Slimqa ingredients on the panel

The Slimqa ingredients below are copied from the Supplement Facts panel. Serving: 1 sachet (2 g). Servings per box: 30. Calories: 5.

• L-carnitine: 300 mg
• Caffeine: 120 mg (no Daily Value established)
• Curcumin from turmeric extract (Curcuma longa root, 95% curcuminoids): 100 mg

How much of the sachet is what

Two grams is 2,000 mg. The five actives take up just over 620 mg of that:

• L-carnitine, 300 mg: about 15%
• Caffeine, 120 mg: about 6%
• Curcumin, 100 mg: 5%
• Green coffee extract, 100 mg: 5%
• Chromium, 100 mcg: a trace

About L-carnitine

L-carnitine is a nutrient your body also produces from amino acids. At 300 mg it is the biggest single item in each sachet. The maker names it in the "Gentle, Natural Detox Support" point.

About caffeine

Caffeine is the familiar stimulant from coffee and tea. One sachet has 120 mg, a number the label repeats in its warning. Add the sachet to coffee and your cup's caffeine comes on top. The box claim "sustained energy*" sits with it.

About curcumin

Curcumin gives turmeric its yellow colour. Slimqa uses turmeric root extract standardized to 95% curcuminoids, 100 mg per sachet. Black pepper extract appears later on the same panel.

About green coffee extract

This is extract of the green, unroasted bean, marked "(bean)" on the label, 100 mg per sachet. The checkout says green coffee extract, chromium and L-carnitine "help cleanse the body, support liver function, and promote sustainable weight loss without harsh side effects."

About chromium

Chromium is a trace mineral, here as chromium picolinate. 100 mcg per sachet is 286% of the Daily Value, the only active on the panel with a Daily Value figure.

Reading the Daily Value column

The panel has a %DV column. Only chromium shows a figure, 286%. The other four actives carry a dagger symbol, which on the label means a Daily Value has not been established for them. That is normal for ingredients like caffeine, L-carnitine and plant extracts.

Ingredients named on the checkout

In its benefit text, the checkout also mentions Korean ginseng, green tea, cayenne, bitter orange, ginger root, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, berberine and resveratrol, and links each group to one of its five points. The full wording is quoted on how Slimqa works; the amounts per sachet on this page are the ones printed on the Supplement Facts panel.

The four supporting ingredients

They make up the rest of the powder:

Badges and sourcing

The quiz before the checkout shows Vegan, Gluten-Free and No genetic engineering at every step. The checkout says Slimqa is "Formulated with ingredients derived from natural sources" and that "Each batch is crafted to ensure purity and potency, without harmful additives."

Checking for sensitivities

Sensitive to chicory, stevia, black pepper or caffeine? Read the panel before you order. The checkout FAQ is direct about it: "If you are taking medications or have a pre-existing medical condition, it is best to consult your healthcare provider before adding any new supplement to your routine."

The maker's view of the blend

Of its five "SOLUTION" points, the one built on label ingredients reads: "Gentle, Natural Detox Support – Green Coffee Extract, Chromium, and L-Carnitine help cleanse the body, support liver function, and promote sustainable weight loss without harsh side effects." All five are quoted on how Slimqa works.
