Dr Oz: Konjac Fiber, Raspberry Ketone, L-Carnitine & Unworkout Workout

Dr Oz: Fat Busting Metabolism Boosters

Dr Oz did a show called Fat Busting Metabolism Boosters to help people speed up their metabolisms, especially people over 40 years old.  Once you turn 40, you can eat the same way and exercise just as much, but all of a sudden you will notice fat depositing in places you never noticed.  The pounds start to pack on and stay on, and the main culprit is your metabolism.  Doctor Oz said that during our first four decades, our body’s are a model of energy efficiency due to our metabolisms, but when you hit 40, your body burns 100 fewer calories every day (which definitely sounds like A LOT!).  And after you are 50 years old, that number doubles.  In fact, your metabolism slows down by 10% every 10 years after you turn 40.  Dr Oz was joined by Lisa Lynn, a weight loss and metabolism expert, to discuss 5 Metabolism Boosters to Bust Fat!

Dr Oz: Konjac Root Fiber

Dr Oz’s first guest said that once she hit 40, she became hungry all the time.  Doctor Oz said that the reason for all of these cravings is likely the big Dr Oz L-Carnitinechanges in hormones that takes place.  Lisa Lynn said that Konjac Fiber is an incredible root that keeps you feeling full, regulates your hormones and regulates your sugar balance.  Take Konjac Root Fiber 30 minutes before a meal and drink lots of water with it.  Lisa Lynn said that studies back up Konjac Fiber and have shown that it cannot hurt you.  Dr Oz said that his wife takes this and that it is the most potent natural fiber that he knows of.

Dr Oz: Magical Noodles

Lisa Lynn said that if you are not a supplement junky and prefer to eat food instead, try to eat Miracle Noodles or Shirataki Noodles, which work as a great filler.  You can mix in chicken and broccoli or just eat it with tomato sauce on top.  Shirataki Noodles have no calories and are high in fiber so they fill you up.  Lisa Lynn said that if one bag does not fill you up, you can just eat another one since there are no calories.  You can find Shirataki Noodles in Asian Markets, but I have also seen it in various grocery stores including Whole Foods.  Click here for a recap of another segment where Dr Oz spoke about these noodles: Dr Oz Shirataki Noodles.

Dr Oz: Raspberry Ketone Burns Fat

Doctor Oz’s next guest said that she has tried appetite suppressants, water pills and everything under the sun to lose weight.  Lisa Lynn said that animal studies have shown Raspberry Ketones to be beneficial and that her firsthand experience with the supplement has been amazing.  Raspberry Ketone comes from red raspberries and helps your body to burn fat.  You take it just once a day and it makes it easier to burn off your fat, especially if you are working out.  Here is a link to one pill that I found (since Dr Oz did not mention a brand or where to buy them at): Raspberry Keytone Pills.  You can also eat a bowl of raspberries with each meal, but that will not be as much as you get from taking a Raspberry Ketone Supplement.

Dr Oz: L-Carnitine

Dr Oz’s third guest said that she feels tired all the time.  L-Carnitine gives you energy, plus it takes fat from your body and pulls it into your cells to be used as energy.  Take 500 mg of L-Carnitine twice a day, but Lisa Lynn said that you have to read the labels because your dose will be different if you weigh 100 pounds vs if you weigh 200 pounds.  If you are in doubt, start with less and always talk to your physician before starting any supplement.  Dr Oz also mentioned that you should take Vitamin C with L-Carnitine, because Vitamin C enhances your body’s ability to produce Carnitine naturally.

Dr Oz: Unworkout Workout

Dr Oz’s next tip was really shocking – could it be that you need to exercise less to lose more weight?  Lisa Lynn said that if she exercises too much, she gets even hungrier, so she eats even more.  It is important to do the right amount of exercise and to not overdo it.  Lisa Lynn showed Doctor Oz how to do an exercise to get really flat abs, they are called Side Core Raises.  Lie down on the ground on your side, and prop yourself up on your elbow, like you are watching TV.  Then use your abs to lift your body up and reach your arm over your head.  Once you learn to train smart, you won’t have to exercise as much.

Which of these Metabolism Boosters are you going to try?  Or have you already tried any of them?  Please leave your thoughts and comments on them below!

    Dr. Oz, I have hypothyroid. When I tried chromium it effected my thyroid medication. Please do a talk on this. Today I see a product called kon jac root and I think this would be safe for me to take being it is fiber. I am really at a stand still as to what I can take or not that would not effect the synthroid I take. I was taking prempro and any time my dose was changed I had to change my synthroid.

    My local health food store carries all of these supplements (I live in western New York). I use the NOW brand because they are reasonable prices & don’t use any fillers in their supplements. The fat burning benefits of L-Carnitine have been well supported in the research for a while. The Miracle noodles tasted like rubber to me, but I may have overcooked them.

    April 30, 2011 at 5:48 pm

    Where is the White Kidney Bean Extract. That was the fifth item on his list.
    It was KONJAK or Shiratake noodles. (as in one item)

  16. Theresa says

    April 30, 2011 at 6:05 pm

    Paul,
    You should try them one at a time until you find the one that works the best. If you use them all at once, you won’t know which ones are working at all.

  17. Maggie says

    April 30, 2011 at 7:27 pm

    Re. Dr. Oz’s Show on the topic of Konjac root fiber, Raspberry Ketone and Shiratake noodles I like others found it frustrating because I was looking up this information on health and vitamin stores which seemed the most logical. Through all my in and outs on websites, I found info. on Konjacfoods.com,; I checked out Raspberry Ketone on where I buy my vitamins and discovered that the work “ketone” is what the Raspberry product is made up of and lastly, Shiratke Noodles known as Miracle Noodles can be found at most grocery stores and can check out the noodles at MiracleNoodles.com.
    Hope this was of help. I don’t have facebook but it would be helpful if someone would bring this to Dr. Oz’ attention as to how difficult it was for most of us to research where to buy.

