Dr. Oz Sparks Debate About Raspberry Ketone Supplements

Dr. Oz has become a supplement pushing machine! I no longer watch his show. he is after the almighty ratings game and the big buck!

I sent for Pure Raspberry Ketone 250mg-240 caps from Nutra-bio online last nite. I am going to try them and see if they work for me, I am not on any meds. I do exercise, and eat sensibly most of the time!

raspberry keytones do nothing,at all.i have been takeing them for weeks now,go to the gym 4-5 days a week,and not 1 pound lost.it is a scam

I consider this irresponsible of Dr. Oz. There is NO food or OTC medication that will take pounds off. (There IS a very dangerous chemical that will, but people took more than was safe, so it was pulled years ago . . . it uncoupled oxidative phosphorylation so energy released was not "captured" in the production of ATP, rather it was released as heat. As others have said: less food, quality nutrition, exercise (weights and cardio) AS A LIFE STYLE, rather than a temporary restrictive diet.

if you want to lose weight, this pill alone is not gonna do it.. you have do your part by eating better and exercise.. sitting in front of the tv and eating bad carbs is not helping you one bit.. even walking 30mins aday is better than nothing..

Change eating habits get 8 hr of sleep and 30 min of some kind of exercise a day. If you want new and better you have to be willing to get it. A fast fix did not put the pound on us ,we did so it would make since that a fast fix cant fix it.We have to be willing to take one day at a time and know that you are worth it only you can get your sexy back.....

I imagine it definitely could affect a person's panic attacks. Since it works as a stimulant, and therefore increases blood pressure and heart rate, probably wouldn't be a comfortable experience. These ladies are right. There's no quick fix. The only thing that's ever worked for me is eating less and moving more. Takes a little time, and patience. It's sad, but I'd say since Dr. Oz is endorsing this kind of thing, he's sold out. Maybe I'm wrong, but He knows eating right and exercising is the best way to go. And hello! 90 pounds of fresh berries to produce a few pills? Doesn't seem so necessary to the healthy diet to produce that much waste. Does it?

I work in a health food store and we sell vitamins to and raseberry ketones.People make me mad when they buy this and say so this the mircle supplement .They forget you have to work out and eat good.They want to be lazy and sit on there butts all day. Talk to your doctor and stop listening to Dr.Oz. .

i only took one pill and a smidge of some from the capsule....conincedentally my t4 is now high, but they fogot the tsh...i'll have it all chked again in a few months...i'm nt taking anything and am having energy- i hope the t4 goes to normal again and i still have this energy.

before, my tsh was high and i was tired all the time....i've been tested for disease etc for many years now...t4,t3 and tsh tests are a must when supplementing for thyroid.imo

i get energized from eating a bowl of mixed berries and we all know that is safe and won't interact with anything

Hi everyone.. I got some raspberry keytones after my mom saw this show and told me about it. HOWEVER I DID call my doctor first because I have hypothyroidism and on medication for that which we had been having trouble getting a dose that would put my thyroid levels in the normal range. I told her about the show and that I was interested in this, even if it didn't help me lose weight I have 3 kids, husband in the military, and go to college I could use an energy boost, and wanted a natural one. I work out daily, (use to be a marine as well) and with the thyroid I could not lose weight after having my son which is how I found out about my thyroid. My doctor told me to look for ones that were just the raspberry cerotine with out all the added crap in it. So I did a lot of research and found some that are nothing but the raspberry, basically just taking the raspberry skin and natural sugars out of the mix. I take 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon (bottle says you can take up to 4 a day), and after 2 weeks the only side effect my doctor and I see is I kind of smell like raspberries for about an hour afterward, and I can taste it.. and unless you don't like the taste of raspberries then thats not a bad thing. I do have high blood pressure that I'm being treated for and I test my BP a few times a day and take a log and my medication for it is once nightly before bed. I have not noticed at all a change in my BP making it higher, it has been well with in a normal range and I have had fewer migraines because of it. I am NOT taking the exact pills that Oz suggested I did my own research on them.. and the way I see it with this other doc mentioned above, all doctors have their own opinions, I have had 2 doctors in the same practice before believe two different things about the same issue. You should always do your own research on things and not just be a robot and do what they say with out finding out the who, what, when , where and why if what your doing or the condition you have, you know your own body better then anyone else. I am going to keep taking my raspberry keytones until I see an affect in my own body that concerns me or my doctor.. but right now I just got a call on Monday that my thyroid levels that were checked the Friday before are FINALLY normal, and I have lost so much since Christmas (I'm not using the pills as a crutch, I am eating differently, and working out daily as well) but since taking the keytones I have been getting much faster results with what I'm doing. Say it's just kicking in, or say it's the keytones I don't care I'm now feeling better, inside and out and they sure are not hurting me.

Has anyone with panic and/or anxiety disorders tried this supplement? I ordered them and they came in the mail today, but I am worried about taking them. I just don't want anything else to trigger my panic/anxiety attacks. I know everyone is affected differently, but I just want advice from someone like me that has tried this. Thanks...

Dr. Oz is in the business of making people, especially women, think they have multiple illnesses or that they need to start taking random supplements (like this raspberry crap) to either lose weight or maintain a long life. Everytime there is a commercial for his show it's always: Today on Dr. Oz, you'll learn how to beat the 4 top chronic illnesses and beat belly fat once and for all.
There's no doubt he is a smart doctor but he is turning legit healthcare into a money making scheme.

I have been taking 3 pills a day for a week now and haven't notice any change at all....plus been eating right and excersize....I think it was all a joke when it comes to a magic weight loss.

I don't know what everyone is talking about....it isn't a miracle pill and never once did dr. Oz say that taking this supplement ALONE would make you lose weight. All through the show and all his shows he pushes a healthy diet and exercising. It is simply an aid to help with the process but all the work comes from Us ourselves. America, you're simply just fat. We eat out a lot and we're lazy to cook our own food and workout. I've lost 70lbs listening to dr. Oz in 4 months. I eat a lot.....of food I cook myself. I cut out packaged food like he said....i exercise regularly and take supplements that I find help the process because when I started I didn't take a single supplement. Everyone is different and needs different supplements. stop looking for the easy way out..it is also a mental thing.that's all I gotta say.

and also, i agree that one ingredient or medicine will affect each person differently, and the one i bought was rasp.ketones only-not the ketones plus [other ingredients]. i am sensitive to medications and supplements, so this is probably why i am feeling so energized. I haven't taken a decongestant for many years cause of the wired effect. but it would be great if i can adjust my dose of raspK , i exercise and eat well-just have a sluggish thyroid [been tested and all that :) ].....

I see a lot of Dr. Oz bashing. What it comes down to is; do your homework, find out for yourself if any supplement is what you want to put into your body. If anyone took all the supplements he suggests, a person wouldn't have to eat! He does have some good suggestions, but make sure its right for you.

Eat raspberries. They are good for you. Screw the supplement.

Its not common sense to know that 99% of the medicine that is out there today will affect everyone differently just because it might not work for you doesnt mean that it wont for somebody else.
