The Fat Burning Effects of Raspberry Ketones
Recently highlighted on the Doctor Oz show, raspberry ketones are the organic chemical in raspberries that gives them their distinctive smell. Raspberry ketones are phenolic compounds, a type of compound commonly found in a wide variety of plants. What makes raspberry ketones special is their unique fat fighting ability, caused by three unique biological effects the regular ingestion of raspberry ketones produces: Enhanced regulation of glucose metabolism, decreased insulin secretion, and increased fatty acid mobilization.
Glucose metabolism is a key variable in weight loss and weight gain. Individuals with an exceptionally poor ability to metabolize glucose gain weight easily and have a very difficult time burning it off. Conversely, individuals with exceptional glucose metabolizing abilities can eat large quantities of food and resist gaining weight.
Raspberry ketones are able to boost glucose metabolism in people that can only slowly metabolize glucose. The end result is that with raspberry ketones individuals that tend to retain fat very easily find themselves eating more and weighing less.
Raspberry ketones also help with decreasing insulin secretion. The rate of insulin secretion plays a pivotal role in the rate of general metabolism. Fast metabolizers secrete much less insulin on a daily basis than slow metabolizers. Insulin tends to signal the body to slow down metabolism and store sugars as fats. The mechanism by which raspberry ketones decrease insulin secretion is not well understood, but a bevy of animal studies attests to the fact that this natural chemical is more than capable of doing so.
Fatty acid mobilization is an even more important factor in weight loss than glucose metabolism and insulin secretion. The term "fatty acid mobilization" refers to the body's ability to "mobilize" or move stored fat into cells that break down fat in exchange for energy.
Raspberry ketones are the only chemical on the market that is proven to have any effect on fatty acid mobilization. Raspberry ketones greatly accelerate the rate of fatty acid mobilization, so that stored body fat can be burned at a much faster rate.
Of course, no dietary supplement can effect dramatic weight loss on its own. Raspberry ketones are most effectively used in the context of a regular exercise program. In fact, there are synergistic benefits that result from combining a regular aerobic exercise program with raspberry ketone supplementation: More fat is burned with a combined approach than is burned by the sum of the effects of raspberry ketones alone and exercise alone.
if you are still hesitant about the idea of using raspberry ketones, a number of animal studies have been conducted on the safety of raspberry ketones and found that they have zero impact on health. Animals dosed with raspberry ketones actually appeared healthier than animals not dosed with raspberry ketones.
Raspberry ketones don't just enhance the ability to lose weight; they also subtly enhance general health. This is why people taking raspberry ketones often report that their overall health improves after beginning supplementation.
Give it a try and feel the difference your self.
