Update 1/20/20. Slim Trim U is touted as a “new solution” for losing weight “without excessive exercise in the gym” that will “swiftly reshape your body so that your trim figure from yesteryear can shine through.” As an added bonus, they also say that you'll get this with “No pain”. “No surgery” and “No risk.”
That is just some of the benefits said about the bee pollen supplement, Slim Trim U, on the Floyd Nutrition website, one of the distributors of this product. But, is Slim Trim U really a “new solution?” And does it have “no risks”? Hopefully, this review gives you a better understanding of Slim Trim U is and whether it's right for you.
Slim Trim U ingredients
According to the Floyd Nutrition website, Slim Trim U has these ingredients:
- Bee pollen
- Chinese yam
- Barbary Wolfberry fruit
- Lotus seed
- Dietary fiber
Other ingredients in Slim Trim U include
- Green tea
- Rhubarb
- Aloe
- Astragalus
- Polygonum Multiflorum
- Lotus Leaf
- Gynostemma
- Radish Seed
- Malt
- Mulberry
- Hawthorn
- Vitamins
I noticed that we are not told how much of each of these ingredients is in Slim Trim U. This makes analyzing any studies on the individual ingredients difficult. In other words, studies may use different amounts of the ingredients that are in Slim Trim U. As such, positive studies of Slim Trim U ingredients may not be “proof” that Slim Trim U itself also works.
Slim Trim U Weight Loss Proof
Now I want to go through each ingredient in Slim Trim U. I will search for each ingredient in the National Library of Medicine to see if there is any proof that any of these ingredients might help people lose weight. Let's start with the 4 main ingredients first.
1. Bee Pollen
Bee pollen has zero evidence it helps people lose weight. If bee pollen really helped people lose weight, how come I can't find a single study ―in humans or lab animals ―that bee pollen works? I challenge ANY bee pollen weight loss supplement reseller/distributor to show me the proof I seek. On websites, it's said that bee pollen raises metabolism (how fast we burn calories) however, I can't find any proof of this.
Tip. It's worth mentioning that metabolism increases slightly after we eat anything. The metabolism-raising effect of digesting food does not burn many calories though. Maybe only 5% of the calories used in an average day come from digesting/processing food.
2. Chinese Yam
Also called, Dioscorea alata. There is no evidence that Chinese Yam helps people lose weight. On the Floyd Nutrition website, they say that one of the benefits of Chinese yam is increased metabolism. If that's true, why can't I find any proof of this? Some websites also claim that another benefit of Chinese yam is “anti-aging properties.” I can't find any proof of this either.
3. Barbary Wolfberry Fruit
Also called Lycium barbarum as well as Goji, Goji berry and Lychee among many other names. In a small study published in 2011 titled Lycium barbarum increases caloric expenditure and decreases waist circumference in healthy overweight men and women: pilot study, it was noted that 120 ml (4 oz) of Lycium barbarum appeared to increase resting metabolic rate by about 10% over that of a placebo as well as decreased waist circumference after 14 days of use.
This is interesting however it was a small study (only about 15 people in each group) and the makers of Slim Trim U do not tell us how much Lycium barbarum it contains.
I see no evidence that Barbary Wolfberry increases testosterone levels.
There are many goji berry products on Amazon. I've linked to a product that is a liquid for those who want to try to replicate the results of the study above.
4. Lotus Seed
Also called, Nelumbo nucifera. I can't find any weight loss studies ever conducted on Lotus seed.
So, for the 4 main ingredients in Slim Trim U, it looks like the only ingredient with any proof is Barbary Wolfberry fruit ―and that proof is based on a single human study that involved only about 30 people.
Other ingredients in Slim Trim U
Now let's look at the weight loss evidence for the other ingredients in Slim Trim U
Green tea
Green tea is in a lot of weight loss products so I won't rehash it here other than to say that green tea does have some caffeine. Is caffeine the “secret sauce” in green tea as far as weight loss is concerned? I'm not sure. Some research that combines green tea and caffeine notes that green tea ―alone ―doesn't appear to help people lose weight.
