What is Raspberry Ketones Plus?
Coming from across the pond, this United Kingdom based product claims that it is a safe, effective all natural product that can help both men and women lose the weight they have been hoping would disappear like a bad dream. Claimed to be effective at burning fat when included with a diet plan, if exercise is thrown into the mix results are practically promised to potential users.
But are these claims true? Or is this company just trying to get people excited over a product that doesn’t really work? We decided to look into this product and find out.
Who makes it?
How (and) does it work?
When a person ingests this product, the raspberry ketones included are claimed to help with weight loss. To see any significant effect, the daily recommended dose of this ingredient is 100mg. So when people see that this product contains 200mg, it seems like weight loss is a sure thing, especially with the inclusion of other ingredients such as African mango.
The sad fact of the matter however, is that these ingredients are touted to be effective by dietary supplement companies more than actual medical professionals. That’s not even mentioning that the other ingredients come in such low amounts that any positive effect from them would be minimal. As such some people who have used this product have not found the results they were looking for.
What’s inside of it and are there side effects?
Living up to the “Plus” in it’s name, Raspberry Ketone Plus contains more than just raspberry ketone. Also included are various other natural ingredients. This is similar to diet pills on the top 10 list. It should be noted however, that even if a diet pill does contain natural ingredients, that doesn’t necessarily make it effective in helping with weight loss.

What’s good about it?
Raspberry Ketone Plus has included within it all natural ingredients that cause no side effects. This can be a welcome relief for people who have tried other diet pills that contain synthetic ingredients that may cause a wide range of adverse effects.
What’s bad about it?
That’s not to mention that all of the ingredients come in insufficient amounts to be effective at all. This is a common practice that diet pill companies may use; while on the one hand having healthy ingredients, they come in such small amounts that their effectiveness is negligible.
And that’s not even mentioning the issue with the money-back guarantee. With this product you can only get your money back if you have never opened the bottle. So if your curiosity ever struck you and you turned the cap but didn’t consume anything, well you are already out of luck.
Wrap Up
People see the draw to natural products because they seem like they would be safe and effective. While they may not cause adverse effects, that doesn’t mean that they are effective in doing what they claim, as is the case with this product.
Bottom Line:
There has been a lot of hype because of the celebrity endorsement of some of the ingredients included in this product. However just because a famous person recommends something, that doesn’t mean that their word should be taken as fact. This product is not effective in helping people lose weight. There are better diet pills out there that can help you reach your weight loss goals. As it stands, the only thing that you will be losing with this product is your money.
