Otherwise known as a patented version of raspberry ketones, Razberi-K is one of a recent flood of patented ingredients to hit the weight loss market. Also known as 4-Hyroxyphneyl butan-2-one, Razberi-k contains a number of active ingredients now known to accelerate fat loss. In fact, one study conducted on mice using a high fat and high calorie diet in conjunction with raspberry ketones in some and not others showed a distinct difference between the weight gain in the two groups.
Moreover, one unpublished study studied the effect of one dose of razberi-k on men and women with an average age of 31.3 years. Fat oxidation was measured as they participated in a number of exercise routines, and it was found that subjects who used razberi-k showed a greater level of fat oxidation in 30 minute recovery periods after the exercise portion.
So how does it work? Razberi-K directly supports fat reduction by first decreasing your body’s actual absorption of fat intake. Second, it induces lipolysis, which is essentially processing and burning of fat. By doing all this, it increases the thermogenic effect in the body, helping it to burn excess adipose tissue.
This particular ingredient is stimulant free and side effect free, which is a big bonus for many a dieter. Experts recommend a minimum dose of 100mg twice daily to produce the desired results. However, even with that relatively low dosage, a number of products boasting the use of Razberi-K don’t actually use enough. In short, don’t just look for Razberi-K in a weight loss product, look for the right amount.