Is there any caffeine in Slim Trim U? I don't know. I am all for drinking green tea (here is one of my favorites!), but as for green tea weight loss supplements, I think better research needs to be done before anybody can know for sure. Other products that contain green tea I've already reviewed include:
Rhubarb
Also called Rheum Officinale. While Rhubarb itself appears to have no weight loss proof, I did locate a small study in rats, titled Effect of an herbal extract Number Ten (NT) on body weight in rats. This was a study of a Chinese herbal supplement called Number Ten, which contained several ingredients, one of which was rhubarb.
Aloe
Aloe can have a laxative effect. For more on aloe, see my reviews of :
- Vemma (see review)
- Colon Flow (see review)
- Astragalus
I saw no studies conducted on Astragalus as it pertained to weight loss.
Polygonum Multiflorum
Also called many names including Fo Ti and Chinese Knotweed. This herb can act as a laxative.
Lotus Leaf
The scientific name for this herb is Nelumbo nucifera. Searching the National Library of Medicine for:
- Lotus leaf obesity
- Lutus leaf weight loss
- Nelumbo nucifera obesity
- Nelumbo nucifera weight loss
Revealed a test tube study titled Chemical constituents from Nelumbo nucifera leaves and their anti-obesity effects, several extracts from lotus were found to inhibit fat cell growth and inhibit pancreatic lipase, an enzyme that breaks down fats. Theoretically, this might mean some constituent parts of lotus might help weight loss.
In a rat study published in 2010 titled Antiobesity and hypolipidemic effects of lotus leaf hot water extract with taurine supplementation in rats fed a high-fat diet, lotus leaf and taurine appeared to help rats from gaining weight that was fed a high-fat diet. How much was due to lotus leaf or taurine is not known.
Gynostemma
The science name for Gynostemma is Gynostemma pentaphyllum. According to a review at WebMd, another name for this herb is jiaogulan. In a 2012 study titled Heat-processed Gynostemma pentaphyllum extract improves obesity in ob/ob mice by activating AMP-activated protein kinase, an extract of Gynostemma (called actiponin) appeared to help mice lose weight. I can't find any human weight loss evidence.
Radish Seed
The scientific name for radishes is Raphanus sativus. I can't locate any weight loss studies on radishes or radish seeds.
Malt
Malt might add some fiber to Slim Trim U. I can't find any weight loss studies on malt.
Mulberry
The scientific name for Mulberry is Morus nigra. Mulberry may be a mild laxative due to its fiber content.
Hawthorn
The scientific name for hawthorn is Crataegus monogyna. I honestly don't know why hawthorn keeps popping up in bee pollen weight loss supplements because it does nothing for weight loss. I can't find a single study showing that hawthorn helps people lose weight.
Hawthorn can alter the way the heart pumps and this might be a problem for people with heart disease. I think this is important because Slim Trim U (like most weight loss supplements) is being marketed to overweight people, some of whom may have heart problems. Hawthorn is listed last in the ingredients list and that probably means there is not a lot of it in Slim Trim U. Still, I don't feel this is an appropriate ingredient.
Slim Trim U is also said to have some vitamins, but they don't tell us which vitamins it has. This makes discussing those vitamins impossible. It doesn't matter, though, because vitamins don't help people lose weight.
Ingredients With Weight Loss Proof
Here is a summary of the 5 main ingredients in Slim Trim U that have weight loss research. I've also summarized the nature of that research (mouse vs. people vs. test tube studies).
- Barbary wolfberry fruit. 1 small human study.
This is the only main ingredient in Slim Trim U with any published weight loss evidence.
