Raspberry ketones have a similar molecular structure as two known fat-burning compounds. While they show potential in test-tube studies, these results do not necessarily apply to humans.

Around 2010, scientists noticed that raspberry ketone had a similar molecular structure to capsaicin, which is the chemical responsible for the heat in chili peppers. Preliminary studies also ...

"While trying to find a substance which has a similar chemical structure to that of capsaicin which is known to burn fat, we discovered raspberry ketone," said Mariko Hara, a researcher at Kanebo's ...

Safety for use in children and lactating women has not been proven. Raspberry ketone has a chemically similar structure to synephrine, a known stimulant. Individuals with heart disease or ...
