Raspberry ketone (RK) is an aromatic compound found in red raspberries.

Its molecular structure is similar to capsaicin and synephrine, which are also thermogenic. However, instead of getting its actions through agonizing beta receptors (like capsaicin), RK causes HSL (hormone-sensitive lipase) to translocate to within the fat cell. HSL is the enzyme that, once inside the fat cell, slices apart fat molecules into various fatty acids in preparation for fat metabolism. Furthermore, this particular activity is the rate-limiting step in lipolysis within the cell. This means that you cannot have maximum lipolysis without ample supplies of HSL inside the fat cell.

RK has no documented side effects related to consumption and may even be more thermogenic than capsaicin. Due to the similarity in structure of RK to capsaicin and synephrine, scientific research to test the fat-loss effects of RK was done. Research clearly showed that RK prevented the onset of obesity in mice even when the animals were on a high-fat diet. RK also prevented an increase in blood triglyceride following a high-fat meal. That means that RK not only prevented the onset of obesity, but it also prevented the storage of fat. When rats were overfed fructose, a simple sugar linked to the current obesity epidemic, RK prevented fat synthesis. RK’s fat loss effects come from their ability to enhance norepineprine-induced fat loss by promoting the relocation of HSL from the cytosol of cells directly to fat deposits.

RK is a must!! By: Aimee

More suggestions besides just protein powder for RK: put 1 or 2 oolong tea bags in a bottle of water, let steep for few minutes and then add between 1/4 teaspoon and 1 teaspoon of RK. Add 8 drops of Lumina Health's Cell Food to it for increased absorption & amino's & enzymes. There is also a new Special K, protein water mix (iced tea flavor packets ). 5 grams of protein & fiber in these a piece. It also mixes with cottage cheese or yogurt (try to get organic, if possible). Last but not least, just cap it.

Nutraplanet is the bomb! By: Aimee

Nutraplanet, Thank you so much for providing such awesome products. I am a clinical nutritionist, LMT, and CSCS. I am constantly trying to find new things to suggest to my clients that they can incorporate into an everyday regime, and to try on myself. THIS WORKS! I have been using this two ways: as a transdermal with penetrate , and 1/4 teaspoon mixed with SunFood Organic Cacao Powder , and Swiss Miss Sugar Free hot chocolate mix. Use a hand mixer with this, a spoon or shaking it won't work. This particular Raw Chocolate powder has a TON of antioxidants, but really bitter like chocomine. I have found that really over a 1/4 of raspberry at one time, doesn't make much difference except taste like bad lipstick! This mixture twice or three times a day along with the transdermal 2x a day should be added to your fat burning stack. It can be sticky when you first apply it, let it dry & absorb. It will benefit any stack.