Other ingredients with weight loss evidence
- Green tea. Conflicting human evidence
- Lotus Leaf. Test tube and rat studies
- Gynostemma. Mouse study
Slim Trim U vs. ZXT Gold
Now let's compare the ingredients in Slim Trim U to ZXT Gold, another weight loss product you may have heard of. The ingredients are listed in order as they appeared on the Floyd Nutrition website. The main ingredients are in blue.
|
Slim Trim U |
ZXT Gold |
| Bee pollen | Bee pollen |
| Chinese yam | Chinese yam |
| Barbary wolfberry fruit | Green tea |
| Lotus seed | Lotus seed |
| Dietary fiber | Dietary fiber |
| Green tea | |
| Rhubarb | |
| Aloe | |
| Astragalus | |
| Polygonum multiflorum | |
| Gynostemma | |
| Radish seed | |
| Malt | |
| Mulberry | |
| Hawthorn | |
| Vitamins |
Notice that the 5 main ingredients in Slim Trim U are almost identical to ZXT Gold. For more info, see my ZXT Gold review.
Slim Trim U vs. Zi Xiu Tang
Now let's compare the ingredients in Slim Trim U to Zi Xiu Tang, a bee pollen weight loss supplement that was sold before either Slim Trim U or ZXT Gold. The ingredients are listed in order as they appear on the Floyd Nutrition website. The main ingredients are in blue. For more information see my Zi Xiu Tang review.
|
Slim Trim U |
Zi Xiu Tang |
| Bee pollen | Bee pollen |
| Chinese yam | Chinese yam |
| Barbary wolfberry fruit | Barbary wolf berry fruit |
| Lotus seed | Lotus seed |
| Dietary fiber | Dietary fiber |
| Green tea | Green tea |
| Rhubarb | Rhubarb |
| Aloe | Aloe |
| Astragalus | Cassia |
| Polygonum multiflorum | Astrigillis |
| Gynostemma | Polygonum multiflorum |
| Radish seed | Lotus leaf |
| Malt | Gynostemme |
| Mulberry | Radish seed |
| Hawthorn | Malt |
| Vitamins | Mulberry |
| Hawthorn | |
| Vitamins |
As can be seen, both supplements share a lot of similar ingredients. In fact, if you look closely, Slim Trim U has almost all of the listed ingredients as in Zi Xi Tang. The only difference is that some of the ingredients are ordered differently in the list.
Now that I have shown you how similar Slim Trim U is to both ZXT Gold and Zi Xiu Tang, the question we have to ask ourselves is, how is Slim Trim U any different than these other products?
I'm sure some will say that the arrangement of ingredients makes Slim Trim U better, but I don't agree with this argument. The weight loss evidence for all of the Slim Trim U ingredients is weak at best with only one ingredient having a human study. If Slim Trim U is going to work, I think the only possible way it could help is by acting as a laxative.
Laxative Ingredients in Slim Trim U
Below are the ingredients in Slim Trim U that I feel might act as a laxative
- Aloe
- Polygonum Multiflorum
- Mulberry
Slim Trim U Side Effects
People allergic to bee pollen should avoid Slim Trim U.
Women with breast cancer should be cautious with Chinese yam. Some test-tube studies hint that Chinese yam may act like estrogen.
Polygonum Multiflorum and liver problems have been reported several times.
According to a review on Gynostemma at WebMd, this herb may be linked to birth defects. This herb also may interact with blood thinner medications.
People who took Slim Trim U and left comments on my review of ZXT Gold also reported these side effects:
| Diarrhea | Forcing themselves to eat | Chest pain | Dry skin |
| Dry mouth /cotton mouth | Needing less sleep / insomnia | Short of breath | Anxiety |
| “just don't feel right” | Altered taste for soda (not liking soda anymore) | Sharp pain in left arm | Sores on tongue |
| Feel “high/drunk” | Elevated blood pressure | Exhaustion | Loss of taste for fruit flavors |
| Moodiness | Rapid heart rate | Lightheadedness | Increased sex drive |
| Horrible nausea | Irregular heart rate | Blurred vision |
The strange thing is that people sometimes report side effects after several weeks of taking Slim Trim U. Why? I can only speculate. Could it take time for whatever is causing the side effects to build up in the body? Is it possible that some packages of Slim Trim U do not contain the ingredient/ingredients responsible for the side effects, while others do? Again, I am not sure. I present these side effects to give people a place to see what others have experienced.
