Slimquick Appetite Control Drink
Slimquick, a company that is trying very hard to be the exclusive face of women’s weight loss, offers a caffeine-free solution to hunger which is meant to help in 6 different ways:
1. Promotes a longer feeling of fullness
2. Reduces appetite
3. Provides fiber
4. Provides protein
5. Improves digestion
6. Provides “prebiotics”
Now, forgive my criticism, but the first two are kind of saying the same thing. 3, 5, and 6 are also aiming at the same effect. Anyway, as for what they actually have to offer:
Folic acid – 200 mcg
Chromium – 300 mcg
Proprietary blend – 12.2 grams:
- Whey protein
- Inulin
- Synetrim
- Fenugreek
- Astralagus
- Tribulus
- Magnolia
- Lilac
- Goat’s rue
- Jojoba
- Phellodendron
- Eurycoma longifolia
- Rice bran
- Ginseng
- Chasteberry
Does the formula live up to the 6 (3) claims?
1. As for protein, yes there’s protein, but there’s no telling how much (can’t be more than 12 grams – a pretty low dose) given the “proprietary blend”. Protein is good, but not always related to weight loss and definitely not hunger control (unless eating protein is hunger control).
2. As for digestive health (fiber, “prebiotics”, etc.) it is true that rice bran (fiber) and inulin may help keep things flowing and better-digested, but most of these ingredients are not directly related to digestive health in that sense. Using the made-up term “prebiotics” is meant to make you think there are probiotic bacteria to help your digestion. No such ingredients are found here, just more random herbs.
3. Lastly, regarding the main purpose of the product (appetite suppression), there is not a lot here that is proven to affect appetite directly. As well, some ingredients like tribulus and eurycoma longifolia are typically used for their supposed increase of testosterone – not necessarily what a woman wants.
The “Appetite Control” Bottom Line
Basically, I am not convinced that this product will really reduce your appetite significantly any more than a placebo (which might explain some of the great reviews). The ingredients are not all focused even on the purposes that they list as “beneficial effects” and at $40 it is slightly over-priced. I don’t recommend this product.
