Blend names 11, 13 and 18
Raspberry Ketones, Grapefruit Seed and Licorice Salt in SodaBurn
Raspberry ketones, grapefruit seed extract and monoammonium glycyrrhizinate are three names in the SodaBurn blend that fit no other group. By label order they weigh at most 1.19, 1.41 and 0.86 mg per 1 ml. We found no readable source on the first two, and the third is a licorice salt with a blood pressure caution.

The three names
Which blend names fit no other group?
Three names do not belong with the herbs or the amino acids: grapefruit seed at place 11, raspberry ketones at place 13 and monoammonium glycyrrhizinate at place 18.
The label prints one 15.47 mg total for all 21 blend names. FDA rules list the names from heaviest to lightest, so the name in place n weighs at most the total divided by n (21 CFR 101.36, Proprietary blends). That ceiling is the only number we can give.

Place 13
What are raspberry ketones and do they work?
Raspberry ketones are a flavor compound found in raspberries, usually made in a lab for supplements. We found no source we could read that tests them, so we cannot say they work.
They are sold for weight, but a sales use is not evidence. A review of 54 trials found too little proof to recommend any herbal medicine it covered for weight loss (Maunder 2020, Herbal medicines for weight loss). With no study amount to compare, there is no gap to measure. We also found no verified caution source. That is a gap in our reading, not proof of safety.
What we found
A name on the label, a ceiling of 1.19 mg, and a sales use.
What we did not find
A readable trial, a study dose or a caution source.
What to do
Ask your pharmacist if you take medicine. Judge the bottle by the label, not the sales use.
Place 11
Is grapefruit seed extract a concern with medicines?
It might be, and we cannot rule it in or out. Grapefruit can change how some medicines work, but we found no source we could read on whether a seed extract does.
The label says only "grapefruit seed", not whether it is a ground seed or an extract. We found no study dose and no verified caution source for it. A short question to your pharmacist settles it.
- Bring the bottle, or a photo of the label, to the pharmacy.
- Name every medicine and supplement you take.
- If you were told to avoid grapefruit juice, say so.
Place 18
What is monoammonium glycyrrhizinate and who should be careful?
Monoammonium glycyrrhizinate is a salt of glycyrrhizin, the sweet compound of licorice root. It is the one name here with a clear caution: glycyrrhizin from licorice is linked to high blood pressure and low potassium in large or long-term amounts.
NCCIH says licorice is generally safe as a food. It also says glycyrrhizin can cause serious effects, including irregular heartbeat, and that even small amounts have been linked to severe effects in people with high blood pressure, heart or kidney conditions (NCCIH, Licorice root). A review of 104 case reports tied continuous intake of large amounts to high blood pressure and low potassium (Nutrients 2023, Liquorice toxicity).
Those cases involved excess licorice, not this supplement. We do not know how 0.86 mg compares with the licorice in those reports, so we make no claim either way.
| If you have or take | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| High blood pressure | Named as at risk even from small amounts of licorice (NCCIH, Licorice root) |
| Heart or kidney conditions | Named as at risk, with irregular heartbeat reported |
| Corticosteroids | Interactions are reported |
| Pregnancy | Large oral amounts of licorice are unsafe in pregnancy |

Before you order
Who should ask a doctor first?
Anyone who takes medicine, is pregnant or nursing, or has a medical condition. Never stop prescribed medicine for a supplement.
Ask first with diabetes medicine, blood thinners, blood pressure or heart medicine, stimulants, seizure medicine, liver or kidney disease, or surgery soon. Chest pain, trouble breathing, fainting or a racing heartbeat that will not settle: call 911. Yellow skin or eyes, dark urine or pain under the right ribs: see a doctor right away. Weight care rests on eating, activity, sleep and stress care (CDC, Steps for losing weight).