The other strange thing is that looking at the ingredients in Slim Trim U, I can't find studies noting that the ingredients cause these weird side effects. This leaves open the possibility that 2 things might be going on:
1. The unique blend of ingredients in Slim Trim U leads to the strange side effects.
Or
2. There is something else in Slim Trim U that is not listed on the label.
As I reported in my ZXT Gold review, Canadian health officials have identified 2 hidden pharmaceutical drugs in this bee pollen weight loss supplement.
In the US, the FDA has likewise found evidence that Zi Xiu Tang contained a hidden weight-loss drug called sibutramine. The company that makes Zi Xiu Tang (Guangzhou Zixiutang Biotechnology company) is the same company that makes Slim Trim U.
The FDA has likewise found evidence sibutramine in other weight loss supplements such as:
- Hokkaido weight loss pills (also see my (also see my review of Hokkaido pills)
In fact, according to this FDA video, the FDA has found hidden weight loss ingredients in over 100 different supplements.
Update: Slim Trim U Contains Hidden Drug Ingredient
On 5/5/14 the FDA alerted the public that it found Sibutramine in Slim Trim U.
What is Sibutramine?
Sibutramine (also called Meridia) is an illegal weight loss drug that was taken off the US market because of an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Some of the side effects of sibutramine do sound a lot like some of the strange Slim Trim U side effects people have reported to me. Some of those side effects include:
| Headache | Dry mouth | Back pain |
| Nervousness | Difficulty falling asleep | Fast heart rate |
| Chest pain | Nausea | Anxiety |
| Lightheadedness | Skin rash | Flu-like symptoms |
See the Sibutramine drug page for more all of the side effects.
Who makes Slim Trim U?
Various independent resellers sell Slim Trim U. When I posted the question “Who makes Slim Trim U” on the Facebook page of one of these distributors, I was told that Floyd Nutrition makes Slim Trim U. However, Floyd Nutrition is basically a warehouse in Harrisburg Pa. There are no laboratory facilities at this location that I am aware of. Even on one of their websites, Floyd states that they are a “distributor” of Slim Trim U. So, they don't make it.
The Floyd Nutrition website says that Guangzhou Zixiutang Biotechnology Company, LTD makes Slim Trim U. This is the same company that produces Zi Xiu Tang bee pollen weight loss supplements. Let's now take a look at the Guangzhou company…
Guangzhou Zixiutang Biotechnology Company
The name Guangzhou Zixiutang Biotechnology conjures up images that this company is a huge pharmaceutical facility that does biotechnology research. But at their website, cn-zixiutang.com there are no pictures of the building. Why?
On the Contact page of their website, they list this address:
“11 Fuli Buliding, Pearl River New town, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China 510500.”
If you look closely, you will see the word building is spelled wrong.
Also, The building name appears like it is spelled wrong also. The website gives the address as “11 Fuli” but if you try to Google “11 Fuli Building” and look at the Google images for this location, you see pictures of ladies' handbags!
If, on the other hand, you Google “11 Fuji building” and look at the images, then you will see buildings. But which building is it? The most common building I saw was a strange-looking structure, which,
This is the Fuji Television building in Tokyo, Japan. Japan? But the ZiXiuTang Biotechnology company is supposed to be in China!
The location of the Guangzhou Zixiutang Biotechnology company cannot be located.
With over 1 billion people in China, how come nobody appears to have ever snapped a picture of the Guangzhou Zixiutang Biotechnology company? If anybody has a picture of this company, please let me know, and I will gladly update this review.
Does Slim Trim U work?
In this review, I've tried to point out that, Slim Trim U is nothing new. It's just a re-shuffling of the same ingredients that are found in other bee pollen weight loss products. To me, it just looks basically like the same ingredients with a different name on the bottle.
With the exception of a single, small human study on one of the ingredients, I see no proof that Slim Trim U helps people lose weight. Given that the FDA has found that the supplement contains sibutramine explain how it worked. Based on that, you should speak to your physician before using this supplement.
This sounds like the product Bee Thin if you google it you will see. It’s a new product name label with same ingredients. By the way Slim Trim U is back on the market for sale.