  18. Jason says

    April 30, 2011 at 8:47 pm

    I feel bad for the people who actually are going to purchase these supplements. People get the wrong idea regarding supplements. Lets take a look at it again. SUPPLEMENT…they are meant to supplement a nutritious diet and an active lifestyle. Taking supplements while still continuing to eat the same foods and doing no physical activity is going to result in MINOR if not ANY difference. I work at health food store and it amazes me that people still think there is a supplement to lose weight….If there was a supplement to lose weight then why is 66% of the American population overweight and obese? If you ask the ~34% health weighted adults it is not because of a supplement, nor the supplements listed above. But who am I to speak? Well actually I have lost 100lbs and learned how to do it the right way! Through learning how to eat and physical activity. If you have any disagreements or questions. Feel free to shoot me an email.

    Can I take rasberry keytone since I take armour thyroid daily for my hypothyroid? I also take CLA and wanted to know it I can take the CLA along with the rasberry keytone(as long as it doesnt interfere with my hypothyroid meds)?

    Thanks,

    Good luck ladies with your weight loss. I wish you all much success!

    everytime I watch one of his shows I want to scream –to all you people who think every word that comes out of his mouth is truth you really need to get lives—when it comes to his field he knows his stuff but not always good for people–eveytime he does something in the natural field I want to shake him —not eveything is good for you –like the white kidney been extract—the only way you will know it is working is if you get really bad pains and alot of gas and pain and constant diarreah–if you dont get those symptoms then it’s not working—he always forgets to tell the side affects and the people he has on don’t know to much either—I wish I could do his research because I have been trained in all this and have the knowledge—-all you people that ran out to buy the neem that was on his show —I hope non of you taking it are trying t have children because it is birth control and if anyone had an organ transplant it will most likely cause a problem with that –neem is great for acis reflux andstopping cancer tumors from growing—a smoker should be taking this product—please people stop idolizing people–enjoy the show –some of it is knowledge the rest just listen to and use your brain —you must be the same group of people who thought Oprah was god like —you people need a life –try reading and educating yourselves so you know the information already—-tbut the right information—-Thank you

    Sydney if you have so much knowledge, why don’t you educate us instead of insulting us?

    If you were watching the show it wasn’t Dr Oz recommending these products, he had

    White bean extract has been around for a long time under many names and Konjac root is what is contained in PGX. So a lot of this information is not really new. However I am Canadian and the L Carnitine was news to me. I am a research junkie and love to Google everything thing before I try it. What was great news about the L Carnitine, aside from the benifits of wieght loss, was that it can help people that suffer from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue with energy. So if you suffer as I , do some research, check with your doctor and check this out!

  26. Jeff says

    May 3, 2011 at 4:17 pm

    Also some key points.

    Konjac Root Fiber
    This is also called glucomannan so look for that also.
    If taking capsules make sure you swallow them complelely, glucomannan swells and you want it in your stomach not in your throat when it does.

    Noodles
    Never tried the noodles, Sounds good.

    Raspberry Ketone
    Be aware of buying Red Raspberry Seed Extract, while a good anti-oxidant supplement with Ellaic content, it’s not the Raspberry Ketone in the studies. This form will have more anti-oxidant properties than it will metabolism boosting properties. I’ve seen some seed extract advertised as ketones and that is not quite true. You want your raspberry ketones to look like white needle cyrstals, not a herbal extract. So break open the capsule and check.

    L-Carnitine
    The Acetylated version is probably best, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, simply more bioavailable. It has a more direct action in the mitochondria. A little vitamin C or even alpha lipoic acid is great in conjunction with a carnitine.

  27. Liza says

    May 4, 2011 at 3:09 pm

    My question is ….is red raspberry leaves capsules the same as red raspberry ketones?

  28. Jeff says

    May 4, 2011 at 3:21 pm

    Red Raspberry Leave extracts are generally 4% ketone.
    That’s about all they can get out of extraction of raspberries.
    There are 99% Raspberry ketones on the market.
    99% raspberry ketones do not have other constiuent ingredients such as ellagic acid,
    which is a good anti-oxidant, with a metabolic kick equal to a good green tea extract.
    If you want the RK in studies, you want a 99%. Not a 40% Ellagic Acid product.
    Read the labels if say’s leaves, seeds or fruit extract is a herbal extract.
    You can do the leaves capsules but remember to get even 100mg of ketone you would need to take a whole bottle of 90 capsules to get the same dose in one 99% ketone dose.

  29. Donna says

    May 5, 2011 at 8:45 pm

    Regarding L-Carnitine…there’s also L-Carnitine Fumarate and I’m not finding much info on the difference
    between this and Acetyl L-Carnitine. Any info?
    Also, according to one product and other research, I read that:
    L-Carnitine works synergistically with Co-Q10, an antioxidant and energy cofactor that is found in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.

    Does this ‘comment’ mean that Co-Q10 also needs to be supplemented or is it saying that it works with what we already have? Thank you.

  30. Raspberry Ketones says

    May 6, 2011 at 4:53 pm

    Raspberry Ketones are listed as the first ingredient in a product call SKINNY FRUITS Slimming Cleanse. Brand is Natural Max. Item # 97785. Any independent health/vitamin store can order it for you from the manufacturer – Nutraceutical. Reputable, well known company. They make Solaray, KAL, etc….

  31. Laura says

    May 9, 2011 at 5:07 pm

    Just started the Dukan Diet (phase I) feeling good about this and taking Carb Intercept (White kidney bean extract) just as a back up. From low carbs (if any) to virtually no carbs. I am optomistic and if all goes well I will continue and then add the RK-125 Rasberry Ketones. Found them both online (Amazon.com / Bodybuilding.com) without any problem. Got my fingers crossed!

  32. DrOzFans says

    May 9, 2011 at 6:43 pm

  33. kenny says

    May 13, 2011 at 6:26 am

    can you take this product if you have high blood preasure. and is it FDA approve?
    thanks,
    kenny

  34. Susan B says

    May 13, 2011 at 7:52 am

    @ Kenny – FDA doesn’t approve/not approve supplements. They are regulated via a law called DSHEA which is partially designed to prohibit false claims on products, or health claims on non-drugs. You would need to seek a medical professional’s advice on whether or not you can take any supplement if you have a medical issue.

  35. kate Charland says

    Please.. Laura..Keep us posted.

