Update 9/14/19. What are raspberry ketones and do they work? Well, if you watch the Dr. Oz Show, you may have heard Dr. Oz call raspberry ketones “The #1 miracle in a bottle to burn your fat.” Since he made that bold statement, I've heard that raspberry ketone supplements are sold so fast that vitamin stores can't keep them on the shelves! So, what I'd like to do is review the raspberry ketone research — minus the hype that you have already heard about. Only in this way can you make an informed decision about whether raspberry ketone is right for you. Other names for this supplement include red raspberry ketone, and European red raspberry, as well as the more scientific names Rubus idaeus, Rubus strigosus and Framboise Rouge. I'm telling you these other names because if you just searched for “raspberry ketone” you may not find all of the information available. For this review, I'm pretty much going to stick to just calling it raspberry ketone.
What Are Raspberry Ketones?
Red raspberry ketones are one of many compounds in raspberries and are what gives raspberries their unique smell. Like all things that come from fruits and vegetables, raspberries contain a lot of substances that are healthy —including anthocyanins, vitamin C and beta carotene. As such, raspberry ketones are also antioxidants.
Raspberry ketones also “look” similar to synephrine and capsicum — two ingredients that have been used in many weight loss supplements over the years such as the fat burner promoted by Jillian Michaels. This similarity is likely why scientists considered raspberry ketones as a weight loss agent itself.
Weight loss supplements that contain raspberry ketones include QuickTrim — the Kim Kardashian supplement —and Apidexin. See my reviews on those products for more information.
Ketone trivia. The name ketone is a chemistry term. That's not important. I just thought people might like to know where the word came from. On some websites they spell ketone as “keytone” but this is an incorrect spelling of the word. Again, not important.
Tip. Keep in mind as you read this review that raspberry ketones are not the same thing as ketones that are made when people go on low-carb diets or in people who are diabetic. Those ketones are not the same as raspberry ketones.
Raspberry Ketones And Weight Loss
When Dr. Oz asked his fitness expert, Lisa Lynn (more about her below) on TV, how she found out about the weight loss properties of raspberry ketones, Lisa said “Research research research.” So, I looked up the research on raspberry ketones and this is what I discovered.
In a study published in 2005, titled the Anti Obesity Action of Raspberry Ketone, the supplement was given to mice that were fed a high-fat diet for several weeks. Mice were split into different groups, each getting the same calories but getting different amounts of raspberry ketones (either 0.5%, 1% or 2%).
The diets were about 40% fat in each group. Researchers noted that raspberry ketones — that made up between 1% and 2% of total calories — caused a reduction in body weight and fat buildup in the livers of mice after 10 weeks of use, compared to mice that only were fed a high-fat diet.
Norepinephrine (also called noradrenaline ) is a chemical made in the adrenal glands that act as a neurotransmitter and does many things, one of which includes helping to burn fat. This study also incubated isolated mouse fat cells in norepinephrine along with raspberry ketones to see what would happen.
The researchers observed that the combination of raspberry ketones and norepinephrine caused more fat to leave the fat cells than norepinephrine alone.
This is why Dr. Oz said raspberry ketones cause fat cells to shrink.
I'm telling you this because various websites claim that raspberry ketones increase levels of norepinephrine. However, this study did not show that.
Rather, the researches only showed that raspberry ketones appeared to improve the fat-burning ability of norepinephrine.
This is actually a good thing because too much norepinephrine can be bad. For example norepinephrine can raise blood pressure.
Oddly, this study noted that while a 1% intake of raspberry ketones tended to raise triglyceride levels in the mice, eating it at a concentration of 5% of total calories tended to reduce triglycerides.
These researchers also quoted previous studies noting that raspberry ketones raised metabolic rates—in rats. That's interesting, but where's the proof that raspberry ketones raise metabolism in people?
Bottom Line: This was just a mouse study —and a small study at that! Each group only had 6 mice.
Also, if we really want to be technical, all the mice were male. What about female mice? Would raspberry ketones have the same weight loss effects in female mice —or more importantly —women?
In another study, published in 2010, researchers found that red raspberry ketones inhibited weight gain and improved fat burning in mice that were fed a high-fat diet. Researchers also noted that raspberry ketones increase levels of adiponectin, a hormone made in fat cells.
The Wikipedia page on adiponectin goes into more detail, discussing how the hormone does a variety of things including improving the sensitivity of insulin— (good for diabetics).
