Slenderiiz Drops: An Honest Review

What is actually in the box

Slenderiiz is sold as one product and is really two, in two separate bottles, regulated as two different categories of thing. Getting this straight matters, because a lot of what is written about Slenderiiz online describes the box as entirely homeopathic, and that is not what the label says.

Slenderiix is the homeopathic bottle: eleven ingredients at HPUS dilutions between 6X and 12X, in a base that is 20 percent grain alcohol. Xceler8 is a conventional dietary supplement with its own Supplement Facts panel, carrying 600 mcg of vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin, 100 mcg of biotin, and a 37.5 mg proprietary blend of green tea leaf, ashwagandha root and rhodiola rosea root.

They are labelled differently, regulated differently, and the evidence behind them works differently. Anyone comparing Slenderiiz to a single supplement is comparing the wrong number of things.

What customers actually rate it

The average is the number everyone quotes. The distribution is the number that tells you something, and it is the one a manufacturer has no reason to print.

Read the breakdown below rather than the average. A product where most people are delighted and a real minority are not is a different proposition from one where everybody is mildly satisfied, and the average cannot tell those apart.

The reviews themselves are unedited and unfiltered further down the product page.

What the 12-week study actually measured

There is one trial behind the figure quoted almost everywhere Slenderiiz is discussed, and its conditions are rarely quoted alongside it. It followed 23 people for 12 weeks against a placebo.

Every participant ate to a 1,250 calorie daily limit from an approved food list, exercised, and took a multivitamin, a mineral supplement, an omega-3 and a zeolite and carbon supplement alongside the drops. So what was measured was a whole program, with the drops as one component of it, and 23 people is a small group from which to read much.

That does not make the result fake. It makes it a result about a program. A number produced inside a calorie-restricted regimen with several other supplements in it cannot be attributed to any single item in that regimen, and anyone quoting it without the 1,250 calorie limit attached is quoting half a sentence.

Where homeopathy stands with the regulators

Homeopathic preparations are not approved by the FDA. Since 2016 the Federal Trade Commission has held that health claims made for homeopathic products require the same standard of scientific evidence as claims made for anything else, and that marketing which implies otherwise is deceptive.

It applies to the Slenderiix bottle. It does not apply to Xceler8, which is a conventional supplement.

Who should not take it, and what is worth knowing first

Two things on the label are worth knowing before you buy. Neither is hidden. They are simply not what the marketing leads with.

The Slenderiix bottle is supplied in a base of 20 percent grain alcohol. That is a fifth of the bottle. If you avoid alcohol for medical, religious or personal reasons, that is the fact you need, and it is also the reason a halal or kosher mark could not apply to this particular product.

The Xceler8 bottle contains 1 mg of caffeine per serving, from the green tea extract in its energy blend. That is a small amount, well under a cup of coffee, but it is not zero.

As with any supplement, anyone pregnant or nursing, anyone taking prescription medication, and anyone managing an existing health condition should talk to their own doctor before starting. We are a retailer. We are not in a position to tell you this is appropriate for you.

How it is taken

Serving size and directions below come from Partner.Co's own fact sheet, read live from our store rather than typed out here.

If you have seen a different figure on DailyMed, the federal archive of registered drug labelling, that is explained in full on our dosage guide. The short version is that the archive publishes what was filed at registration and is not refreshed when a label changes.

Take the drops before meals. A serving of each bottle is 24 drops (1 mL), and each 2 fl oz bottle holds 59 servings. Slenderiix is supplied in a base of 20 percent grain alcohol. Xceler8 contains 1 mg of caffeine per serving from green tea extract.

What it costs

Prices below are live from our store. We show the manufacturer's suggested retail price alongside what members pay, so you can see both rather than one.

On price alone we are not dramatically cheaper than buying direct. If price is your only consideration, compare both and buy wherever suits you.
