any side effects of taking this product, though their label states that you should consult a doctor if you do experience any adverse effects. This product is not designed for children under the age of 18. Pregnant and nursing women and anyone with a history of medical conditions should consult their doctor before taking this product.

Guarantee

Puritan’s Pride provides an excellent one-year money-back guarantee with this product. If you are not completely satisfied, you are able to return the unused portion of the product for a refund. This only applies to customers in the United States who bought directly from the manufacturer.

Puritan’s Pride Raspberry Ketones Review – The Bottom Line

The price of this product is very attractive, but it does concern us about the quality. The dosage of the product is very low and it is not specified where the raspberry ketones are derived from. The one redeeming quality of the product is its one-year money back guarantee, though we feel its best to look for a product that’s more likely to work rather than being able to return a product because it doesn’t. There are other more effective products on the market that also come with money-back guarantees.