Virgina, thanks for the heads up on Slim Trim U. Since bee pollen does nothing for weight loss, I’d recommend avoiding all products that tout its wt loss effects.
My 16 year old daughter ordered slim trim without my knowledge. When I tried to call them to get help canceling the order, they hung up the phone on me 8 times in 2 days.
Believe me, I was actually being nice since I know you get more bees with honey. Was at my wits end.
Eventually I managed to find a nice lady who helped me, thank god! It is disgusting to me that they can even get away with selling a product that contains an illegal ingredient.
This is my child I am worried about and when I explained the situation they didn’t care, they didn’t listen. They hung up or put me on hold for an hour when I asked to speak to a manager.
I had to eventually hang up myself. What a disgrace this company is. Before you rant about how great it is, think about your gullible teenage daughters PLEASE.
Lisa, oh my goodness! Do you mind telling the name of the company that hung up on you? I’ll understand if you rather not.
You can file a report with better business Bureau also.
I have been taking this for about a month and I lost 20 lbs. I bought me and my daughter another bottle we’ll, my blood pressure has been going up and I have very low blood pressure normally, but my heart rate has been 100 my daughters blood pressure is 160/102 which really scares me since her Dad has congestive heart failure and she has his genes.
I got real nervous and it didn’t work like a laxative it was like the opposite it constipated me. I was always dry mouth. I’m 62 years old and really need to lose weight and it was really working but having a heart attack isn’t worth it.
Linda, I recommend both you and your daughter stop taking Slim Trim U immediately. The FDA found that slim trim U had an undisclosed illegal weight loss drug that probably is the reason for the side effects you both were experiencing. Ive linked to that finding in my review. You are right, having a heart attack is not worth it.
Here is a link to my personal website where I discuss the different types of weight loss supplements along with those that I feel are the safest. I discuss other things that can help too. Don’t just rely on a weight loss supplement. If they are going to work, they are best used in conjunction with other healthy things. I know the marketing for these types of products is very powerful however I know that by themselves, none of them will work for the long term.
http://www.joe-cannon.com/what-weight-loss-supplements-work/
Well, Joe, you were right about the sibutramine. The FDA just released a statement last week specifically naming Floyd’s Slim Trim U and warning against it’s use. Coincidentally all the links to purchase it on Floyd’s website are now broken.
It’s amazing, you knew this so long ago. You have my utmost respect.
I had read articles that suggested it might contain sibutramine, I had also been personally contacted by people warning me and I always refused to believe it, or at least refused to take it seriously. However, I admit that I have an eating disorder so I would imagine that skews my perception.
For me, Slim Trim U made it so easy to maintain anorexia. It completely eliminated my need for will power and that’s all I worried about, I didn’t care how dangerous it was. In the past week I have went through feelings that almost compare to the mental process of dealing with tragedy… denial, anger, and now I might be feeling acceptance.
I read a lot of articles on supplement geek about many of floyd’s products years ago and I feel so overwhelmingly stupid for not listening to you back then.
Admin, no worries, stuff happens. Believe me, I’m just glad you are OK from taking it. I was not aware of the FDA finding sibutramine in slim trim u and so I DO appreciate you telling me about this. I’ll be updating my review with the FDA warning.
Anorexia is very challenging to deal with especially if we feel we are alone. I want you to know you are not alone and so I do hope you seek out people who can help you. We are all in this life together and with a little help, we will be ok…
Ppl r actually promoting for purchase on Instagram now this is actually what lead me to here as I was researching to c if It was a good product. Needless to say I’ll pass. Thanks ur article and research was very informative
Tia, thanks for the info and I’m glad to help!
hey joe i have been taking slim trim u for 2 months and yes with the dry mouth i have an increased sex drive, however i am not complaining about that. i have lost 10 pounds so far and i am starting to get my appetite back and loosing my sex drive again so i emailed them, floyd nutrition, and am advised to take something stronger called infinity. I like the product slim trim u i hope infinity works the same
Heather, do you think your sex drive increased because you are losing weight or do you think slim trim U is directly having an effect on sex drive? I personally have reservations about these types of products because of what Ive seen in other products. if it works let me know. I didn’t see Infinity listed when I checked Floyds website. I hope it helps you. Do keep me posted.
