The major ingredients in the products include green tea extract, caffeine and various herbal, fruit and vegetable extracts. There have been rare reports of clinically apparent liver injury in patients taking SLIMQUICK products, the majority of which had clinical features suggestive of green tea hepatotoxicity.</p></div><div id="SLIMQUICK.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>SLIMQUICK is a proprietary product name for an array of multi-ingredient herbal and nutritional supplements (MINS) marketed as aids in weight loss. The SLIMQUICK brand is currently produced by SLIMQUICK Laboratories (Wilmington, DE). The constituents of the various SLIMQUICK products vary, but the main ingredients are green tea, caffeine and extracts of various botanical agents (Rhodiola rosea, Capsicum annum, Chaste tree, turmeric and ginger) as well as several fruit and vegetable extracts (pomegranate, grape, cocoa, pepper). The ingredients and their concentrations in some of the products have been modified over time.</p><p>A selection of common SLIMQUICK products that are currently marketed are given in the Table below with a listing of their ingredients as provided in the product labels shown on the official SLIMQUICK website. Because the products are considered nutritional supplements they are not subject to the usual evaluation of efficacy and safety given to medications. However, all nutritional supplements are subject to rules regarding purity and good manufacturing practices. Nutritional supplements are not recommended for specific medical conditions, but can be advertised as being supportive of general health or a specific tissue or organ health. These multi-ingredient products appear to be generally safe and well tolerated, but prospective studies of their efficacy, tolerance and safety have not been published. Thus, it is not clear whether use of SLIMQUICK products leads to more weight loss than would occur with diet and exercise and if weight loss occurs, what component of the product is responsible. While the product labels list the major ingredients, they provide total concentrations per serving (which may be 2 or 3 capsules or gummies) rather that the concentrations of each specific ingredient.</p></div><div id="SLIMQUICK.SLIMQUICK__Selected_Products_f"><h3>SLIMQUICK&#x000ae; &#x02013; Selected Products for Weight Loss</h3></div><div id="SLIMQUICK._September_2021"><h3>(September 2021)</h3><div id="SLIMQUICK.Tc" class="table"><p class="large-table-link" style="display:none"><span class="right"><a href="/books/NBK548570/table/SLIMQUICK.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object">View in own window</a></span></p><div class="large_tbl" id="__SLIMQUICK.Tc_lrgtbl__"><table><thead><tr><th id="hd_h_SLIMQUICK.Tc_1_1_1_1" scope="col" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">Product Name</th><th id="hd_h_SLIMQUICK.Tc_1_1_1_2" scope="col" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">Major Listed Ingredients</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td headers="hd_h_SLIMQUICK.Tc_1_1_1_1" scope="row" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;">SLIMQUICK Pure Regular Strength 6 Ways Complex</td><td headers="hd_h_SLIMQUICK.Tc_1_1_1_2" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;">455 mg: Caffeine, Rhodiola rosea root extract, Chaste Tree fruit extract [Vitex agnus-castus], and AlloPure Green Tea<sup>TM</sup> consisting of green tea leaf extract (Camellia sinensis) and phosphatidylcholine (from sunflower lecithin)</td></tr><tr><td headers="hd_h_SLIMQUICK.Tc_1_1_1_1" scope="row" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;">SLIMQUICK Pure Extra Strength Keto Complex</td><td headers="hd_h_SLIMQUICK.Tc_1_1_1_2" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;">670 mg: Medium Chain <a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.triglycerides/">Triglycerides</a> (MCT) Oil Powder, Caffeine, Chaste Tree fruit extract [Vitex agnus-castus], and KetoGreen<sup>TM</sup> Green Tea consisting of green tea leaf extract (Camellia sinensis) and phosphatidylcholine (from sunflower lecithin)</td></tr><tr><td headers="hd_h_SLIMQUICK.Tc_1_1_1_1" scope="row" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;">SLIMQUICK Pure Extra Strength Gummies</td><td headers="hd_h_SLIMQUICK.Tc_1_1_1_2" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;">170 mg: Medium Chain <a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.triglycerides/">Triglycerides</a> (MCT) Oil Powder, Chromium, and KetoGreen<sup>TM</sup> Green Tea consisting of green tea leaf extract (Camellia sinensis) and phospholipids (from sunflower lecithin)</td></tr><tr><td headers="hd_h_SLIMQUICK.Tc_1_1_1_1" scope="row" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;">SLIMQUICK Pure Extra Strength Keto Mixed Berry Drink</td><td headers="hd_h_SLIMQUICK.Tc_1_1_1_2" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;">385 mg: Caffeine, Medium Chain <a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.triglycerides/">Triglycerides</a> (MCT) Oil Powder, Chaste Tree fruit extract [Vitex agnus-castus], and KetoGreen<sup>TM</sup> Green Tea consisting of green tea leaf extract (Camellia sinensis) and sunflower lecithin</td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div><div id="SLIMQUICK.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>The initial reports of liver injury attributed to SLIMQUICK were published in 2012, with subsequent reports in 2014 and 2016, all from the United States. At least two dozen cases attributed to SLIMQUICK products have been described in the literature. These publications described an acute hepatocellular injury arising within 3 to 12 weeks of starting a SLIMQUICK product that contained green tea extract and caffeine along with several botanical extracts, the concentrations of which were not provided. The injury was moderate in severity and resolved within 1 to 2 months of stopping the dietary supplement (Case 1). At least one case resulted in need for emergency liver transplantation. Immunoallergic features were not present, but several patients had autoantibodies. <a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.liver-histology/">Liver histology</a> suggested drug induced liver injury rather than autoimmune hepatitis. The injury resolved once the nutritional supplement was stopped, but in some cases corticosteroids were used. Chronic or recurrent injury without reexposure did not occur.