What Are the Side Effects of Raspberry Ketone? Mostly Unknown
The side effects of raspberry ketone are mostly unknown, because reliable human research is lacking. A 2021 review says it is not yet established as safe, and the NIH says its safety is not studied enough. SodaSlim lists 130 mg of it per capsule, so the honest answer is to ask a clinician first.

What are the side effects of raspberry ketone?
No reliable list exists. A 2021 review says reliable human research on raspberry ketone is lacking, with most support coming from cells and rodents (Rao 2021, Raspberry ketone review).
The NIH's consumer page says the effect on weight is unknown and its safety has not been studied enough (NIH ODS, Weight loss supplements (consumers)). The same review notes that it is not yet established as safe.
What human data does raspberry ketone have?
Almost none on its own. The one trial often cited tested a mixed product, so its result cannot be credited to raspberry ketone.
Mayo Clinic describes it: 70 adults, 8 weeks, 45 finished. The supplement group lost 1.9 kg and the placebo group 0.4 kg. The product also had caffeine, bitter orange, ginger and garlic root extract, and Mayo calls the trial too small and short (Mayo Clinic, Dietary supplements for weight loss).
| Question | What sources say |
|---|---|
| Weight effect alone | Unknown |
| Human trials alone | Lacking |
| Mixed-product trial | 8 weeks, 45 finished, four other ingredients |
| Safety | Not established |
| Doses in products | Sold at very high doses, a concern |
Is 130 mg of raspberry ketone a lot?
We cannot say, because no verified human dose exists to compare with. The 2021 review flags that supplements are sold at very high doses and calls that a concern (Rao 2021, Raspberry ketone review).
Raspberries hold only trace amounts of this compound, so 130 mg is not a food-sized amount. The label does not say where the capsule's raspberry ketone comes from or give a standardization.
It is 19.8% of the 658 mg of listed ingredients, level with three other lines. Our raspberry ketone page has the full profile.

See packsWhat does the label leave out about this line?
It leaves out the source, the purity and any test. The label prints the amount, 130 mg, and nothing else about it.

FAQ01
SodaSlim questions people ask
Is raspberry ketone safe to take?
Safety has not been established in people. A 2021 review says it is not yet shown safe (Rao 2021, Raspberry ketone review), and the NIH says safety is not studied enough (NIH ODS, Weight loss supplements (consumers)). Ask a doctor first, especially with a medicine or a condition.
Does raspberry ketone make you jittery?
No source links raspberry ketone alone to jitters. In SodaSlim the likelier cause is caffeine, at 138 mg per capsule, which the FDA lists with jitters and a fast heart rate when intake is too high.
Do raspberries give the same ketone as the capsule?
No. Raspberries hold only tiny traces of the compound, while the label lists 130 mg. Eating the fruit is a different thing from taking a concentrated capsule line.
