Futurebiotics Red Raspberry Ketone + Green Tea-Review
Product Claims of Futurebiotics Red Raspberry Ketone + Green Tea
The focus of this product review is a product by Futurebiotics called Red Raspberry Ketone + Green Tea. The maker's of this supplement claim that the most significant health benefits associated with the use of raspberry ketones is the breaking down of fat within the cells. This leads to increased fat burning and weight loss. In addition, raspberry ketones increase levels of hormones that regulate fat burning.
Ingredients
- Raspberry Ketone - 300mg
- Green Tea Leaf Extract (Decaffeinated) - 200mg
- Modified Cellulose
- Stearic Acid
- Magnesium Stearate
This product only contains 300mg of Raspberry Ketones per serving whereas the recommended minimum of 1000mg per serving is the ideal amount. By taking too low a dose, even long term use of this supplement may not provide significant weight loss benefits. We were also concerned about the inclusion of artificial preservatives in this supplement. It is unclear if the capsules contain animal sourced ingredients and therefore unsuitable for vegetarians.
Dosage Instructions
Take one capsule per day at breakfast or lunch. If this supplement is not taken with a meal, it will not be absorbed properly and it may cause stomach upset or worse.

Summary Of Our Red Raspberry Ketone + Green Tea Review
We were encouraged by several aspects to this supplement. There is a generous year long guarantee and return policy, and it is free from caffeine and is suitable for vegetarians to use. Pricewise it is not too costly considering a $27.95 bottle should last you 2 months. We felt that the product was disappointing in several key areas however. The ingredients include artificial preservatives, and the product only supplies 300mg of Raspberry Ketones per serving whereas the recommended minimum of 1000mg per serving is the ideal amount. Shipping is an extra $4.95 and only free when spending $49 or more. The manufacturer does not offer any new customer incentives nor bulk buying discounts. There is no assurance from the manufacturer that the product is made in an FDA certified facility, that it is non GMO, and free from fillers and binders. The guarantee while generous does not appear to include the option to return opened bottles of capsules for a refund. For all these reasons we are unable to recommend this supplement. We suggest that you look for a raspberry supplement with a higher dose of Raspberry Ketones per serving (ideally a daily total of 1000mg), with bulk buying discounts, a better price and free shipping, and a guarantee that allows you to return opened bottles of capsules.