I love the slim trim u and it does work.. I was very happy it is back.. My only problem is it doesn’t matter how early I take it, I still have trouble sleeping at night. It’s like I never get in a deep sleep. any thoughts?
Missy, honestly, Im not sure why you can sleep well when you take Slim Trim U. Anybody else having the same side effect?
I am starting slim trim u. 5 days I have went from 268 to 256. I recently had a baby and I am trying to lose the 80 lbs I gained during my pregnancy. I have insane insomnia. I am normally a light sleeper and a person who can barely sleep as is. Now I am sleeping 3 hours a night. I have cotton mouth but that doesn’t bother me. I just wish I could actually sleep. Now I eat healthy and work out.. So I’m not losing this weight just sitting around.
Erin, you lost 12 pounds in 5 days? I know that the 12 pounds is mostly (about 99%) water weight but still, that is a lot of weight to drop so fast. Know this this wont continue at this rate.
I can honestly say it is not water weight. I have been losing weight for 5 months. A total of 72 lbs.
I thought you said you were using it for 5 days. thats why I suggested it was water.
Correct. Sorry i didn’t explain further. I have been battling with weight loss all my life. Before I got pregnant I lost 60lbs on zxt gold. Then I got pregnant and gained a ton of weight. I started losing weight as soon as I had my son. In 4 months I lost 60 lbs. for the past month I have been stuck between 270 & 260. I decided to try the slim trim u because I heard all good things. Within 5 days I was down 12 lbs. I feel like it is incredible since I have been stuck for a month. I love bee pollen products. The only thing I hate is my insomnia.
Erin, I am happy for you. I just want you to try to be aware of your body if you keep taking them. I cant find any good proof that any of those ingredients help weight loss, except maybe being a laxative. the FDA alerts on similar products just make me very uneasy.
I have been feeling real sick. .and soar throat…headache…blurred vision…shortness of breath. I took this months ago and lost 20 lbs in 2 months and did not have the side effects. It seems they keep changing the pills though…this slim trim u are the green n white pills and it says tester on the bottle.
My supplier said that was no big deal…but I have to stop them..the nausea is out of control. Please be careful with what you put in your body.
Shay, I hope you feel better and I agree, be careful what you put in your body.
Shay, I used this summer of 2013 and had great results. I recently bought a bottle from Floyd’s Nutrition and first 2 days nothing. No side effects. 3rd day heart was racing out of my chest, hot, dizzy, felt really messed up, felt like i could pass out. The next day I only took 1 and felt the same way, but not as extreme.
Today, I didn’t take any. Throughout the day my head felt a little funny but finally feeling like myself now. Is this formula different than before? Is anyone else having these side effects? I love STU but feeling like this isn’t worth it.
I am very disappointed. Not sure if I should give it another chance in a few days. I definitely can’t be feeling like this while I’m at work.
Hi Joe I had started taking the slim trim u back in the fall of 2013 and I slowly lost my weight. It did decrease my appetite, but I never had any energy. None whatsoever! Over the summer they took the product away; and I couldn’t understand why. I would find it on ebay, but people were raising there prices so high on the product.
Do you know why it was suddenly taken away? I emailed floyd nutrition, but they never told me why, and they said they have something that works just like it called zxt etreme. Well I ordered it, and it has not worked for me at all. If anything its has made me extremely constipated. I even stopped taking it for a couple of months, and started up again; and ended up with the same results…extreme constipation!
Rocky, while I cant know for sure, if you re-read my review you may get an idea of my opinion why its not carried anymore.
hey rocky slim trim u is available now it was took off the market because of counter fitters . I read an email the company that produces this product sent the supplier that I get my slim trim u from a couple weeks ago and I just got my new order this past Saturday and I can tell you this joe and if rocky took slim trim u he knows it really does work.