  36. Chandra says

    May 24, 2011 at 7:42 pm

    I just got around to ordering all the products that I seen Dr. Oz discussing on his show last month. The only one that is on back order is the Rasberry Kestone. Othere than that, I should be receiving the L-Carnitine, Konjac Root Fiber, Miricle Noodles and White Kidney Bean Extract in the mail any day now. I wish I would’ve recorded that show so I could go back and watch it. I’m trying to remember, can you take all of these supplements at one time? I’m thinking at first, I should only try one at a time. I wrote down that your suppose to take Vitamin C with the L-Carnitine. Has anyone else tried these supplements? Which one is a good one to start off with? Is it okay to slowly add in other supplements? Thanks

  37. Tony says

    May 26, 2011 at 10:33 am

    Lisa recommends raspberry ketones only once e day, though I’ve seen other supplement stores mention twice a day? Does anyone have any feedback on the dosage?

  38. Jeff says

    May 26, 2011 at 12:23 pm

    It depends on the dosage 100mg, 250mg 500mg etc… 500mg once a day is probably a good place to start. But taking in 500mg twice daily isn’t going to be too high a dosage for most people. The studies used 1-2% of food intake which for instances on an average 2000 calorie diet would be roughly 250 grams of food (500 grams x 4 = 2000 calories) or (250 grams x 9kcal ‘fat’ = 2250 calories). The studies used high fat diets, which essentially equate to an adkins, ketogenic, i.e. low carb diet. This is without doubt the diet most people are getting the best results from using RK. And it makes sense, since RK works by metabolizing fats and aiding the metabolism of glucose. Plus when you consider all the other supplements Dr. Oz recommended they all work off the mechanism of keeping insulin levels down. If you’re still eating pasta and potatoes and rice etc.. as the majority of your diet you’ll be combating the powerful hormone insulin and you can take all the supplements in the world and they may not help much. When you cut your simple carbs, add very low glycemic ones in place, add some moderate good fats and keep protein levels stable through out the day then magic will start happening with all the recommended supplements. I know a couple bodybuilders that have had good results using much higher RK doses than recommended, but they were also on ultra low carb diets with more than moderate fat intake. Doses of even 2-3 grams is not uncommon, but you obviously want to start with the lowest effective dose. The key is keeping insulin release under control (which means limit your high glycemic carbs) and all the supplements mentioned will have synergistic effects.

  39. Barbara says

    May 26, 2011 at 2:44 pm

    I love Dr. Oz, but we do need to be realistic…
    Eating healthy is the way to go…
    Exercise, just simply walking is the way to go…
    then supplement your diet…there is no quick fix for anything in life, but if it makes you feel better, by all means use it.
    L-Carnitine…love it, it does work…unfortunately, in Canada it was recently banned AGAIN…I think it happens every couple of months…but my dog can have it in his food, but I can’t use it to make me feel better according to my government…once in a while I do find it in a health store and it is older stock that they still have, if the date is still good, I do buy it because it makes me feel good
    Our minds are our secret to our weight loss, health issues…we get that straightened out, no one can stop us…

  40. Janice says

    May 26, 2011 at 4:57 pm

    I totally agree with you Barbara. Our mind is the most powerful to promote good health, and everything else positive! Plus common sense. If it is processed, and not grown, don’t eat it. if you cannot pronounce the words in the ingredients, don’t eat it!

  41. Allison says

    May 31, 2011 at 6:58 pm

    I want to know how many Konjac pills I can take before a meal. Is it 1 pill or 2 pills before meal. I thought I heard Dr. Oz on the Today show (or some morning show) say to start with 1 and then move on to 2.

  42. Kelly says

    June 2, 2011 at 12:56 pm

    Good afternoon Kelly:

    We do carry these products. Due to our great selection of products the price range for these products can be large, for example; we carry different sizes and brands of KonJac Root. These products range in price from about $18 to $35. The L-Carnitine is from $13 to $58. The white kidney extract is from about $30 to $58. We only have one product that has the Raspberry Ketone and it’s called, “Isatori Curvelle”. The price for this product is $45.

    We also carry a huge selection of groceries. We do have the Shirataki noodles available in our fresh deli case along with a large variety of other grab-and-go and prepared foods. There is a vegetarian restaurant and juice bar inside the store so, come hungry.

    If there is anything else I can help you with, don’t hesitate to contact me or any of the other helpful staff here at Mother’s.

    We look forward to seeing you at Mother’s Market & Kitchen, Huntington Beach.

    Thank you,

  44. Risa says

    June 5, 2011 at 10:32 am

    Jason and Sidney,

    Jason, first I want to commend you on your weight loss. to both of you, not all of us are jumping on the supplement wagon because we are lazy. when I was 30 i worked out 2 hours a day, weights and aerobics, ate 1000 cals a day, it took me over a year to loose 20 lbs. I couldn’t maintain my goal without doing the above, and didn’t have time when I went to school full time. 20 years later, it is has taken me 5 months to loose 20 lbs, doing everything I am supposed to do. If a supplement will help, by golly I am going to give it a try. It is hard to stay motivated when the results are so slow.

  45. Jason says

    June 5, 2011 at 10:51 am

    Risa,
    I see the first problem already. You worked out for 2 hours a day and deprived yourself of the nutrients to allow your body to grow and recover. You basically starved yourself. I can furnish this with research documenting the detrimental effects to doing this…but to save time, it blunts fat loss. So it is clear as day, why you were not losing weight. Which brings me to the problem. People spend time research supplements and watching Dr. Oz when they could spend that time learning about food or exercising. I started with minimal knowledge in the field and learned from educated trainers, professors, books (not magazines or tv) and learned how to work smart. Then you become more efficient and will quickly learn 2 hours is not necessary. Learning is motivation and putting that knowledge to use will provide the ultimate motivation and satisfaction. Time is poor excuse for anything. If you have time to watch Dr. Oz then you have time to learn, to exercise etc…Good luck and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

  46. Laura says

    June 10, 2011 at 1:49 pm

    Been a month since I started Dukan Diet with the help of carb blocker. I was consistent for 1 month and have lost 10 lbs. I run 5k on the treadmill 4 times a week takes me 35 min. This is how the weight has come off and the fact that I am eating protein only and no more than 6% in carbs and 2% fat daily. The carb blockers have helped because I have been eating Chobani yogurt all day every day. As for the rasberry ketone? I finally ordered this and it is on its way. My goal is 135 lbs by September for my 47 birthday. I still have 15 lbs to go. And finally I see a light at the end of that tunnel.

