QuickSlim-30 is a dietary supplement designed to address weight problems such as low energy, slow metabolism and overeating. These dietary supplements include 12 different herbs that are supposed to help cleanse the body of toxins, nourish the body and aid digestion. The QuickSlim-30 web site asserts that consumers can lose up to two pounds each week taking this dietary supplement. However, consumer reviews have noted that there are side effects associated with QuickSlim-30.

    Loose Stools

  1. Info-Diet, an online diet supplement resource, suggests that one of the common side effects of QuickSlim-30 includes loose stools. This is a common side effect of all diet pills. Loose stools become an issue when a lipase blocker or inhibitor prevents the body from breaking down fats in food. This unabsorbed fat is eliminated from the body in the form of runny or loose stools, as opposed to being absorbed into the body and stored as fat. In addition, one of the active ingredients in QuickSlim is aloe vera; often used as a laxative, it has been added to QuickSlim to help clean the intestines.
  2. Excessive Elimination and Dehydration

  3. Alisma, also known as water plantain, is one of the top ingredients in QuickSlim-30 and is a well known Chinese diuretic. In the book, The Healing Power of Chinese Herbs and Medicinal Recipes, by Joseph P. Hou and Youyu Jin asserts that, although the common dosage of Alisma used in supplements is safe, dehydration and skin rash have occurred in rare cases. Lotus leaf, another diuretic, is also used in QuickSlim.
  4. Herb-Drug Interaction

  5. In addition to Hawthorn Berries, QuickSlim-30 contains Goji Berries, which according to WebMD, has a negative effect on certain drugs, including blood thinners. Goji Berry also has a negative effect on diabetics and will interact negatively with most common blood pressure medicines.
  6. Nausea

  7. Another ingredient in QuickSlim-30, Sweat Tea Vine, has potential side effects including nausea. Sweat Tea Vine is used as a stimulant and can cause nervous tremors in addition to stomach irritation.
  8. Dizziness

  9. One of the last major side effects associated with Quick Slim-30 is dizziness or irritability. Frutus Mori, also known as Mulberry, does induce light headiness as the body adjusts to this additive.