</p><p><a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.likelihood-score/">Likelihood score</a>: C (probable cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="SLIMQUICK.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The liver injury attributed to SLIMQUICK products has been attributed usually to green tea extract, but the mechanism by which this herb might cause liver injury is unexplained. Subsequent testing of cases of green tea liver injury have shown an association with HLA-B*35:01, an allele found in 10% to 12% of the general population but in more than 70% of cases attributed to green tea, including cases of SLIMQUICK associated liver injury. Indeed, this allele was found in more than 90% of cases of green tea injury that were considered highly likely or definitely related, but in only 66% of those that were considered only probably green tea related. Furthermore, 3 patients with recurrence of injury on re-exposure (sometimes to a different source of green tea) all had HLA-B*35:01. These findings suggest that green tea related liver injury is idiosyncratic in nature and likely to be immunologically mediated.</p></div><div id="SLIMQUICK.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>The liver injury that has been attributed to SLIMQUICK products has usually been mild-to-moderate in severity and self-limited in course, resolving in 1 to 2 months of stopping the preparations. However, at least one case of acute liver failure requiring liver transplantation has been published. SLIMQUICK products have not been linked to instances of chronic hepatitis or vanishing bile duct syndrome. In patients presenting with acute, unexplained liver injury, all HDS products should be discontinued and the case reported to federal registries. It is also helpful to carefully define what products were being taken and at what doses and for how long. Retrieval of the actual product or products can also be helpful as progress is being made in the identification of ingredients by advanced chemical and biochemical methods. Testing for HLA-B*35:01 can help to further confirm the link to green tea. Patients with clinically apparent liver injury attributed to SLIMQUICK products should avoid other dietary supplements with green tea extract.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/HerbalDietarySuppl/">Herbal and Dietary Supplements</a>, Multi-Ingredient Nutritional Supplements</p></div></div><div id="SLIMQUICK.CASE_REPORTS"><h2 id="_SLIMQUICK_CASE_REPORTS_">CASE REPORTS</h2><div id="SLIMQUICK.Case_1_Acute_hepatitis_attribu"><h3>Case 1. Acute hepatitis attributed to use of a SLIMQUICK weight loss product.(<a class="bk_pop" href="#SLIMQUICK.REF.1">1</a>)</h3><p>A 42 year old woman started a weight loss regimen using "Slim Quick Fat Burner" and developed nausea, anorexia, dark urine and jaundice 3 to 4 weeks later, leading her to stop the supplement. She had been in general good health and had no history of liver disease, alcohol use, drug allergies or risk factors for viral hepatitis. Her other medical problems (and medications) included hypertension (labetalol, hydrochlorothiazide and felodipine), hay fever and asthma (fexofenadine with pseudoephedrine), gastroesophageal reflux disease (esomeprazole) and depression (nortriptyline). She had taken these medications chronically and she continued them during the episode of jaundice. When first seen 5 days after stopping the weight loss powder, she was jaundiced. The BMI was 30.9 kg/m<sup>2</sup>. Laboratory tests showed a total bilirubin of 9.5 mg/dL (5.7 direct), <a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.alanine-aminotransferase-alt-/">ALT</a> 1020 U/L, <a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.aspartate-aminotransferase-ast-/">AST</a> 923 U/L and alkaline phosphatase 190 U/L (R ratio=12.5). The serum albumin was 3.6 g/dL and INR 1.1. Tests for hepatitis A, B, C and E were negative. The ANA was strongly positive at 1: 1:1280, but SMA and AMA were negative. An abdominal ultrasound was normal except for slight hepatomegaly. She did not undergo liver biopsy and did not receive corticosteroids. She was hospitalized but for one day only. She began to improve soon after the weight loss product was stopped. <a class="def" href="/books/n/livertox/glossary/def-item/glossary.jaundice/">Jaundice</a> cleared within a month as did clinical symptoms. While serum ALT levels remained moderately elevated for 3 to 4 months, all liver tests were normal when she was seen 6 and 12 months after onset.

SLIMQUICK contains high concentrations of green tea extract, although formulations frequently change. Because SLIMQUICK, like many dietary supplements, is a brand of many products with many ingredients, it is difficult to implicate a specific ingredient of the product as the cause for liver injury. Other listed components of the SLIMQUICK Fat Burner product implicated included calcium, magnesium, silicon, caffeine, chaste tree extract, rhodiola, Japanese knotwood, brown seaweed, soy, uva-ursi, vitamins B6, B12, D, and K, folate, titanium, and cellulose. The finding that the patient was HLA-B*35:01 positive suggests that the injury was related to green tea.</p></div></div></div><div id="SLIMQUICK.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_SLIMQUICK_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