    I tried L-Carnitine in liquid form, was given to me by my boyfriend, an amateur body builder. I LOVE it. I weigh about 140, am 5;5″ and though I am not fat, I am trying to tone all over and get rid of that “back fat” that people seem to think I don’t have just because I appear to be think all over – – but they have not seen me naked. So I took the L-Carnitine about 60 minutes before my run on the treadmill and I was off to the races. Normally I tire within the first 7 minutes…. but with L-Carnitine in my system, I was 20 minutes in and still going strong… after my usual 30 minute run I was thinking that I may now be able to push this to an hour. I also do the side bend exercises but I knew about these from a personal trainer I use to date. So THANK YOU Dr. Oz. I am 44 and though I am what most consider thin, I have my problem areas and my goal is to get that Halle Berry and Stacy Dash body… I now see much light at the end of that tunnel and know I will be able to reach my goal! WooHoo!! I am lovin’ it!!!

    How you take raspberry ketones? i tried disolving it in water but it didn’t dissolve. Are there any recipes to use it in?

  52. Darci says

    July 8, 2011 at 3:15 pm

    I started with the L-Carnatine because that is the only one I could find at the local health food store. Bottle said to take 1-4 tabs per day and I started with one in the a.m. and one in the p.m. This seemed to give me a little extra energy, but I started having a lot of trouble sleeping at night. I switched to two tabs in the a.m. instead and that has helped. I’m going to begin taking another two tabs at lunch. Just got some of the kidney bean extract, but haven’t started it yet. Bottle says take 30 minutes prior to eating carbs, but I forget until carbs are already on my plate. Has anyone else tried the kidney bean extract? Any difficulties with it?

  53. Domonique says

    July 15, 2011 at 9:46 am

    I just stared taking the L-Carnitine this morning and the White Bean Extract Phase 2 yesterday. I also found the Konjac Fiber also called Glucommanan, but wont start that until today. When I went to the vitamin store, the rep there stated that the Konjac does not not start to work for a while. I guess I will take these for the next couple of weeks and report back here to let you if I got any results. The Raspberry Ketone so far I am unable to find…still searching.

  54. Steve says

    July 21, 2011 at 10:02 am

    You are missing the White Kidney Bean Extract from this show!!! They said the extract keeps carbs from being broken down into sugars and absorbed by the body. This helps to regulate sugars in your bloodstream. The pill is taken prior to meals like the Konjac. I can’t believe you left this one out of your write-up. Was it on purpose?

    You can buy Natural Max’s Skinny Fruits at any independent health store. Primary ingredient in Skinny Fruits is Raspberry Ketones. If the independent health store doesn’t carry it, just ask them to special order it for you from Nutraceutical.

  58. carol says

    September 10, 2011 at 9:46 am

    Steve, Thanks for the heads up, I will add the White Kidney Bean Extract.

    Ive herd of PGX works the same way as the above it was on Dr OZ also guessing you can only take this along with a multi vitiman also it’s alot to read up on this you can go to the site PGX.com they will tell you what stores near you sell it

    I bought a bottle of raspberry ketone pills from gnc. Its probably been about a week now and wow! This thing works! I’ve tried so many different diet supplements throughout over a decade but I got to say, the Raspberry ketone is the best! My stomach is getting smaller and smaller each day! Though it doesn’t help me control my appetite, everything I eat is cleaned out of my system right away! I’m eating and drinking the same but I’m losing weight! Love it! I also have a weak stomach which means I usually get realllyyyyy bad stomach aches when I take supplements that “boosts ur metabolism”, but I have not experienced that with the raspberry ketone!! Obviously, I highly Recommend it!!

  63. Lorraine says

    October 10, 2011 at 10:59 am

    I found the raspberry ketones on line. Just started today..I found it on Amazon
    Good Luck!

  64. Lorraine says

    October 10, 2011 at 11:01 am

    Oh, that’s great to hear Lina, how many do you take a day? 3? 500mg

  65. carol says

    October 11, 2011 at 12:17 pm

    I just started rasberry keystone yesterday. I took it at 4p.m. to slow down how much I ate for dinner, I ate half of what I usally ate, but couldn’t fall asleep right away. I took one at 9am today, I think this will work better for me. Good Luck to everyone.

  66. lina says

    October 11, 2011 at 12:39 pm

    Lorraine, I take 2 pills(125mg each so 250) with my meal. Since I’m busy I could only eat once or twice a day. So total 250-500 Good luck!

    Finally, confirmation that it is possible to overexercise. I couldn’t figure it out. I noticed that if I did only a 30 minute exercise routine only 3 times a week, but consistently, I lost more weight than if I did more. Each time I did more and got into a heavy routine, I’d find myself eating out of control to compensate and eventually gaining more fat in addition to the muscle, and together I just became too heavy and would tire easily, and then eventually give up. The Unworkout Workout, makes so much sense now.

  68. kimmie says

    November 26, 2011 at 9:04 pm

    I started Raspberry Ketones that I got at GNC 4 days ago. So far I havent noticed any weightloss so far, but I am exercising and drinking lots of water. I did notice that i have been having trouble sleeping, not sure if its because of the pills. Anyone else ??

  69. anne says

    February 6, 2012 at 4:53 pm

    The ‘unworkout workout’ – “Then use your abs to lift your body up and reach your arm over your head.” Are you lifting your legs up and doing a sort of head-to-knee crunch? Not sure how to “lift your body up” ?????

  75. Tamara says

    February 6, 2012 at 9:11 pm

    Can’t find in Canada – must be a reason! One of the companies ( Hi-Tech pharma) had to do a recall on their products in 2009 because there were ingredients not listed (and not approved by FDA). Be careful what you take and where it comes from. Many ‘diet’ pills don’t list all ingredients and some still use ingredients that have been banned years ago by the government for health reasons such as destroying liver/kidneys, shutting down respiratory system etc.

