What is Slimquick Weight Loss Supplement?
Slimquick weight loss supplement is marketed as “the world’s first and most advanced fat burner for women.” The product claims to contain 6 weight-loss complexes that help reduce fat, speed up metabolism and energy levels, reduce toxins, and assist with the digestive process.
SlimQuick is available in pill and powder formulations, and is sold as “SlimQuick Fat Burner”, “SlimQuick Caffeine Free” and “SlimQuick Razor.”
Recent reports reveal that over 30% of participants in a specific study experienced adverse reactions from SlimQuick, resulting in legal claims.
Slimquick Side Effects and Liver Toxicity
The manufacturers of Slimquick, NxCare, and Wellnx Life Sciences claim that the product provides hormonal balance support and alleviates the symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS).
However, no human trials have been conducted to support these claims, and no other supporting evidence exists.
It contains a significant amount of caffeine, uva ursi, which is toxic in large doses, and EGCG, a substance that has been linked to the following serious side effects:
- Hepatitis
- Kidney damage
- Liver damage
- Acute Liver failure requiring a liver transplant
Liver disease is also a potential risk associated with SlimQuick, with cases of severe symptoms such as jaundice and elevated liver enzyme levels often leading to medical intervention.

Weight Loss Pills Not Subject to FDA Approval
Like all dietary supplements, Slimquick does not require FDA approval to be sold on the U.S. market. As such, some of the ingredients in Slimquick are not approved for human consumption, nor have they been appropriately tested for safety.
When tested on laboratory animals, NxCare and Wellnx determined that EGCG reduced appetite and weight, so they decided to include it as an ingredient in Slimquick.
Unfortunately, it has recently been found that not only does EGCG not always work in humans, but it has also been linked to numerous cases of kidney and liver damage.
Slim Quick Case Study by Wellnx Life Sciences
In April 2012, a case study [1] published in the World Journal of Hepatology linked green tea extract, an ingredient contained in SlimQuick, to a case of liver injury sustained by a 24-year-old woman. According to the report, a component of green tea extract is EGCG, a substance that has been linked to liver toxicity.
The patient presented to her doctor with symptoms including dark urine, alcoholic stools, right upper body pain, and fatigue.
She reported ingesting 2 SlimQuick tablets orally on an empty stomach twice daily for 3 months to train for a marathon. The researchers concluded that the patient’s use of SlimQuick was the likely cause of her liver damage.
In addition to EGCG, Slimquick contains uva ursi (Arctostaphylos uva ursi, also known as Bearberry). One of the substances in uva ursi, hydroquinone, has been linked to liver damage.
It should only be used for short periods—no longer than 5 days at a time. However, SlimQuick labels claim the supplement can be used for up to 16 weeks.
