Summary

Retride in 60 seconds

Summary

Retride is a capsule supplement sold for metabolism and weight-management support. Each two-capsule serving holds a 60 mg blend of magnesium, calcium and sodium beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), taken once a day with water, so one bottle covers 30 days. The label pairs it with a high-fat, very-low-carb diet. Bottles cost $49 to $79 depending on the pack, and every order gets 60 days to ask for a refund.

The problem

Why people look for a keto and weight management supplement like Retride

Getting into ketosis

Keto takes days of very low carbs. People hope a capsule speeds up the switch.

The first rough week

Headache and tiredness in week one, called keto flu, send people looking for help.

Cravings

Cutting bread and sugar is hard. Appetite support is a common reason to buy.

A daily reminder

A capsule each morning can remind you that you are on a plan.

A capsule plays a minor role in all of this. The NIH says “little is known” about whether weight-loss supplements work, and that lasting results rest on diet and activity (NIH ODS Weight-loss supplements fact sheet). Our keto diet guide covers the food side.

The product

What is Retride?

Retride bottle on a purple stand
The Retride bottle holds 60 capsules. The label calls it Advanced Weight Loss Support.

Retride comes as swallow-down capsules, sold as a dietary supplement. Sixty capsules fill each bottle, which lasts 30 days at two a day.

The active part is three ketone salts. A ketone salt is BHB, the main ketone your body makes in ketosis, bound to a mineral: here magnesium, calcium and sodium.

The mechanism

How is Retride supposed to work?

One idea per step, each with a source.

  1. 1

    BHB is your body's own fuel

    When carbs stay under about 50 g a day, the liver turns fat into ketones. BHB is the main one (StatPearls, Ketogenic Diet, 2023).

  2. 2

    Salts add BHB from outside

    Drinks with about 12 to 24 g of BHB salts raised blood BHB to about 1.0 mM, a light ketosis (Stubbs et al., 2017).

  3. 3

    Appetite research uses esters

    A ketone ester drink cut hunger for a few hours (Stubbs et al., 2018 (ketone ESTER)). Esters are a different form from the salts in Retride.

  4. 4

    Minerals carry the BHB

    Magnesium, calcium and sodium keep BHB a stable powder. Ketone doses also lowered blood glucose a little, salts less than esters (Falkenhain et al., 2022).

How Retride works brand graphic: follow label directions, product formula, daily routine, Supplement Facts, bottle label, adult use
Brand artwork titled “How Retride works.” It shows a routine (follow the label, check the Supplement Facts), not a study result.

Why these salts?

Give the body a little BHB from outside while the diet teaches it to make its own.

The catch is the amount. Those studies used thousands of milligrams; Retride lists 60 mg. Read the steps as why the salts were chosen, not as proof. More on the how Retride works page.

Honest analysis

Retride dosage vs. research dosage: an honest look

The section most keto pill pages leave out.

The Retride blend is 60 mg per serving. Human ketone-salt studies used 10 to 24 grams a day, roughly 170 to 400 times more.

BHB salt dose, scaled to the largest study dose

Retride label serving60 mgWhole BHB blend
Roeth 202510 g a dayNo significant extra loss vs placebo
Stubbs 2017≈ 12 g per drinkPeaked near 1 mM blood BHB
Buga 2021≈ 24 g a day7.3 kg vs 8.0 kg on placebo

Even big doses gave modest results. On a keto diet, people lost the same weight on salts as on placebo (Buga et al., 2021). With a calorie deficit, 10 g a day did not beat placebo significantly (Roeth et al., 2025).

That does not make the capsule fake. It means the diet on the label does the heavy lifting.

Benefits

What are the benefits of Retride?

The four label claims, in the brand's words.

Advanced Weight Loss Support*

The main claim. In trials, BHB salts added no clear loss beyond diet (Buga et al., 2021).

Supports Healthy Metabolism*

BHB is a fuel the body burns in ketosis. The capsule adds a little.

Promotes Fat Burning*

Fat burning rises when carbs are low. The diet drives that switch.

Helps Reduce Appetite & Cravings*

Seen with a ketone ester, not salts (Stubbs et al., 2018 (ketone ESTER)).

Where it can help

  • A simple habit that fits a keto plan
  • A full Supplement Facts panel
  • A tiny, gentle mineral load
  • 60 days to decide

Where it cannot

  • It does not create ketosis by itself
  • It does not replace the diet
  • Not a treatment for any disease
  • Not a weight-loss medicine

These are the claims printed on the Retride label. They are the brand's words, marked with the FDA asterisk. Retride is a dietary supplement, not a drug and not a weight-loss medicine, and no study has tested this formula. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Details: Retride benefits.

Honest analysis

Retride pros and cons

Pros

  • Full Supplement Facts panel on the label
  • Easy: 2 capsules once a day
  • Label pairs it with a clear keto ratio
  • As low as $49 per bottle in the 6-pack
  • 60-day window and a phone desk

Cons

  • 60 mg of BHB vs 10 to 24 g in studies
  • Proprietary blend: salt split not published
  • No study on the formula
  • No verified reviews yet
  • Buyer pays return shipping

Treat the capsule as a small helper next to a real keto diet, and the cons matter less. If you hoped it would do the work alone, they matter a lot.