    Find a reputable company, investigate any claims with FDA and do your research. Just because it’s sold somewhere does not mean it’s safe. Still looking though as I’m sure Dr. Oz did his research, just have to make sure you find a company that isn’t putting ‘other’ ingredients in there!

  76. Susan Burkholder says

    February 6, 2012 at 9:29 pm

    Not sure if they have these in Canada…but Natural Max’s Skinny Fruits lists Raspberry Ketones as the first ingredient in a blend of super fruits..great product because it helps cleanse (without senna or cascara sagrada) and has fiber and probiotics.
    Also from Natural Max – launched last month, a Diet Shake Skinny Fast Hunger Rescue has Raspberry Ketones. Chocolate Whey Protein. 100 calories, 1 gm sugar, 2 net carbs, 7 grams of Fiber !!!!, Chromium, Hemp, Flax and Chia…Great Diet Shake – you’ll feel full! Delicious Chocolate Flavor. In the U.S. Check with your local health food stores. They can order from Nutraceutical.

    If you are on ANY TYPE of medication…do NOT EVER go by recommendations that are NOT your physician..especially blood pressure or diabetes or anything that could cause great harm is it affects your medication…this can be VERY dangerous…a little common sense goes a long way…don’t mean to patronize but this was very scary to see people asking medical advise on a blog like this??

    I just watched Dr. Oz show last nite and they discussed about this raspberry keytone like how it can lose weight. I’m thinking of trying this one out. But my concern is does it have any side effects? I guess this question is for people who has been taking Raspberry keytone. Also, what happens when you stop taking them after being on it for awhile? Will you regain all the fat you lose and if you go back to taking them again, will your body not react to it anymore?

    Just wondering about the side effects of the Rasberry keytone if any, I thought i heard that lady on Dr. Oz say take one in the morning and if that didn’t seem to help take one at lunch 100 mg maybe thats why if you take it late may effect your sleep, i like Dr. Oz but that really don’t go into much detail when they bring up something new. Let me know how everyone is doing on it.

  85. MsJames says

    February 7, 2012 at 8:38 am

    Raspberry Ketone supplements, according to Wikipedia, are chemically derived. They are NOT an extract. “Since the natural abundance of raspberry ketone is very low, it is prepared industrially by a variety of methods from chemical intermediates.[6] One of the ways this can be done is through a crossed aldol-catalytic hydrogenation. In acetone and sodium hydroxide, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde can form the α,β-unsaturated ketone. This then goes through catalytic hydrogenation to produce raspberry ketone. This method produces a 99% yield.”

  88. Pat says

    February 7, 2012 at 9:45 am

    So, is this just another form of speed? If it is not a natural extract, then really, it does not sound all that safe. Maybe that is why Canadians cannot find it?

  89. MsJames says

    February 7, 2012 at 9:59 am

    Dr Oz admitted that he has not done research on raspberry ketones. Just the word “hydrogenated” in the chemical development of this product should be a red flag to concerned consumers. Don’t be a lab rat, guinea pig or beta tester for the latest diet promotions. Do your research and take a long walk to clear your head before jumping into the latest fad. After all, the Dr. Oz show is primarily entertainment.

    Our store is in Penticton, British Columbia (BC) Canada. It is called the Whole Foods Emporium located at 103 – 1770 Main St, Penticton. We have been bombarded with “Do you have Raspberry Keytones”. My question: Is there a distributor for this product in Canada?? If not, is there a Distributor in the USA that has this product that can legally be sold in Canada? Thank you ahead of time….and have a super day…..Shirley

    I began a month ago taking White Kidney Bean Extract and 7 Keto ( Raspberry Keytone) around 11:30 a.m. a half hour before lunch, then a L-Carnitine with a vitamin C around 2-2:30p.m., then White Kidney Bean and 7Keto again around 5-5:30 a half hour before dinner. I have nothing to eat after 6:00. I drink o.j. and milk for breakfast and green tea for lunch then water the rest of the day. I haven’t changed any foods just eat less of them. I have lost 8 lbs in a month. I have more energy and don’t eat as much because I’m not that hungry. I sleep better at night than I use to. I can’t believe how fast it burned fat from my stomach. I haven’t started an exercise program as of yet but plan to. I weighed 148 lbs and want to reach 130lbs. It does cause some gas but not to bad. Thank you Dr. Oz.

  100. kmmie says

    February 8, 2012 at 10:15 pm

    I tried raspberry ketones for two weeks. I had trouble sleeping and it increased my heart rate a little .My Dr, advised me not to take them anymore… Doing some testing and turns out my hormone levels are off balance causing my weight gain..Taking Metformin now….

  101. gigi says

    February 9, 2012 at 12:07 am

    as a nurse and also an atrial fibber, DO NOT take the raspberry ketones. I have googled it and there is a reason why you cant sleep and have all this energy. IT IS A STIMULANT. and people with high b/p or heart issues , please dont take this.
    L-Carnitine is also not for people with heart or b/p issues. is stimulant.
    be careful
    Dr. Oz should be more responsible in teaching caution and side effects. after all, he is a cardiolligist!!

  102. Fidget says

    February 9, 2012 at 3:52 am

    I need to correct the person who put this information together on this site. I watch and tape every Dr. Oz show so that I can go back and refresh my memory. This one however was easy. You wrote about the Magical Noodles (above) a/k/a Shirataki Noodles. You said they have NO CALORIES, even if you ate one or two bags. Double check your info please. A whole bag is 35 calories…not much to worry about, but incorrectly written. I bought a bag a few days ago so I can see it for myself.
    I agree with you gigi… and just an added bit of info, there is another ingredient in a specific brand of the white kidney bean extract that uses a “Cr” name and it’s Chromium. Like Chromium Picolinate, it burns excess sugar for energy and can cause you to feel like you’re “speeding” or a “racing heart” which can cause heart palpitations…if I explained that right. I know Dr. Oz would never want to hurt anyone intentionally, and all these supplements can have side effects… plus it’s virtually impossible to give every person, with different medical problems, the low-down on every possible problem it could have. He does tell his audience to be responsible and check further into anything they may have questions about.