Dr. Oz said that Adiponectin was the “hormone that tricks the body into thinking it's thin.”When we put on weight, we reduce the ability of the adiponectin hormone to work.”
Sounds good, but red raspberries have only been shown to reduce adiponectin in mice. What about people? Have raspberry ketone supplements been proven to help people lose weight by raising adiponectin levels? Nope. Not yet.
Tip. There is more evidence that exercise raises adiponectin levels than for raspberry ketones —and exercise has been shown to work in people!
One study from 2013 appeared to show that a supplement – containing raspberry ketones – helped weight loss. But there were several ingredients in that supplement. Also, of the 70 people who originally signed up, only 45 people made it to the end. That's a big drop amount.
There is a study published in 2017 that noted, that raspberry ketones might reduce food intake in mice who were fed a high-fat diet. Again, this is a mouse study.
So, what's the evidence for raspberry ketones and weight loss? It looks like some mouse studies. What about people?
Are Raspberry Ketones Better With Capsaicin?
Capsaicin is found in chili peppers and synephrine is an extract from oranges. Both have been used in weight loss products in the past. Because raspberry ketones “look” like both capsicum and synephrine, I predict that you will see weight loss products that have all three of these ingredients.
But, would they all work better together? I don't know because there is no proof either way. Because of that, I recommend you save your money on weight loss pills that combine (“stack”) capsaicin, synephrine, and raspberry ketones.
Synephrine, in particular, is not without problems. It can raise heart rate and blood pressure which can make it dangerous for a lot of people.
Who Is Lisa Lynn?
Dr. Oz called Lisa Lynn a “fitness expert” on his TV show when he did a segment on this supplement— but who is she? I checked into her background and found her website (LynFit.com) that notes that Lisa Lynn was the personal trainer of Martha Stewart.
Her website does indicate that Lisa holds multiple personal training certifications.
All this is fine but on her website, we see Lisa Lynn also has her own line of supplements (called “Lyn Fit”) She even has a raspberry ketone supplement on her website.
In a previous segment of the Dr. Oz show, Lisa Lynn also extolled the virtues of the metabolism booster/weight loss supplement, Coleus Forskohlii. Lisa has this supplement on her website also.
See the review on Coleus Forskohlii for more information.
Look, I'm sure she's a nice person and a great personal trainer —and I am all for capitalism – but where is all the raspberry ketone research? As far as I see, it's just some mouse studies.
How Much Raspberry Ketones Do You Need?
If raspberry ketones help people lose weight, how much works? Nobody knows because there are no human studies of raspberry ketones and weight loss. If we believe the mouse studies (which I don't), it appears that a concentration of 1% of total calorie intake might help weight loss. If that is correct, then the number of raspberry ketones needed would be different for different calorie intakes.
For example, a person who consumes 1800 calories per day would need less than a person who eats 2000 calories per day.
When asked “how much works” on the Dr. Oz Show, Lisa Lynn said to take 100 mg at breakfast— and if that didn't help, to go to 200 mg. Where did she get these numbers from? She doesn't tell us.
I guessing that this might be the human dose, extrapolated from what researchers gave the lab mice? But, I see no good proof that 100-200 mg of raspberry ketones per day helps people lose weight. It might—but I just don't know.
In this toxicology report on raspberry ketones, the authors mention a dosage of 100-1400 mg per day is often mentioned on the internet. That is a pretty big range, which again, says to me, nobody has any idea.
Raspberry Ketones And Appetite
Various websites make the claim that supplements can reduce appetite. But I see no proof of this. Even the mouse studies, do not state that raspberry ketone supplements suppress appetite.
Anti-Aging Effects Of Raspberry Ketones
Can raspberry ketone supplements slow down the aging process? Do they reduce wrinkles? Well, red raspberry ketones do have some antioxidant effects but it's a long shot to go from that to say that they are “anti-aging.”
Raspberry ketones may be found in some cosmetics because they seem to have a skin whitening effect —at least in skins of mice. That's fine, but I recommend you save your money on raspberry ketone anti-aging supplements. They are not an “anti-aging superfood.”
For those who really want a “superfood,” eat raspberries! Here's why: antioxidants work best in small amounts and when they are eaten in combination with the other ingredients in food. Because of this fact, raspberries are better than raspberry ketone supplements when it comes to being healthy.
