In previous parts, we discussed the original Slimquick formula, and the Slimquick Extreme formula. We also briefly discussed the Slimquick Hoodia formula, which contains only 4 ingredients - with the two main active ingredients being Hoodia Gordonii and green tea extract.
We looked in detail the various ingredients contained in each of the diet pills, and also reviewed the active ingredients in Slim quick extreme that are not used in the original formula. The original slimquick formula is based on several key complexes, each with different ingredients. These complexes included the thermogenic complex containing several caffeine stimulant ingredients, hormone balance complex, cortifem complex, and the water removal complex which contains several ingredients that are diuretics.
The slimquick extreme formula shared some common ingredients, but also included a list of unique ingredients that's not contained in the original formulation. Some of these active ingredients include: pu-erh tea, theobromine, sesame extract, raspberry ketone, guggulsterones, and evodiamine. We also discussed these ingredients in some detail.
In the Slim quick cleanse version, as the name suggests, it is designed to cleanse and eliminate toxins from your body - so its formula contains ingredients that are targeted to helping you cleanse your body. We'll review some of these ingredients below. If you have used any of these Slimquick diet pills, please share your review of it here.
Does Slim Quick Cleanse for Women Work
First, a list of the Slim quick cleanse ingredients.
So, does slim quick clean work? Looking through the ingredients list, you'll recognize some familiar ingredients that are used in both original Slimquick and Slim quick extreme diet pills (green tea, vitex agnus castus, dandelion) - so we won't be discussing these here. However, designed as a cleanse product, Slimquick cleanse for women also includes ingredients which provide various health benefits, and help the body eliminate toxins. Some of these ingredients include Glucomannan, Senna extract, ginseng extract, lactospore, milk thistle extract, artichoke, cranberry, fennel, ginger, and several others.
Glucomannan is a food additive, and commonly used as a thickener. It has been used in asia in traditional foods such as tofu, noodles, and heat stable gelled foods. It does not dissolve in water. Instead, it forms a gel when mixed with a liquid. It does not get digested by the body, so it is passed through the digestive system. There are various health benefits of Glucomannan that have been studied. It has been found to be helpful in treating obesity, helps lower cholesterol, helps treat constipation, and may also be beneficial in treating diabetes.
Glucomannan is high in fiber, which makes it very beneficial for the digestive system. Glucomannan provides a host of benefits for the digestive system, and has been found to help alleviate constipation in adults and children. It comes from the Konnyaku root (Konjac), which is grown in China, Japan, and Korea. It is often used in different foods in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cuisine.

Senna Extract is used in medicine as a laxative. It has been widely used in herbalism and folk medicine. Senna acts on the lower bowel, and is especially useful in alleviating constipation. Sennas are still used as the primary ingredient in certain commercial stimulant laxatives. Senna is also the primary ingredient found in most "dieter's teas". The combination of acting as a stimulant which reduces a dieter's appetite, and the laxative properties that cause food to move through their system before as many calories can be absorbed is a combination that can lead to rapid and even dangerous weight loss. [1] Thus far, it looks like Slimquick Cleanse includes several ingredients that act as laxatives that also have some benefits for the digestive system.
Ginseng is a staple of traditional herbal medicine. It is considered to be one of the most powerful of medicinal herbs-improving one's circulatory system and enhancing the body's metabolism. Numerous books, articles and research herald ginseng as an "adaptogen" and nontoxic substance that helps the body to adapt to stress. Researchers have isolated certain plant compounds called saponins which are believed to be the reason for ginseng's adaptogenic properties. Read more details about Ginseng Extract here.
Lactospore (Lactobacillus sporogenes) is a bacterial species that is now known as Bacillus coagulans. When it was first isolated in 1932, it was known as Lactobacillus sporogenes, but in 1939, it was reclassified as Bacillus coagulans. However, the name Lactobacillus sporogenes is still used in some commercial products today.
Bacillus coagulans is a lactic acid forming bacterial species within the genus Bacillus. It is used in veterinary applications as a probiotic for pigs and shrimp. [2] There are also clinical studies involving human subjects that have found bacillus coagulans to have various health benefits including improving abdominal pain and bloating, relieving IBS symptoms, and lowers cholesterol levels.

Probiotics, which can normalize gastrointestinal microflora, may alleviate symptoms of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). This was a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 44 subjects who received either placebo or bacillus coagulans once a day for 8 weeks. Self-assessments of the severity of IBS symptoms (abdominal pain and bloating) were recorded every day for 8 weeks. The study results found significant improvements in abdominal pain and bloating in the bacillus coagulans group. They concluded that bacillus coagulans probiotic may be a safe and effective option for the relief of abdominal pain and bloating for patients with IBS. [3]
In another study, the short term hypolipidemic effect of Lactobacillus sporogenes was evaluated on 17 patients with hyperlipidemia (high levels of lipids in bloodstream such as cholesterol). The study found that total serum cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were reduced significantly over a period of three months. HDL-cholesterol (good cholesterol) was marginally increased. [4]
Medical use of milk thistle can be traced back more than 2,000 years. Nicholas Culpeper, the well-known 17th-century pharmacist, cited its use for opening "obstructions" of the liver and spleen and recommended it for the treatment of jaundice. Milk Thistle has been used in connection with alcohol-related liver disease, Hepatitis, Liver cirrhosis, Gallstones.
Milk thistle extract is most commonly recommended to counteract the harmful actions of alcohol on the liver. Double-blind trials indicate that it helps the liver return to a healthy state once a person stops drinking. Some trials suggest it may improve quality of life and even life expectancy in people with liver cirrhosis. Read more about Milk Thistle Extract here.
Slimquick cleanse should only be taken for at most 7 days. Each bottle of Slimquick Cleanse contains 56 capsules, which is just enough for 2 servings per day, lasting 7 days. The manufacturer recommends using the original Slimquick for women diet pill beyond the initial 7 days. You can read the review of slimquick here. Before starting slimquick cleanse, you should read the entire label carefully, and follow the directions.
Instead of spending money on another diet pill, why not spend much less and learn the true method of long term, healthy weight loss that will lead to permanent weight loss results.
