Approximately two thirds of adults in the United States are overweight or have obesity. Achieving a healthy weight can help manage cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar. It could also help prevent weight-related diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and some types of cancers. The excess of eating food or not being physically active will make a person obese in most cases. To maintain the correct weight, the intake of calories should be equal to the energy burned.

This product is a combination of raspberry ketones and chromium picolinate.

Raspberry ketones are molecules contained in many plants and responsible
for giving them a sweet aroma. These plants include raspberries, peaches, grapes, kiwifruit, apples, various types of berries and also some vegetables. Most research on the use of raspberry ketones as a weight loss aid has been done on mice. Studies on mice have shown a potential weight loss effect.

A 2005 study published on the Journal of Life Science, found that mice fed a high-fat diet, with the intake of raspberry ketones, prevented weight gain in the liver and visceral fat that surrounded the organs. Another study showed raspberry ketones increased the breakdown of lipids (fat molecules) within fat cells.

In 2010, an article published on the Journal Planta Medica, found raspberry ketones to stimulate fat cells yielding more secretion of the protein adiponectin. Low levels of adiponectin in the organism are more frequent in obese people or those with type 2 diabetes.

Chromium is considered an important macronutrient. It has several applica-
tions in the human organism and it has been found to lead to weight loss. Chromium when combined with picolinic acid, becomes chromium picolinate. This type of compound has shown to be more effective than chromium by itself due to better absorption.