Raspberry Ketone Side Effects
In healthy people, raspberry ketones are probably safe. That said, those who are not healthy or take medications should speak to their doctor/pharmacist first. Here are a few things to consider when taking this supplement. This list is not complete.
- Start with less than recommended for the first week
- Pregnant or nursing women should also speak to their doctor
- Stop taking the product at least 2 weeks before having surgery
There are only trace amounts of raspberry ketones in raspberries so they are no the same thing as supplements. This toxicology report states that there is only 4.3 mg per 2.2 pounds of raspberries. Just because raspberries are safe does not mean concentrated supplements of raspberry ketones are also safe.
One of the mouse studies summarized above noted that raspberry ketones raised triglyceride levels. Does this mean they also raise triglycerides and cholesterol levels in people?
Since raspberry ketones appear to have some chemical similarity to synephrine, be careful if you have high blood pressure or heart conditions. Synephrine might raise blood pressure and heart rate.
A report from Denmark publishedhas raised some concerns that the supplement may have toxic potential but there is little human evidence for this.
Some have speculated that these supplements may be inappropriate for those with cancers that are sensitive to estrogen levels. This is based on a concern that raspberry ketones may have estrogen-like properties. Cancers that might be affected by this include breast cancer, fibroids of the uterus, endometrium cancer, and uterine cancer.
In the book Herbs of Choice raspberry leaf is said to help with pregnancy issues such as morning sickness and labor pains. The book also notes (p. 140) that raspberry appears to promote contraction of the uterus. That would not be good for pregnant women. Would the same be true for raspberry ketone supplements? I don't know.
Do these supplements raise blood pressure? I do not know, but if the leaf of raspberries cause the muscles of the uterus to contract, what effect would they have on the muscles of the blood vessels? Would they also contract (and raise blood pressure) or would they relax (and decrease blood pressure)? I don't know.
Remember, some raspberry ketone supplements may contain more than just raspberry ketones. Always check the labels to see what other ingredients a supplement may contain.
See What Weight Loss Supplements Work for a list of things I feel have evidence
Do Raspberry Ketones Work?
The research on raspberry ketones for weight loss is in its infancy. As such, I just don't know if this supplement helps people lose weight or not. The majority of research is a lab rat and lab mice research. Raspberry ketones may benefit in mice but what about humans? I'd like to see a real-life study of of 100 people followed for at least 6 months under real-life (not laboratory) conditions to judge its weight loss power.
If you are still thinking about trying raspberry ketones to help you lose weight, I suggest you go to your doctor and get your blood work done first —cholesterol, blood pressure, weight, liver enzymes, the works—and then get it done again in a couple of months to see if anything has changed.
There are a LOT of websites that sell raspberry ketones. If you read the comments here, you'll see how some people talk about how their credit card was charged more than once after they purchased a product. Know who you deal with. Make sure the raspberry ketone websites you deal with have a contact phone number with customer support people who can help you have questions.
If they are going to work, keep in mind that it might take 6 months before raspberry ketones help you lose weight. Oh, and if you watched the Dr. Oz show, you also heard that you still have to exercise and watch what you eat too. So, you have to eat right and exercise as well as take raspberry ketones. That sounds less like “a miracle in a bottle to burn fat” and more like common sense.
The best weight loss I found was a bare base Iraq deployment where you don’t have many vehicles. So you walk 13-15 miles a day over 12-16 hours. Lost over 20 pounds and 5″ in the waistline. When I returned home station four months later for my daughters birth, my 8.5 month pregnant wife gave me a once over coming off the plane smiled and asked, “Can you go back?” See, I could stand to lose another 10 pounds. Exercise and a healthy diet (not 1985 vintage MREs which are loaded in calories) are probably the best combination. These management-type desk jobs don’t contribute good health.
My understanding is that the problem with eating regular raspberries are the antioxidants you want are inside the seeds and we just pass them through. So you need a mortal and pestal or a vitamix to break them open.
Hi, I am not a over weight person (145) and I am 46 years old about 5’6. I eat right most of the time and exercise about 3 to 4 days a week. For about a year now I have been working my but off to lose this little bit of belly I have no change. I do not believe in miracle pills but because they said it was all natural I wanted to try. The first 5 days I lost 2 pounds. In 9 days I have lost 6 and 2 inches off my waist. I do believe the RK helped me but I put the work in to lose the weight. Everyone’s body is different. Bottom line is burn more calories then you take in and you will lose weight.