  103. gigi says

    February 9, 2012 at 7:42 am

    thanks for the additional feedback.I do know about the chromium’s side effects. it also makes you feel very weak, i think from blood sugar going low.
    i found that out the hard way.
    i also had tried the noodles last year. they were packed in some horrid , fish smelling solution.
    i found the noodles to be “weird” in the consistancy.
    plain rice noodles are fine with chix soup and i make an asian salad with spinach /brown rice spaghetti and tons and tons of cup up veggies(red sweet peppers, asparagus, froz peas, snap peas, sliced mushrooms scallions and sesame seeds. dress with soy sauce and 2 tblsp sesame oil.
    i only use 1/3 lb. “joy brown rice spinach noodles in recipe, so it is mainly veggies.
    tastes great.low cal.

  104. Joann Brawner says

    February 9, 2012 at 1:03 pm

    I know Dr. Oz covers a lot of material on each show, but I know he said raspberry ketones, but is there a dosage it looks like it from searching the webb. I know he said 1000 linoleic acid and on the webb, both of these supplements have the exact same description and also
    I have seen some of the comments where somebody suggests 1200 of CLA. Which one is
    correct. I really do want to follow this belly fat program exactly right because it is my only problem with way my clothes fit. I am still looking for meals he “prescribed”rest of day to
    make this work. Any help????

  105. AC says

    February 9, 2012 at 1:28 pm

    Joan, Dr. Oz recommend that one take 100mg. of Rasberry Ketone. I am sure you can take a little more depending on your body and response to the produce. I ordered 125 mg (The mail order takes 3 weeks (Amazon) due to the instant demand). All of the body builder vitamin shops were out of it in my city.

  106. Sally says

    February 9, 2012 at 2:04 pm

    Hi, The begining of January I weighed 141, I have been trying to ditch the same pounds for almost a year. Every time I do get down to about 127, I put the pounds back on aound oct thru march. I have been taking 19 different pills Dr. Oz recomemed for the last 6 months, only a pound came off. In January, my dog died. I took it really bad. I lost 10lbs in 2 weeks, still took the pills but didn’t eat much of anything. I now lost 4 more pounds, have been eating lightly, still taking all though pills and not missing all the food I use to eat. I guess I need the stress to jump start my weight loss. I also think the pills are helping me keep my appetite down. I have not had any trouble with my health or sleeping problems. I also exersise 3 times a week on my bike. I enjoy my bike alot more now.

    Just goes to show you that, no matter where you get your health related facts from, you should always double check them and speak with your doctor. You never know who is behind these web sites. I say this about my own health site as well. I’m not a medical professional; I am just sharing the information as I come across it and what has helped me. You should always do your own research and talk to your doc.

  113. lm says

    February 16, 2012 at 1:28 pm

    Everyone needs to make sure what they take does not effect any medication they are on. People don’t seem to realize herbals can be safe, but put with medication, you don’t know how it will effect you. check with your doctor first. I noticed Dr. Oz tells people this on his shows.

  114. Brooke says

    February 17, 2012 at 6:58 am

    Just received mine yesterday and says to eat 1/2 hr. before eating. I took it and didn’t eat for an hour. Will that effect the way it works? Also, noticed after taking for the first time my heart started fluttering more than usual. Does RK-125 from SNS contain caffeine?

  115. Patti says

    February 21, 2012 at 11:24 am

    I just received my Raspberry Ktones took one last night and was up all night long. Does this really have caffeine in them? It says only brown rice flour? I wonder can i take with Paxil? My pharmacist has no idea has never heard of this…please help!!!

  116. Sally says

    February 21, 2012 at 12:36 pm

    Patti they say those r a stimulant becareful what u take they really don’t go into detail on dr.Oz shows so do your research

  117. Patti says

    February 21, 2012 at 12:40 pm

    ok…yes i did look online but it doesnt say anything about being a stimulant….weird….and the ingredients are brown rice flour….so i am unsure if i should take this now or not?

  118. Sally says

    February 21, 2012 at 1:25 pm

    Patti all depends upon what kind of medication u r on. Also if you remember when they were talking about the ketones they said take in the morning and at noon if you want I think that was why because it could keep u up just need to becareful

  119. kathie schrass says

    February 22, 2012 at 8:05 am

    I take Formentrin for diabetes can I take l carrintine together with rasberry ketones in the morning? no pharmacist and even my dr. do not know this is just insane. if Dr. Oz is going to promote these products he has to let his public know these answers. My pharmacist looked at me like I was nuts and my dr. just said he had no idea. Please help. I did email Dr. OZ BUT THEY SAID TO ASK MY ?dR. WELL IF HE IS NOT GOING TO DO HIS HOMEWORK, THEN HE SHOULD NOT BE PROMOTING THESE PRODUCTS!!!! People who watch him trust him more than then own drs.

  120. Patti says

    February 22, 2012 at 9:43 am

    @kATHIE–I AGREE….THE pharmcist had no idea what i was talking about when i brought my Rasp Ktones to him….he never heard of it!! I started taking it the other day. I will see i am only taking 1 per day.

  121. Patti says

    February 22, 2012 at 1:52 pm

  122. Sally says

    February 22, 2012 at 2:58 pm

    Kathie I agree with u dr. Oz needs to do his homework and talk about one thing a little further than Just throwing it out at u and not yelling u anything one pill he said was safe to take I got on webmd.com they had no information on it said not enough studies on humans to know if it was safe or had any side effects and he said it was safe so u have to really do your homework

  123. Stephanie says

    February 27, 2012 at 11:02 am

    there is no caffine in the rasberry ketones, my uncle owns a health shop and we called due to me not being able to have caffine and they said there is none, also my aunt has found if you take it and hour before you eat it works alot better, she has lost 10lbs in 6 days half im sure is water weight which no one ever takes in consideration. she takes them 3xs a day an hour before each meal, she also has high blood pressure and depression and this has had no effect on her what so ever but you have to remember everyone reacts differently to different supplements I have not started taking them yet but I plan on starting soon.

    I bought a bottle of raspberry ketone ultimate and there is no directions on it. It only says serving is 2 capsules. The ketones are 240mg is that per capsule or for both? Can someone help me?

