Raspberry Ketones
What are they?
Ketone is the term used to refer to a particular chemical bond, and any molecule that contains that bond. A ketone bond is very reactive, which can allow the aromatization of a molecule containing it.
Aromatization means that we can sense the molecule as a smell. Raspberry ketones are a major aromatic compound in red raspberries, and thus they are responsible for the smell of raspberries. Because of this function, raspberry ketones have been used in cosmetics and perfumes as a scent since the 1960's. Naturally extracted raspberry ketones exist at about 1-4mg per kilogram of red raspberries. It would not be possible to eat enough raspberries to get a physiologically active dose. Because of this, naturally extracted raspberry ketones are extremely expensive, and so commercially available varieties are often synthesized in a lab.
Research
There are no studies yet available on the effects of raspberry ketones in humans. Dr. Oz's advice is based on two research studies involving mice that were fed high fat diets and high doses of raspberry ketones (1-2% of food weight). These mice failed to gain as much weight as other mice on the same diet. When examined, it was found that the mice fed raspberry ketones had higher levels of the hormone adpionectin. Another study also found that raspberry ketones promoted the breakdown of fat inside the fat cells to increase weight loss of mice. Thus, raspberry ketones have been established as body-fat-reducing in mice.
Skin Care
Raspberry ketones have also recently been studied for their role in cosmetics. Initial research in mice has appeared promising in this area as well. Topical application of raspberry ketones has been found to increase skin elasticity, and to inhibit melanin production. This means that applying raspberry ketones to the skin of mice was found to reduce wrinkles and lighten the skin colour. It was also found to promote hair growth in mice with hair loss (alopecia). These are interesting initial observations, and further research is required to see if the effects would carry over to humans as well.
Limitations of the Research
The initial research on raspberry ketones appears very promising. Unfortunately, because there are no human studies, it is not possible to say that the effects in mice will also be seen in humans. Although mice are a good initial test group to examine a general idea of function and safety, they are genetically different from us and do not always react the same way humans do to the same substances. Further research using humans is required to know the safety and efficacy of raspberry ketones in humans.
How fast does it work?
On the show Dr. Oz explains that results can be seen in a few days, and will progressively increase over time. There are no research studies to back up his claim at this time. Dr. Oz also stressed that these are not "magic pills" and that raspberry ketones have to be combined with a healthy diet and exercise to produce significant weight loss.
Dosage
There is no established safe dose for this particular supplement. On Dr. Oz's show a dose of between 100 and 200mg at breakfast was recommended to help support weight loss when combined with diet and exercise. Despite the lack of research, because raspberry ketones are extracted from the fruit, they are generally considered safe.
Green Coffee Berry Extract
When coffee beans are not roasted, they contain active compounds that may help promote weight loss ...
Recently on his self-titled program, Dr. Oz advertised green coffee bean extract as a "miracle pill to burn fat". On his show he says that taking green coffee bean extract can help you lose weight without changing your diet or increasing your activity level at all. Since that time, this supplement has been rising in popularity for this potential as a weight loss aid. It simply consists of and extract of the unroasted seed of the coffee plant (Coffea arabica).
How does it work?
Green coffee bean contains chlorogenic acid (CGA), which has been shown in mice studies to inhibit the release of glucose in the body and to boost the metabolism of sugar and fat in the liver. This can potentially help to drive the body towards burning more fat and storing less.
Can I just drink coffee instead?
It would appear that the benefits of green coffee bean extract are due to its high CGA content, and not its caffeine content, which is actually far less than a small cup of coffee. Unfortunately, roasting of the coffee beans for use in beverages, removes the chlorogenic acid. This sadly elminates the medicinal effect such that drinking a cup of coffee is not going to provide the same benefit.
Research
There is extremely limited research on the use of CGA for weight loss. In fact, it is limited to a single research study published in 2012. That study examined 16 overweight adults, and found that treatment with 350mg of green coffee bean extract three times daily for 12 weeks helped to cause significant reductions in body weight, despite no other change in diet. Interestingly, some preliminary research has found that CGA may help to protect brain cells against inflammatory damage in neurodegenerative disorders such as dementia.
How should I take GCBE?
According to the research study, 350mg three times daily (1050mg total) was sufficient to promote the desired weight loss. On the Dr. Oz show, their specialist (Lindsey Duncan, ND) recommended a dose of 800mg 30 minutes before meals with a full glass of water, twice daily (1600mg total). Unfortunately, due to the limited evidence, it is difficult to be sure what to take. I usually side with the research and would recommend taking 350mg three times daily before meals, although either suggested dose may be beneficial.
Important Information
There is limited research on green coffee bean extract, and further research into the safety of its long-term use is required. As it stands, no negative side effects to supplementation are known, although it can cause a slight reduction in blood pressure and heart rate. People with low blood pressure or heart failure should use this supplement with caution.
