Dr. Oz did a show to help folks increase their metabolisms (especially those over 40 who may be noticing a decrease) called "Fat Busting Metabolism Boosters"
and featured raspberry ketone.
Scientists have recently discovered that raspberries contains a number of biologically active constituents beneficial to health. Raspberry ketone (4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) butan-2-one) is one such constituent. And scientific studies indicate it has the potential to help decrease bodyfat significantly.
Raspberry ketone anti-obesity effects appear to be due to 1) decreased absorption of dietary fat and 2) increased fat burning. In addition, as reported by Morimoto et al (2005), raspberry ketone may also increase brown adipose tissue thermogenesis and lower the respiratory quotient, the end result of which is increased thermogenesis (burning calories through heat) and oxidation of body fat (fat burning).
Raspberry Ketones have also been shown to:
~Improve focus and concentration
~Suppress appetite
~Reduce fatty deposits within blood vessels

And according to this Planta Medica study, Raspberry Ketone is also a potent fat burner.
Tested on a group of portly lab mice, it was discovered that raspberry ketone increased both the expression and secretion of adiponectin.
This is important because adiponectin is a protein hormone which modulates a number of metabolic processes, including glucose regulation and fatty acid catabolism.
Past research into adiponectin has shown that your levels of adiponectin are inversely correlated with your body fat percentage: Higher adiponectin = lower levels of body fat.
During this latest study, this theory was re-affirmed as the formerly fat lab mice melted off a ton of body-fat.
And if weight loss isn’t enough, higher levels of adiponection have been shown to control the metabolic derangements that may result in type 2 diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome.
As a result of all of this, the researchers concluded that Raspberry Ketone “holds great promise as an fat-burning, health-improving herbal medicine.
Conclusion
Expect to see Raspberry Ketones included in more & more fat burner supplements.