I’m genetically inclined towards insulin resistance. I eat healthy and work out regularly but have always struggled with weight. Sometimes I’m up, sometimes I’m down.
Decided to try Isatori Curvelle that contains RKs. All I noticed was that I started gaining weight – yikes!!
I haven’t read all the posts here so maybe this has been mentioned. I read that RKs may affect blood sugar – sounds like maybe that’s why they didn’t work for me.
Anyway, thanks Joe for your reviews!! Just found your site and greatly appreciate your research and objectivity!!!
Thank you for this articulate and thorough review. Keep doing this! 🙂
I bought some RK from Walmart and started taking them Monday (100mg 2x a day) so far I haven’t had any weird side effects like some have talked about. I will give an update when I have one to give 🙂 Also I have heard that people use Lecithin (soy extract I believe) to help with weight loss, would you happen to know anything about that?
Jamie, Ive never heard that lecithin helps people lose weight. Ive never seen any studies showing it does either. I’ve never seen any studies showing it doesn’t help either but I kind of doubt that it does.
Leave the supplements alone….The best and most proven way to lose weight or manage weight is getting the appetite under control. Eat less and eat healthy. Join WeighWatchers. They’re method is simple: You learn how to monitor your eating and you will lose weight in a very healthy and natural way….Just being honest.

Hi Joe, and everyone! I purchased Puritan’s Prode raspberry ketones 100mg, qty 30 from their online website. The thing with supplements is that they aren’t under very strict regulations from the FDA… there really aren’t any guidelines they follow. So, to some degree, you have to trust the company that manufactures the product and know the difference between the manufacturer, distributor, and retailer.
Puritan’s pride is fairly reputable, so I decided to give it a shot. I have a B.S. in microbiology and took a fair amount of classes in toxicology and chemistry… Based on what I have been reading about these ketones and that it’s recommended to be taken with meals, I’m am a bit inclined to believe the ketones won’t make you lose fat from one’s body… but rather change the structure of the fat that is part of one’s dietary intake, so that it’s not digested and absorbed the same.
If this is true, then claims of it causing weight loss are based on the fact that it is reducing certain nutritional intakes by one’s body. There is no such thing as a miracle pill to cure a person’s ailments (such as obesity, health, pain, aging, etc.) The fact is, that you are what you eat and that what you put into your body is the major factor on how your body responds overtime.
I have been exercising for an hour 3-6 days a week for the past 3 months and I make efforts to choose organic, hormone-free, healthy foods whenever possible. I eat a large amount of berries, greens, lean proteins, and avoid fast food at all costs. I rarely drink alcohol, have never done drugs, and I am hesitant to take medications unless they are the last possible treatment.
However, I decided to try a moderate level of raspberry ketones with my regular diet and current exercise routine to see if it might enhance my results. It is not a long-term solution and I have no intention of taking more than 3- 100mg capsules daily (one with each meal) nor do I intend to take these capsule for more than 3 weeks. Anything in large doses is not healthy and can harmful effects – even vitamin C! I’ve known people who have ruined their kidneys consuming 1000mg – 5000mg of vitamin C every day for months or years. So far, I have had fairly positive results.
I’ve noticed a slight increase in the weight I am losing with my current routine – Nothing Earth shattering. But, I also drink primarily water (no coffee, milk, soda, etc) and drink approximately 80 ounces or more EACH day. People, if weight loss is truly important to you, you should reflect on your daily habits and routines that might be contributing to unwanted weight and/or other health problems and decide what is truly important – indulging in your regular habits that are deceivingly unhealthy or making a few sacrifices to achieve a healthier body and lifestyle.
Thank you, Joe, for reaching out to so many people through your website and educating people on the risks and gimmicks used by the media.
Ellen, glad I can help and thanks for writing and sharing your insights.
Thanks for including the midwifery use of Red Raspberry and the link to uterine fibroids. Makes me wonder if my guzzling raspberry leave tea through my pregnancies added to the fibroid issues in peri-menopause.
I’m curious if these raspberry ketones are derived from the leaf or the berry?
At least the out come of one of those pregnancies is a kid with a BS in Exercise Science who reminds me the only real key to weigh loss is “less calories and more exercise.” I suspect that’s what creates the success of any of these diet aids. However I’ll use the research presented here to rationalize indulging in a Raspberry Chipotle (Capsaicin) sauce as diet aid.