    Gigi, L-Carnitine is NOT a stimulant. It is an amino acid and has tons of benefits including consideration for treatment in Alzhiemers. I don’t know anything about Rasberry Ketones so can’t comment on them. The noodles sound promising but I am always suspicious of things that seem to good to be true….but then you don’t know till you see just how “true” it is so give it a shot as long as there are no health warnings associated with it.

    People stop complaining…Dr Oz is NOT your doctor you STILL have a responsibility to do your OWN research once information is given to you. I mean do you just listen to what your doctor says at 100%? Most doctors base their instruction off of theory. Take what works for you and throw out the rest.

  130. Sally says

    March 8, 2012 at 7:25 am

    I love dr oz but he is becoming a money market man if u notice one month a certain oil will help reduce body fat then two months later oh another oil does it so just pay attention to what he say and do your research some people who watch his show could be easy to sell to so just listen very carefully

  131. Lori says

    March 12, 2012 at 1:30 pm

    The raspberry ketones I purchased did have caffeine (2 types). I questioned the store clerk on why it needed to have the caffeine if the raspberry ketones were so powerful in boosting your metabolism. He could not answer. I took one when I got up yesterday, drank water all day and had no added caffeine. I slept maybe one hour last night. I still do not feel tired or sleepy today. I am rethinking taking these. Going without sleep is a hinderance to losing weight, as is too much caffeine has been shown to make women store more belly fat. I have looked online today for raspberry ketones without caffeine and have not found them yet.

    Is it safe to take Konjac fiber, raspberry ketones, L-carnitine and white kidney bean extract all at the sames time or should you pick one of the supplements that are best your you? I am refering to Dr Ozs best supplements for over 40 weight loss article.

    Hi,
    I bought the ketone raspberry pills but don’t see a milligram on the bottle. Should there be?
    Thanks for your help.

  139. Christie says

    March 20, 2012 at 1:58 pm

    Just to clarify, The “Raspberry Ketones that was discussed on Dr. Oz were NOT the Raspberry Ketone That Ali and Ana are speaking of obviously “AFRICAN MANGO, EXTRACT IRVINGIA GABONENSIS, ACAI FRUIT, GREEN TEA, RESVERATROL, CAFFEINE ANHYDROUS, APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, KELP, GRAPEFRUIT”: are NOT in the suppliment that was being talked about. If your wanting to try the Raspberry Ketones, Ladies READ THE LABEL!!!!! Mine says Raspberry Ketones 125mg. and NOTHING ELSE.

  140. Jennifer says

    March 20, 2012 at 7:55 pm

    I agree with Christie read the label, and look for Raspberry Ketones only. Many companies add other herbs to create a weight loss formula that includes other herbs and/or caffeine. These hebs may not have been endorsed by Dr. Oz, so it is important to pay attention to what else you are taking. This could scare away others who want to take the raspberry ketones only. These other herbs/supplements could cause chest pains etc. I just got mine so I am not sure if they work. I bought them at my pharmacy and my pharmacist recommended them, and takes them himself. He sells 100 mg capsules and said to start with one a day at breakfast, and if that doesn’t work it can be increased two pills a day one at breakfast and one at lunch. I also know Dr. Oz said a bowel of Raspberries would give a simliar effect just not as concentrated, so it sounds pretty natural to me. However, its always good to find a good Dr. who is open to a natural approach (many are not) and then you can run these things by them.

  141. Lynn says

    March 21, 2012 at 6:38 am

    I’ve only been taking ketone raspberry for about 2 weeks. While I do feel better and less hungry at times, I have started to gain some weight instead of losing weight. Has anyone noticed this happening to them?

  142. Patti says

    March 21, 2012 at 12:49 pm

    I have been taking one a day for about 3 wks i lost a few lbs nothing big. They do NOT have caffeine in them. I have been sleeping fine.

  143. Patti says

    March 21, 2012 at 1:00 pm

    @aNA—what did urgent care say? Did you mention the keytones?

  144. Lynn says

    March 22, 2012 at 6:26 am

    I have not lost any weight. I have actually gained. I eat pretty healthy and exercise on a regular basis. This does not make sense to me. Anybody else experience the same?

  145. JB says

    March 23, 2012 at 12:15 pm

    Dr. Oz does give examples as to how they work and what they work for but he also says to speak with your doctor and to use it as a help and not your main way of losing weight he always tells you to be careful because everyone reacts to pills differently even the ones the doctors give you everyday. Dr. Oz also said that people are putting his face on pills to promote there site. READ READ READ the labels he said to use 100mg of Raspberry Ketone not all of that other stuff that Raspberry Pure has in it and as far as the L-Carnitine you should take 500mg. I take both together in the morning for the last week and have had no problems and I fell like I want to then I will stop. They are not a stimulant, the only way they would become a stimulant is when they place all of that other stuff in them. You need 100% pure, a talk with your doctor and research. So please stop blaming Dr. Oz because something that are said and done and placed in products is not him and we should not blame others if we don’t do our own research after all it is our bodies. Hope this helps. God Bless!

    I tried raspberry ketones a couple of months ago and it caused my heart to race and i had trouble sleeping. I asked my doctor about it and she had never heard of it and recomended that I stop taking it. Lets face it people there is NO magic pill that is going to make us lose weight.. It takes hard work and determination! Im now doing the muscle confusion dvds and have lost 6 lbs in one week! And ladies if you are having trouble with the mid section, sometimes that can be due to hormonal imbalance… as I have low estrogen high testosterone (im only 38).. We only have one body, lets treat it like a temple!! Good luck to you all!!!

  150. Jade says

    March 28, 2012 at 12:57 pm

    I have been taking Raspberry Ketone 500mg (1 capsule/day at breakfast) for about a week. I have lost almost 3lbs, my appetite has reduced, but I am ALWAYS in the BATHROOM! The capsules that I have been taking are pure raspberry ketone (no added ingredients). I have tried researching on the internet for others who have had the same side-effects but cannot find anything. I sleep very well at night and have lots of energy throughout the day. I just wish that they were not causing me to go to the bathroom 24/7. Is there any one else who has had a similar experience?

