SlimQuick is a dietary supplement intended to promote weight loss in women. According to the product manufacturer, SlimQuick can be three times more effective than dieting alone. Despite the potential benefits of using SlimQuick, you should note that side effects, such as dizziness, may occur with regular use. Consult a doctor prior to using SlimQuick or any other dietary supplements.
SlimQuick Supplement Facts
SlimQuick offers a number of ingredients purported to promote an increase in your metabolic rate as well as weight loss. Among these ingredients are caffeine, green tea extract and brown seaweed. SlimQuick also contains several vitamins and minerals: vitamins B6, B12, D and K, folate and calcium. SlimQuick does not list the amount of any of the herbal ingredients or caffeine, so use caution when using this product and do not combine it with other products that contain caffeine.
SlimQuick and Dizziness
You may experience dizziness for several reasons when taking SlimQuick. First, SlimQuick is meant to be taken in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise routine, so physical exertion -- especially if you are not used to intense exercise -- on a low calorie diet may leave you dizzy and fatigued. In addition, dizziness is a common side effect associated with caffeine use. Lastly, SlimQuick is designed to eliminate water from your body to help reduce your weight; this could lead to dehydration, which might also make you dizzy.
Other Potential Side Effects
Dizziness is not the only potential side effect of SlimQuick use. Nausea, irritability and nervousness are also associated with consumption of caffeine. In addition, the amino acid theanine may cause headaches, and the herbal extract rhodiola may cause insomnia. Large doses of vitamin B6 -- one serving of SlimQuick provides twice the daily recommended intake -- may also cause nerve damage. (See References 3, 4, 5 and 6)
Potential Effectiveness
While SlimQuick dose have potential side effects, it may help you lose weight. Research from the January 2011 issue of "The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry" suggests that green tea and caffeine may aid in weight loss. In addition, a study from the January 2010 edition of the "International Journal of Obesity" found that calcium intake could promote weight loss, but the dosage in the study was 1,500 mg daily, which is 10 times the amount in SlimQuick.