Thanks for info to share with PE teacher friend who is a big Dr.Oz fan. It’s sad fact that we must check the money trail and the credentials of all the media “experts.”
Hi Joe, I m greek and Raspberry Ketone hasn t become a trend here yet. I actually discovered it via internet a few days ago. I usually drink a mix of noni and pomegranate juice before breakfast and now i m thinking of adding some of Raspberry Ketone powder. I m 27 years old and dont face any weight issues. I would just use it for the antioxidants and the energy benefits. I am wondering if using the real fruit would have the same or better results but it is difficult to find here and expensive.
Evita, personally I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Raspberry ketones just to me seems like its an expensive stimulant. On another note, I would watch noni juice. There have been at least 7 cases of liver problems associated with Noni. Here is a link to one review article
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18844633
I’ve been using Raspberry keytones for 2 months. No change in my diet or exercise routine. NO WEIGHT LOSE AT ALL…..IN FACT I’VE GAINED WEIGHT…..DOESN’T WORK FOR ME AT ALL
Everything is chemistry. My chemistry works with it. The scales are rolling backwards. Everyday since I began the treatment I have lost 1-2 lbs so its only been 3 days now and I’ve lost 5 lbs. I take a 45 min walk 4 x wkly. Drink 5 glasses of water daily and I combine it with grean bean coffee extract. But most important I eat in moderation. It’s all chemistry.
@Joe RE: my post SEPT 16. 15+ lbs is NOT a healthy weight gain. I have had problems since I took the Raspberry Ketone. Constipation, bloating, gas, sharp pains. I have stopped taking it. It’s a nightmare.
I didn’t say I DIDN’T exercise, I said it was more than normal because I moved house.
Please, folks, don’t take this without a doctor’s supervision. People’s bodies are different. I have problems with Candida and I am lactose intolerant and suspect gluten intolerant as well.
I just bought a bottle of RK from Wal-Mart last night by Spring Valley. I already take a daily dose of vitamins and I found the RK made by the same company that makes the Fish Oil and Multi I take.
However, the RK is in a powder form which I read is not as likely to work because the companies use a minimal amount of the NATURAL RK needed and mix it with caffeine, some type of Mango extract and some other ingredients I cant recall right now.
I read one article and I will need to look up the website that said that a person needs to take up to 500mg of RK a day. They also said it had to be 100% NATURAL. That the only ingredient should be RK. It also said that the fact that its an all natural ingredient there will be NO SIDE EFFECTS.
The Spring Valley version I took this morning is only 100mg and includes other ingredients such as Cellulose (Plant Origin), Dicalcium Phosphate, Gelatin, Croscarmellose and less than 2% of Silica Vegetable Magnesium Stearate.
For about the first hour I felt a little jittery and not that Im an expert but I felt high. Did not like it at all. Is there any truth that it has to be 100% natural RK to work??
I also bought a 5month supple from the website above. It came with a 60 day money back guarantee, so I guess theres no harm in trying it. I exercise 5 days a week and Im not on any special diets but I do eat healthy. I do not eat fast food, or drink anything besides water and tea (yes my occasional beer) I just cant seem to lose the last 10 pounds I would like to
Kimberly, there isn’t any official definition for “natural” so saying something is “100% natural” is mostly just marketing hype. If you try it, start out with less than the recommended dosage just to see how you react. Remember just because it has a money back guarantee, doesn’t mean “no harm” as you said. Some people have reported problems with RK. Read the other comments for more info.
I just bought a bottle of Ultimate Raspberry Ketones…Are these a good product? And what if I mix them with Thin Tab Green coffee bean extract?
Tori, words like “Ultimate” are just buzz words and dont mean anything from a scientific perspective. As I pointed out, if they work its because the share some similarities to a stimulant. Green tea coffee bean thin tabs also sound like a stimulant. would they work better together? Im not sure. To be safe Id start with less than is recommended to see how you feel.
Thank you so much, great review. I am a researcher and before taking any supplements I go and check FACTS. I hate what media does to us, it is irresponsible and factually wrong and not to mention unethical to claim that something has been researched and tested without quantitative scientific proof or peer review, this really bothers me. I hope your fact based reviews gets soon to be on the top of the page on Google , right below RK website. Shame on “DR” Oz.