  151. maria says

    March 29, 2012 at 12:56 am

    well those of you that posted heart problems like pain, i think its the kelp in some of the products that were mentioned, kelp gives heart palpitations to me . so it might be that.

  152. Mary says

    March 29, 2012 at 12:08 pm

    Heard that the raspberry ketones are estrogen positive…anyone having had any estrogen positive cancer needs to beware…check it out!

    Can you take supoxan and raspberry keton?

  154. Pat says

    April 4, 2012 at 3:26 pm

    I went by the local Seventh Day Adventist Book and Health Food store, and they had “Raspberry Ketone Diet” pills, by Bio Nutrition, Inc. It listed as other ingredients (Raspberry Ketones and Green Tea Extract are the main ingredients) – vegetable cellulose (which is fiber), vegetable stearate (which has anecdotal evidence as being linked to magnesium stearate and that is possibly linked to serious side effects) and silica (potentially beneficial sand).

    People here are talking about pure raspberry ketones, but I am having a hard time finding them locally, and do not trust buying over the internet. Those that found them locally, what stores or types of stores were they in?

    Thanks!

  155. Patti says

    April 13, 2012 at 8:06 am

    You know i am experiencing chest pain now…i bet it is from these Keytones. Very scary…i am not taking them anymore!

  156. Patti says

    April 16, 2012 at 10:11 am

    Pat~~~~ what were the side effects? was it chest pain? because i had that all day Friday not sure what it was from? i did not go to the Er as it was under my ribs but i was very scared. i stopped taking them(they weer swanson) ketones and it said all natural…to me it isnt worth the scare!

  157. Vanessa says

    April 17, 2012 at 10:38 pm

    I have been taking Raspberry Ketone Ultra for about a week now. The bottle I ordered from Amazon.com is manufactured for Cetrolabs. The serving size is 2 capsules. Each Capsule contains:
    150 mg Raspberry Ketone
    100 mg Green Tea
    50 mg Caffeine Anhydrous
    300 mg Proprietary Blend of (apple cider vinegar, grapefruit, kelp acai fruit, african mango and reservatol)
    I have been taking 4 a day, I have not experienced chest pains nor rapid heartbeats…I have not experienced insomnia either. I have experienced gas, gas and lots of gas;-) I have also been going to the restroom about three times a day (not diarrhea, but regular stools).. I feel as though it is somehow cleaning me out. I can feel my belly loosening. Due to the prior reviews, I will decrease my dosage. I hope this has been helpful to you all. I will update you on my progress in about two weeks.

  158. Al says

    April 23, 2012 at 4:29 pm

    Vanessa, thanks for the info. I too have a lot of gas and am wondering how you are doing now – has your body adjusted or are you still gassed?

  159. Vanessa says

    April 23, 2012 at 5:38 pm

    Hi Al,
    The gas has stopped and I now have more energy. Hope this helps:-)

  160. Al says

    April 23, 2012 at 8:52 pm

    Thank you Vanessa. Yes that helps because I did not know what to do about the gas – give up RK or continue. I suppose in your case your body has adjusted. I have now been taking it for 2 weeks, but am very gassy.

  161. Susan Burkholder says

    April 23, 2012 at 9:18 pm

    If you are having negative issues with “Raspberry Ketone” products, look at the other ingredients. Those of you having heart palpitations, shortness of breath, etc…it’s probably because you are buying products with caffeine, or other stimulants. Raspberry Ketones are not a stimulant. If you are having gas, look at the other ingredients…..it could be the raspberry ketones, but it is more than likely some other component of whatever product you purchased. Look for reputable companies, sold at reputable vitamin retailers (preferably locally owned and managed by people know about supplements, and be a resource for information for you.

  162. Lynn says

    April 24, 2012 at 6:30 am

    Has anyone actually lost weight from taking the keytones? This is the start of my second bottle. I do feel a little gassy but not overly. I have not seen any weight loss. I eat smart, go to curves and still have not lost any weight. Do you think maybe it’s inches coming off instead? Help I’m getting depressed about spending money and nothing working!

  164. Vanessa says

    April 24, 2012 at 11:27 am

    Hi Lynn,
    I do think that you will be able to notice inches lost, after a period of time. Dr. Oz did mention that this was not a quick fix and that you should eat right and exercise. I think that over a period of time, more than a couple of months, you will start to notice the difference.

  165. Lynn says

    April 24, 2012 at 4:20 pm

    Thanks for your input!

  166. Al says

    April 24, 2012 at 4:24 pm

    Lynn, Could be with the way you eat and workout, you are fit and dont have much weight to lose? It is a fact you would lose weight rapidly when you begin a regime only if you have excessive weight – not a few pounds, but a whole lot. Make sense? So, in your case, I think it will happen but more slowly. Try a second bottle and see what happens.

  167. Lynn says

    April 25, 2012 at 9:43 am

    Hi Al,
    It’s true that I am a big boned person and I don’t have a lot to lose but I still would like to at least lose 10 pounds. I’ve lost about 10 inches off my total body since going to curves but have not lost any pounds. My clothes feel somewhat better but I don’t notice it considerably. Thanks for the feedback. I’m not a patient person but I guess it sounds like I need to be.

    The kojac root fiber is more like an appetite supressant. it also fills you up faster. I usually take it twice a day… 15 minutes to a half hour before lunch and dinner

  177. Al says

    May 28, 2012 at 6:26 pm

    Raspberry Ketone – I took it for 3 weeks, once a day and had extreme gas, so had to discontinue. That was 4 weeks ago, I still experience gas even though I stopped taking it! I would not recommend this product for anyone who has a weak stomach.

    I have lost a lot of weight with the raspberry ketones. I take one before breakfast and one before lunch. Of course, I am also using fitday.com and watching my calories. I highly recommend this free website. I have lost 35 lbs. in 6 weeks. However, I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis years ago which causes severe bladder burning 24/7. I stay virtually symptom free for years, unless I eat or drink too many citrus foods. The raspberry ketone have me burning like never before! Has anyone else experienced burning with them? I’m just wondering if it is just because of my condition. Like other readers, I also have trouble sleeping, but I always have; it just seems to be worse. I hate to give it up because ti’s the first thing to help me in years.

I bought the 200mg at GNC and going to start taking them tomorrow.
