I just posted an update about this in one of my other groups. This was my personal experience....

Update: So, I purchased the Raspberry Ketones (Raspberry Ketone Burn) and these are my observations.

They do not make you jittery and they do in-fact curb your appetite.....so I guess that is a plus.

However, after taking the supplement for a few weeks I found for the 1st time ever, my period was late. I was late by 6 days and took 2 pregnancy tests which were negative. I was freaking out! I started researching raspberry ketones and your menstrual cycle and found that the ketones can/do increase your estrogen and I also found a person who stated she hadn't had a period since starting RK. I also found it can mess with your thyroid.

As soon as I stopped taking the RK my period came.

So, even though it is an "all-natural" supplement, there has still been very little research done as to the long term effects of this supplement, so I have decided to not continue taking it. Also, anyone dealing with female related cancers should steer clear of this supplement.

I can tone up on my own:)

Also, I'm posting an article in the replies about RK.

This is also one of the articles I found...

Raspberry Ketone Side Effects May Impact Thyroid Health

The amount of questions that came pouring in to my pharmacy about raspberry ketones just hours after Dr. Oz’s episode about them makes me think I need to start DVRing the show. Being in the health care field I feel it is my responsibility to stay current with the latest drug and supplement information. Dr. Oz has a tremendous influence on his audience and I feel it’s important to dig a little deeper and not just take his word for it.

Raspberry ketones work in two ways for a possible weight loss effect. They increase the metabolism by increasing the release of a hormone called norepinephrine. When I think of norepinephrine I think what would happen to me if I were being chased by a bear. My heart rate speeds up and I may even have some palpitations, there’s a good chance I’ll be running the fastest I ever have. My body is going to release some glucose into my blood to give me more energy so I can outrun this bear. I’m sure that I will feel nervous, hot and that I’ll be panting for air even after I stop running. I would imagine that at this point I would not be hankering for food because my focus is to stay alive causing my appetite to be suppressed. My vision may become blurry and I may feel the need to throw up or even feel nauseous. I may also have difficulty falling asleep after my run-in with the bear.

Now, imagine this is going on all day long – that could be you on raspberry ketones. The dose can of course be adjusted starting with 100 mg at breakfast and increasing to up to 300 mg. Although you may avoid or lessen the side effects with a lower dose you may not get the results you are looking for.

The other mechanism here is involving a protein that is found on fat cells called adiponectin. Adiponectin decreases glucose levels and has been found to be very successful in lab tests with mice regarding weight loss. Adiponectin has some ties to genetic makeup so if obesity runs in your family, lack of adiponectin might be to blame.

February is national thyroid health month and I think it’s important to think about the possible effects of a drug that increases your metabolism. This is the function that is normally controlled by the thyroid and any medication that causes an increase in this hormone could cause the thyroid to malfunction. This could lead to hypothyroidism, also known as an under-active thyroid and result in being put on prescription medication to control it. Drugs that increase metabolism that are prescription, like phentermine, are only recommended for a short time period, which is about three months. It’s hard to speculate without studies being conducted, but I would not be surprised if long-term use of raspberry ketones could have an effect on thyroid function.

With any supplement I say go in it with a grain of salt. Know that there probably will be side effects and you may not see results. Chances are you’re more likely to experience the side effects than the results.

Nice!

Quoting karenax:

I didn't get the super fruit suppliment but decided to try the Raspberry Ketone. I got mine on Amazon it says 100% Raspberry Ketones Advanced weight loss, 250 mg. It comes in a white bottle with a pic of a raspberry on it. It WORKS. Like I said earlier I was at a stand still but since I started using it I've averaged a 1-2 pound weigh loss a week. I was stuck at 127 for weeks, I am now at 116. Zero side affects.

Quoting dani0007:

did you try it? which bottle did you use?

 

I hit a plateau like that once too.  But when you're working out, you're building muscle, which is heavier than fat.  So while you may not see a difference in weight you should be seeing a difference in your measurements and in the way you feel. 

Quoting Orionsgirl:

well i have been doing WW for a couple of months with no success (well, 2.5 pounds). I am counting points, doing bowflex 3x's/week and Tony Little Gazelle and not losing anything. This is typical of me - I struggle so hard to lose weight, it's crazy. I thought I'd try this to see if it truly ups my metabolism.

Quoting JuliFox:

I tried the SlimQuick stuff once, didn't do much for me.  Hope it works better for you.

Quoting Orionsgirl:

I am tempted. I just bought Slimquick last night so I'll try that first.  Can you update after you have tried it?

I donot know much about this product but you are a lovely looking young woman. I would not tamper with your looks.

Yes I've used it! It's totally natural and it work wonders. I believe if you have tried it you would agree :)

I did try it, and I'm thinking it did nothing for me, and yes it is completely natural.  It is a supplement, nothing more.  Dr Oz did research and if you saw the show you know what he said about it.  I have to wonder if he is actually endorsing the product, or just appeasing the TV viewers.  I don't know.  It is not a diet pill, it causes something that already exists in our bodies to be more effective or efficient.  Whatever it causes to be more efficient, occurs naturally.  If you have questions about it, call your doctor, or look up Dr Oz and review what he said?

Right now I weigh 114 using it. I had my yearly physical and told my doctor about it. She is checking my thyroid only because I have had anxiety attacks lately. She did say they only side effect she is aware of that it may cause more anxiety, she said most ketone products do. I know the anxiety isn't from the RK, I know whats causing them and they are no worse or more frequent than when I wasn't taking it. Other than that she didn't see a problem if it works.

I took it for a month,didn't do anything to me
