Raspberry ketone is the source of raspberry (raspberry) aroma. It is usually used to prepare food spices. It can also be used as a spice to add to cosmetics. "Natural" raspberry ketone comes from raspberry berry. Because raspberry has a short growth period and low yield, the price of "natural" raspberry ketone is very expensive. Most of the common raspberry ketones in the market are synthesized by chemical processing.      

Possible functions of raspberry ketone:  

    The chemical structure of raspberry ketone is similar to that of capsaicin in pepper and synephrine in bitter orange. Capsaicin and synephrine can promote lipolysis under experimental conditions. Because raspberry is similar to these substances in structure, experts began to study the weight loss function of raspberry ketone. Some animal studies have found that the amount of fat in mice has decreased after eating a high-fat diet containing 1% raspberry ketone. The preliminary experimental conclusion shows that raspberry ketone may increase the secretion of adiponectin (a hormone released by adipocytes), thus stimulating fat metabolism. Adiponectin can regulate insulin sensitivity. Adiponectin in obese people is usually low, and low adiponectin level may cause or aggravate diabetes and cardiovascular disease.  

    In addition,Raspberry ketoneThe possible efficacy also includes inhibiting fat accumulation caused by excessive fructose and fat absorption caused by decreased pancreatic lipase activity.