Adriana, thanks I’m happy you found me. On some products, I do rank on the first page and even #1 in google. So far, raspberry ketones is not one of those search terms. I keep hoping though 🙂
I was wondering if it makes a difference what the ingredients are in the package of raspberry ketones are? I ask because if they have caffeine and stuff like that of course you are going to feel nervous and jittery, I know I do when I have taken supplements that included that in them!
I purchased some that only list RK, brown rice, gelatin and magnesium stearate I hate feeling jittery and what not and was looking up these ingredients and didn’t see anything harmful with any of them . We will see how this goes!
Britt, While its possible, I think the feelings you are experiencing are due to the raspberry ketones themselves rather than those other things, which for the most part are just fillers and dont add anything to the effects of RK. remember raspberry ketones look like the stimulant, synepherine (as well as capsicum). I think its the stimulant properties of RK that are causing the effects you are seeing.
K. I found the website I ordered from. It is Premium Raspberry Ketone.
Nicole, I looked up Premium Raspberry Ketones for you. I dont see anything special about it, Im sorry to say. Words like “premium” are just marketing buzz words that mean nothing as far as how well it works.
I was actually surprised that the website said “get high school skinny now” because this is basically the slogan of the weight loss product called Healthe Trim – see my review on Healthe Trim for more info. I honestly thought premium raspberry ketones and healthe trim were the same company – so I called Healthe Trim to see if they were. They told me they have no connection to that product and that other weight loss products have stolen their “high school skinny” slogan before.
Regardless of all of that, the product has other ingredients that I’ve reviewed in the past that were unimpressive as far as weight loss was concerned. I ask myself if raspberry ketones is so great for weight loss, why do they add other things like acai berry, mango, green tea and resveratrol.
Nicole I wish I had better things to say but it just looks like a “trendy” supplement with trendy ingredients; While I like to try to keep an open mind, without diet/exercise, I dont think it will work.
I have been taking rk for 3 full days. Starting my 4th today. I thought I ordered it from the Dr.Oz website but when it came it looks like different packaging? It is by Blue Diamond Nutrition, called Raspberry Ketone Ultra Slim Max Strength. In the supplement facts it says serving size 2 capsules. servings per container 30. Amount per serving 100% Daily value*. Then underneath Proprietary Formula 1,200mg*. *%Daily value not established.
So my question is is this amount too high. Also I am taking this more for help with my Psoraisis than weight loss. But I have about 10 to lose so it could be a nice side effect. However my lower back hurts alot. It feels like Kidney pain to me.
Not sure they can pain but feels like it. I also pee more often have gotten up 2 nights in a row when sleeping. Also my mouth is so dry I feel the need to drink a lot. Highly unusual for me.
Considering I have changed nothing else but taking these pills I feel like perhaps there is some side effects that no one is talking about. We will see how today goes but if things don’t improve I will be throwing these out. Wish I could find reviews on the kind I bought. Any help would be appreciated.
Nicole, I would stop taking the RK and see if you feel better. if you do, its probably the RK or whatever else is in that product. I think you clicked on an raspberry ketone ad on the dr oz website. I looked at the Dr Oz site for you and noticed some ads for different products. That is a way to help maintain the site through revenue made when people click on an ad (I do it too) but Dr oz does not actually sell the products that you see in those ads (and I dont sell the products you see in ads on my site). I hope that clears up why the product may look different.
I know of no evidence that RK helps psoriasis.
Regardless, its wise to get off of it and see if you feel better. if you dont feel better fast, then Id go to your doctor (and take the bottle of RK with you).
Ill address your other RK product in your other comment…
I have just started RK Ultra Slim – has 1200mgs – bottle of 60. I sent a message where I bought it online as most people were taking 100 mgs or 200 twice daily I thought if I take these (having IBS problems) I might explode. (Pardon my English)
Day 1 consisted of 3 bowel movements – lots of cramps – a night of unrest – may slept 4 hours.
Day 2 consisted of a regular day – some cramps – guess what I went to bed at 10:30 and no sleep yet.
I do 2 miles on the treadmill daily, work out with weights. I have been doing this since March – lost 10 lbs over that time but each weekend gain some back. Trying to loose 10 lbs fast that’s why I bought this product.
Day 3 will only be one pill and will let you know how that works.
