Raspberry Ketone

Raspberry Ketone is derived from the chemical of red raspberries. It has been found to prevent and reduce obesity and fatty liver (1). This is due to raspberry ketone altering lipid metabolism by stimulating lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation (2) and reducing fat mass in adipocytes (3).