I posted my first 2 weeks progress on this review and joe gave negative comments so I quit reporting until I just decided to look and see if any one else had wrote about slim trim u .this is my 5th week I just started my second bottle this week and I have lost 26 pounds and I feel great .
I know a lot of people that is now on it and are losing weight but every one has different side effects the worst for me is craving cranberry juice and hamburger’s go figure I sleep about 5 hours and wake up ready to go feeling good . I have dry mouth a lot but its not that bad some people I know say they have dry mouth bad and drink a lot of water. any way it does work and its not just losing water weight if so my 26 pounds should have drown me.
Daniel, believe me my goal is to not be negative. I am glad you are losing weight but those ingredients shouldn’t work. That’s not to say it isn’t working. I believe you when you say you have lost weight, but the weight loss doesn’t make sense given the ingredients that are listed. So if they dont work, whats causing the weight loss?
well in my case its not eating as much I don’t stay hungry and for some reason most of the time other than wanting hamburgers at lunch I crave tomato soup and grilled salmon and vegetables for supper and at breakfast I eat a sandwich on toast or bun and I am full .
before I would eat 3 full course meals a day and still was hungry and what I would eat would not be as healthy as what I eat now its like I want different foods now I don’t eat French fries any more I just don’t even want them .
I have been taking the slim trim u tester for one week today I have lost 10 pounds in 7 days I have occasional slight dry mouth but not bad and am a little sore on my left side at my heart that worries me besides that I feel great and actually have energy. and I am waking up on time and getting right out of bed before I just could not wake up and get motivated .I will post an update next week for week 2.looking forward to commits on this
Daniel, pain on the left side of your chest concerns me. Did it start after you started taking slim trim u? I recommend you see your doctor about that and let me know what happens.
ok on my second week of slim trim u I lost 5 pounds this makes a total of 15 pounds in 2 weeks I feel great I have energy I sleep better and I can lay flat now without hearing myself wheezing and actually crave healthy foods and can only eat about half the amounts I use to eat .this really works
Daniel, While I am glad you are having good results with no side effects, Im pretty sure water made up some of that 15 lbs. I dont think you lost 15 pounds of fat. Im saying that because I dont want you to get disappointed if the weight loss slows down, which is likely to happen pretty soon.
I actually tried these 2 every morning when first waking up. This is the only diet product that has ever worked for me. After only a few days I completely lost my appetite. I lost 32 pounds in 30 days of taking this, I would buy 2 more bottles to finish my weight loss if I could find them. I did have some unpleasant side effects but it was worth it to no longer look obese. I only need to lose another 25-30 pounds and it would really help if I could find these again.
John, losing 32 pounds in 30 days does not sound healthy to me. I do hope you are exercising and watching what you eat as this will help you lose those extra pounds you want to lose. what were the unpleasant side effects you had with Slim Trim U?
Great review! I wish I would have seen this post before I purchased this product. This is my first time trying a diet supplement as I have always feared the side effects but a friend assured me its all natural and works. WRONG!
I have been taking this product for almost three weeks (two times a day) and haven’t lost one pound. The only thing I have noticed is the laxative, dry mouth, and decreased hunger (the decrease in appetite is not what I was looking for to lose weight. I don’t think starving yourself is healthy.) Furthermore, I didn’t eat more than one time a day usually anyways and was told to eat more to lose weight.
So since I didn’t see any results in two weeks I stop taking the pills. Now it has been two days since taking these pills and have craved everything in sight or in other words I have been eating like a pig. WASTE OF MONEY!
Tra’C, sorry that happened to you but happy you eventually found my review.
I’ve taken slimtrim u i started to take it for 2 weeks and then i started getting chest pains as well and after the 2 weeks i had a little blood in my urine.
thinking this was the problem i stopped for 2 weeks and no blood and took them again just to try to make sure that wasnt what it was, and surely enough 4 days later i spotted when i urinated again and haven’t taken them since – and here’s the kicker, I didnt lose one pound, ate less walked 3 miles to work everyday and actually gained 3 lbs in the process….
