Evidence notes

While raspberry contains well-characterized bioactive compounds (anthocyanins, ellagic acid, vitamin C), human clinical trials are limited and mostly small. Animal and in vitro studies show promise, but robust RCT evidence in humans is lacking. Grade C reflects moderate preliminary evidence.

Grade C: Mostly observational or small trials; mechanism is plausible but unproven at scale.
