Coming in third place was Natrogix Raspberry Ketone Formula. The company develops natural supplements “for those who take health seriously”, but we’re not entirely sure they take their ingredient list as seriously. Although the supplement contains a beneficial dose of the necessary ketones, and includes African mango, extracts, and powders (which is good), this product still contained caffeine anhydrous as an additive, as well as magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide, which can cause unwelcome side effects, and are certainly not natural ingredients. Their guarantee was also not very extensive.
INGREDIENTS AND EFFECTIVENESS
Natrogix Raspberry Ketone Formula supplement provides consumers with 500 mg serving sizes of raspberry ketones, 300 mg of African mango, and 400 mg of their proprietary formula, though the blend actually contains unnatural ingredients that may lessen the effectiveness of the overall supplement. It may not be the best news that a good blend is diluted with so many additives and fillers that don’t need to be included.
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Our research indicated that users of this product were not getting the results they’d hope to see. Some reviewers stated they felt they wouldn’t have received a discounted rate on their orders unless they provided a generally positive online review, and others felt that they did not notice significant changes after weeks or months of use.
SUPPLEMENT SAFETY
As we stated above, some of the ingredients found inside Natrogix’s Raspberry Ketone Formula weren’t all-natural. This could create undesired side effects in an unknown number of users, as the ingredients contained a portion of stimulants, fillers, and additives that are at best unnecessary, and at worse potentially harmful when dieting. While these ingredients aren't inherently dangerous on their own, they can potentially cause unwanted physical reactions that do not support the consumer’s diet objectives. With little regulation in the supplement industry, it is important to be aware of what you put in your body, especially when dieting, managing your appetite, or using supplements.
GUARANTEE
A strong product guarantee is one of the most important factors when determining which product to purchase and which brand you can trust. When we checked Natrogix’s guarantee, they had a decent 60-day money-back guarantee paired with relatively responsive customer service, but it fell 30 days short of the typical 90-day timeframe for most returns with reputable companies. While a 60-day guarantee is sufficient for some, it doesn’t quite meet the extent of guarantees offered by companies such as our #1 pick - Essential Elements, which offers customers one full year to return a product.
SUMMARY
In the end, Natrogix came through with a solid effort in providing a proprietary blend of raspberry ketones and other compounds, but unfortunately the additives, fillers, and binders got in the way of providing maximum effectiveness and results for consumers. We’re impressed with their commitment to interactive customer service, but we feel that they wouldn’t have to mitigate certain issues if they simply refined and improved their product. For this reason, Natrogix finishes in third place, having just edged out coming in fourth.
RECAP
So, Natrogix Raspberry Ketone Formula comes in third place, and here’s why:
- Lower 500 mg serving size of raspberry ketones
- Proprietary blend that provides some healthy compounds and antioxidants
- Includes some unnatural stimulants, additives, and fillers
- Some lackluster customer reviews or results
- Shorter money-back guarantee than most competitors (60 days)

P.S. While Essential Elements 100% All Natural Raspberry Ketones proved to be the best brand we found in our search, we would still love to hear about any others you've tried. If you have had a great experience of your own, please send me an email at Beverly@ConsumersSurvey.org with the details.