Crystal, sorry that happened to you! The good news is that you are ok now.
I have been taking it for a lil over two months and yes I lost over 40lbs . However, I am writing this review sick in my bed. I am light-headed, nauseated, headaches, and elevated blood pressure. I had to go to the emergency room because it was so bad.
These pills are not worth the problems they are causing me. I will also like to know how after I stop taking these pills do the side effects last?
Shay, Oh I’m so sorry to hear about what you are going through! The good news is I am glad you went to the ER and got the help you needed. I dont know how long things will last after you stop taking slim trim U. I have to hope it wont be long but do keep in touch with your doctor as this will give you the best feedback on how you are getting better. I will say a prayer for you tonight that you get back to feeling better quickly.
I lost 40 pounds taking slim trim u. I also ended up in the hospital with a very low potassium level. I think Yes they work, but the side effects can be harmful to your health. Low potassium levels can cause lightheadness, heart arrythmia, chest pain and trouble breathing. I’m seeing a lot of these side effects in the comments listed.
JP, I’m glad you are better now and so sorry you ended up in the hospital after taking Slim Trim U.
Do you know if people with Pecos is ok to take slim trim u? I have high testosterone and wanted to make sure I’m nit adding any more that’s going to interfere with that
Amberd09, Im not aware of any interaction with PCOS. I must say though that bee pollen supplements wont help weight loss. I have other reservations about this and other similar products so I dont recommend it.
Thank you, I was researching myself and that is how I came across your site. I find it very informative. I have taken the Asset 2 and the Bold. I. Do have more energy and I am losing weight. I am just worried about the wear and rear on other body parts. I have had trouble with. urination despite drinking loads of water. Again I like your site keep up the fantastic work, if I locate any other info on this product I will be sure to pass it on.
Mel thanks and Ill look forward to seeing anything else you turn up on the product 🙂
Joe have you checked out the Asset , Asset 2 and Asset Bold products?
Mel, I never heard of them but did find its website. Asset contains cellulose which is a fiber so it might fill people up and also act as a laxative. It has aloe which can be a laxative. it also has hawthorn which I dont feel good about given its effects on heart function. They also say it has “natural fruit extracts” which is vague language. what extracts does it have? It also has bee pollen which does nothing for weight loss. I have concerns about the quality of bee pollen wt loss supplements based on what Ive seen with other products in the past.
I have tried slim trim u, I lost 5 pounds the first week then nothing, I am on zxt now and have lost nothing. also my distributor is saying slim trim u is not being sold anymore, but if I go to Floyd nutrition it will let me purchase it. What is going on with slim trim u? Does anyone know?
Sarah, my thoughts are that the ingredients show up under different product names. Why, I don’t know but If you looked at my analysis, they all seem to contain many of the same things. I’m skeptical that any of the ingredients listed will work, other than being a laxative.
I recently purchased Slim Trim U nearly 3 weeks ago and I’ve only lost about 5 pounds as well. They were also keeping me nauseated all day long. I stopped for a couple of days thinking I may need to reset my body, however they still don’t suppress my appetite they way the should.
Well, not sure what’s in Slim Trim U, but it works for me! I’ve been taking it since April 2013 and I’ve probably loss 20 pounds with no effort. I crave water…had my glucose level to drop….so I’m not diabetic. I love it….and if I forget to take it, I will turn around and get back home for my daily dose.
I have tried everything to lose weight. I’ve been on diets by the dozen ,spent thousands at Jenny Craig, weight watchers you name it and I’ve tried it.I have lost 25 lbs in two months. My only side effect was dry mouth and diarrhea after a meal. I feel more energetic both mentally and physically. I have complete confidence in slimtrimu.
Yes, Dotty! Same for me….but it works. Now, I’ve lost weight all over…except for my boobs. I guess that’s a good thing!!!
My husband and I have been taking slim tru u for almost 2months…and I have gone from 142 to 127 lbs… and my husband from 182 to 166 lbs. The only side effects we have had is the bathroom…. and I did have dry mouth…. but I would recommend this product to anyone…. but thanks for your information.
