Raspberry Ketone is a natural phenolic compound that is responsible for the heavenly aroma of red raspberries. Scientists have shown that pungent compounds with similar chemical structures, such as capsaicin and synephrine, have lipolytic properties – causing fat breakdown. The more effective breakdown of fat in your cells helps your body burn fat faster.  
Raspberry Ketone probably works directly via the hormone-sensitive enzyme lipase. This enzyme is activated via the beta-adrenergic receptors. Researchers have shown that, as a result of raspberry ketone, more hormone-sensitive lipase goes to the vesicles in which the fat cells store their fatty acids. Hormone-sensitive lipase gets fat cells to mobilize and excrete fatty acids.  
Raspberry Ketone has also been shown to increase the secretion of adiponectin. This is important because adiponectin is a protein hormone that modulates a number of metabolic processes. Past research into adiponectin has shown that your levels of adiponectin are inversely correlated with your body fat percentage.  
And if weight loss isn’t enough, higher levels of adiponectin have been shown to control the metabolic derangements that may result from type 2 diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and metabolic syndrome.  
As a result, researchers have concluded that Raspberry Ketone “holds great promise as a fat-burning, health-improving herbal medicine.” 
Raspberry Ketone is not to be confused with blood ketones produced in ketoacidosis due to diabetes or a very low carbohydrate diet.
