Side Effects of SlimQuick Diet Supplements

SlimQuick diet supplements are intended to promote weight loss through a combination of vitamins, stimulants and herbs. They are targeted toward women and are meant to be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise program. Before taking SlimQuick supplements, talk to your doctor to make sure that the products are safe for you to use.

  1. Hormonal Effects

    • SlimQuick products contain phytoestrogens through ingredients such as soy and chasteberry. These compounds emulate the estrogen made naturally in the body. You may experience complications if you use SlimQuick at the same time as birth control medications.

    Dehydration

    • Diuretics such as pine extract, horsetail, uva ursi, and dandelion leaf also are found in SlimQuick products. A diuretic causes water weight loss to occur through increased urination and perspiration. If you lose too much water, you can become dehydrated. Avoid this by drinking more fluids while you're taking SlimQuick.

    Effects on the Heart

    • SlimQuick diet supplements can cause your blood pressure and heart rate to rise because they contain stimulants such as caffeine and green tea extract. These compounds can speed up metabolism but also put an increased strain on your cardiovascular system. The manufacturer says that when you use SlimQuick diet supplements as directed, the increase in heart rate and blood pressure are considered safe. Your heart rate and blood pressure should return to normal within one to two hours after taking the product.

    Effects On Sleep

    • The stimulants in SlimQuick also can cause sleep issues such as insomnia to develop in some people. Don't take SlimQuick late in the day, to reduce the chance that it will affect your sleeping patterns.

    Nausea

    • Some people may develop nausea when taking SlimQuick because of an intolerance to one or more of the supplement's ingredients. In most cases, you'll develop a tolerance within three to four days after the first use of the product. If the nausea continues after this period, consider alternate diet supplement options.