Safety

Is Retride safe? Side effects and interactions

For healthy adults, the 60 mg capsule is a small load. The bigger questions come from the keto diet on the label.

Retride side effects and interactions

Possible issueCauseWhat to do
Keto flu: headache, tiredness, nauseaCutting carbs hard (Bostock et al., 2020)It usually fades within about 4 weeks.
Low blood sugarKeto plus insulin or diabetes pills (StatPearls, Ketogenic Diet, 2023)Speak with your doctor before starting.
Upset stomachHigh-dose ketone salts (Stubbs et al., 2019)Unlikely at 60 mg.
Too much sodium, calcium or magnesiumLarge salt doses (FDA, NIH, NIH)The blend is 60 mg, so each mineral is less.

Full list: Retride side effects.

Timeline

How long does Retride take to work?

  1. Week 1

    Start the routine and the diet

    Two capsules each morning, fewer carbs. Keto flu often shows up now.

  2. Weeks 2–4

    Settle in

    Keto flu usually fades by week four. Note your weight and carbs weekly.

  3. Weeks 6–8

    The length of the salt studies

    BHB salt trials ran 6 to 8 weeks. Keep the diet steady to judge fairly.

  4. Day 60

    Make your call

    Check your notes. If it has not suited you, call before the window closes.

Nobody can promise a timeline. Keto flu peaks in week one (Bostock et al., 2020). Salt trials lasted 6 weeks (Buga et al., 2021) and 8 weeks (Roeth et al., 2025). Keto diets beat low-fat diets by about 0.91 kg after a year (Bueno et al., 2013). See the results timeline.

Legit check

Is Retride legit or a scam?

Retride exists, has a printed label and sells through a working checkout. Getretride sells it, and BuyGoods handles payment and phone support. Keto pills attract scams, though, including fake Shark Tank endorsements (FTC Military Consumer, 2023). Run any keto seller through these checks.

Keto pill red flags, checked against Retride

Real Google and Bing phrases, answered briefly.

do keto pills work for weight loss

Do keto pills work for weight loss?

Not on their own. On a keto diet, people lost about the same on BHB salts as on placebo (Buga et al., 2021).

can i take keto pills without the diet

Can I take Retride without the diet?

Yes, but expect no ketosis. That needs carbs under about 50 g a day (StatPearls, Ketogenic Diet, 2023).

are keto pills safe for diabetics

Are keto pills safe for diabetics?

Ask your doctor. Strict keto with insulin or diabetes pills can cause low blood sugar (StatPearls, Ketogenic Diet, 2023).

keto diet pills from shark tank scam

Was Retride on Shark Tank?

Nothing we have seen links Retride to Shark Tank. Fake Shark Tank claims are a known keto pill scam (FTC Military Consumer, 2023).

bhb salts vs esters

BHB salts vs. esters?

Esters raised blood BHB almost three times higher than salts in one study (Stubbs et al., 2017). Retride uses salts.

retirides

Is Retride the same as Retirides?

No. Retirides and Retriderm are tretinoin skin creams. Retride is a BHB capsule.

FAQ

Retride FAQ: questions people ask

Does Retride really work?

No study has tested the Retride formula. Its BHB salts were studied at 10 to 24 grams a day, while Retride lists 60 mg. Even those big doses added no clear weight loss beyond diet.

What are the ingredients in Retride?

A 60 mg proprietary blend of magnesium, calcium and sodium beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) per 2-capsule serving. The split between the three salts is not published.

How do you take Retride capsules?

Take two capsules once a day with an 8 oz. glass of water, as the label says. Do not take more. Pairing the serving with breakfast makes it easy to remember.

What are the side effects of Retride?

Nobody has studied side effects of Retride itself, and its mineral load is tiny. A strict keto diet can cause keto flu, such as headache and tiredness, in the first weeks.

Is Retride FDA approved?

No. FDA does not clear supplements before they go on sale. The label says Retride comes from an FDA-registered facility: the building is on FDA's list, but the product itself was never reviewed.

Can I take Retride without the keto diet?

Yes, but the capsules will not put you into ketosis on their own. Ketosis starts when carbs drop below about 50 grams a day. The label suggests a 70% fat, 25% protein, 5% carb diet.

Are Retride keto pills safe for diabetics?

Ask your doctor first. The bigger risk is the diet: cutting carbs hard on insulin or diabetes pills may drive blood sugar too low unless the medicine is adjusted.

How much does Retride cost?

The 2-bottle pack is $158 ($79 a bottle), 3 bottles are $207 ($69 each) and 6 bottles are $294 ($49 each). Per day, that works out to $2.63, $2.30 or $1.63. Confirm at checkout.

Is Retride legit or a scam?

Retride is a genuine product: printed label, open prices, a staffed phone line and 60 days to ask for your money back. The honest weak spot is the small dose, not the checkout.

How do I claim a Retride refund?

Phone the order desk on +1 (302) 200-3480 with your order ID before day 60 after purchase. Ship the bottles back by tracked mail and include your full name, email address and order number. Return postage is on you.
