Razberi-K –Radical Fat Burning Swiss Army Knife
The first interesting compound is called Razberi-K, also known as 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) butan-2-one, which is a ketone unique to red raspberry. Raspberries contain many bioactive constituents beneficial for health. One particular constituent, 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) butan-2-one appears to have the potential to decrease body fat. In a recent study, mice were fed a high fat diet to induce obesity while treated groups were also fed an additional 1 or 2% raspberry ketone. The treated groups gained less body fat than the control groups.
How does Razberi-K work?
In laymen terms, Razberi-K appears to have at least two beneficial effects for losing bodyfat namely, decreasing absorption of dietary fat and increasing norepinephrine-induced lipolysis (see http://blog.bodybuilding.com/vince_andrich/2006/10/12/neuro-chemi cal-diet-warfare/). Importantly, research suggests that in the reduction of absorption of dietary fat, the inhibition of trioleoylglycerol hydrolysis plays a major role. Further research advocates that enhancing lipolysis may augment glycerol release, increasing the translocation of hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) in fat cells, and increasing brown adipose tissue, known to increases thermogensis and oxidation of body fat.
Application and Serving Size
Razberi-K is appropriate in a product for weight management. It can be administered in a capsule, tablet, powder or liquid. The recommended serving is 100 mgs twice daily.
