SlimSet Ingredients: 7 Checks On The Supplement Facts Label
Most people read a supplement bottle from the front to the back. Do it the other way round. The front is the name. The back is the data. These seven checks take you through the SlimSet Supplement Facts panel in the order that tells you the most, with the arithmetic done for you.
Quick answer. One SlimSet capsule contains five printed actives: green coffee bean extract, raspberry ketone, garcinia extract and green tea extract at 130 mg each, and caffeine anhydrous at 138 mg. There is no proprietary blend. The only other ingredient is a hypromellose capsule shell. It is a capsule, not a gummy or liquid drops.
What is SlimSet, in one paragraph?
SlimSet is sold as a weight loss product. It is a once-daily vegetable capsule with 30 capsules in a bottle. The two lines printed on the bottle are Weight Loss Product and Dietary Supplement, and the FDA disclaimer box is there in full. The seller's page describes appetite control, everyday fat metabolism and steady energy. Those are the seller's words, not label words.
People search for slimset pills, slimset gummies and slimset drops. It is a capsule, and the capsule is the only form. There is no gummy and no liquid. Pills is a loose word for the same thing.
What are the 7 checks on the SlimSet label?
Check 1: Find the serving size
Every figure on a panel is per serving. Here a serving is one capsule and a bottle holds 30, so every number you read is also a daily number. That is easy to work with, and not every label makes it so.
Check 2: Count the rows and look for a blend
There are five rows, each with its own milligram figure. A proprietary blend would give one total for several ingredients and hide the split. This panel has none, which is why anyone can work out what a capsule delivers.
Check 3: Read the amount beside each name
Four rows are 130 mg: green coffee bean extract (Coffea robusta, seed), raspberry ketone, garcinia extract (Garcinia cambogia, fruit) and green tea extract (Camellia sinensis, leaf). Caffeine anhydrous is 138 mg, eight milligrams above them. Caffeine is the largest single row.
Check 4: Read the brackets and do the sum
A percentage in brackets turns a plant extract into a compound. Half of a 130 mg row is 65 mg. Three rows carry one, and the table below shows each result. Raspberry ketone and caffeine are single compounds, so there is nothing to convert.
Check 5: Count the caffeine twice
The caffeine anhydrous row is 138 mg. The green tea extract is printed at under 3% caffeine, which caps its share at about 3.9 mg. The green coffee extract also carries some, and no percentage is printed for it. So the true total is above 138 mg, and no published figure for it exists. We do not guess one.
Check 6: Read the other-ingredients line
The only other ingredient is hypromellose, the capsule shell. It is plant-derived, so the capsule suits a vegetarian diet, although the label itself makes no vegetarian claim. The label states Contains Caffeine. It makes no non-GMO and no gluten-free claim.
Check 7: Read the caution, storage and distributor lines
The caution asks pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18 and anyone with a known medical condition to consult a physician first, and says not to exceed the dose or use the product if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Storage reads: “Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and light.” The distributor is Slimset, PO Box 12730, Ogden, UT 84412.
What does one capsule deliver once the brackets are applied?
- Serving size is one capsule, with 30 servings per container.
- Green coffee bean extract, raspberry ketone, garcinia extract and green tea extract are each 130 mg; caffeine anhydrous is 138 mg.
- Together the five rows come to 658 mg of declared active material in a capsule.
- Three rows print a standardisation: 50% chlorogenic acids, 50% HCA, and 98% polyphenols, 75% catechins and 45% EGCG.
- No proprietary blend: every active has its own amount.
- Other ingredients: hypromellose (vegetable capsule). The label says Contains Caffeine.
- No non-GMO and no gluten-free claim appears on the label.
| Row | Printed amount and bracket | One capsule delivers |
|---|---|---|
| Green coffee bean extract | 130 mg, 50% chlorogenic acids | about 65 mg chlorogenic acids |
| Garcinia extract | 130 mg, 50% HCA | about 65 mg hydroxycitric acid |
| Green tea extract | 130 mg, 45% EGCG | about 58.5 mg EGCG |
| Green tea extract | 130 mg, 75% catechins | about 97.5 mg total catechins |
| Green tea extract | 130 mg, 98% polyphenols | about 127 mg polyphenols |
| Raspberry ketone | 130 mg, no bracket | 130 mg |
| Caffeine anhydrous | 138 mg, no bracket | 138 mg declared, plus an unprinted extra from the two extracts |
These are the label's own percentages applied to the label's own amounts. Nothing is estimated.
The percentages nest. All the EGCG is a catechin, and all the catechins are polyphenols, so you do not add 98, 75 and 45. Each one converts on its own, and you pick the one that matches the study you want to compare with.
How do those amounts compare with the research?
One figure matches a trial: the 138 mg of caffeine sits beside the 150 mg caffeine-only arm of the 1999 thermogenesis trial. That arm reported no effect on energy expenditure. The arm that raised 24-hour energy expenditure by 4% used 270 mg of EGCG a day, about five times the 58.5 mg here.
The other botanicals also sit below their trial doses. A pooled green coffee result of 1.30 kg appears only at 500 mg of chlorogenic acids a day and above, against about 65 mg here. The JAMA trial of hydroxycitric acid used 1,500 mg a day for 12 weeks and found nothing beyond placebo, so the 65 mg here is a twenty-third of a dose that already failed. For raspberry ketone there is nothing to compare, since no human weight trial exists.
A low dose does not prove the capsule does nothing. It means the published work cannot predict what this capsule does, and nobody has tested the finished capsule.
Frequently asked questions
What is in SlimSet?
Five actives per capsule: green coffee bean extract 130 mg, raspberry ketone 130 mg, garcinia extract 130 mg, green tea extract 130 mg and caffeine anhydrous 138 mg. Beyond those five, the label lists only hypromellose, the vegetable capsule shell.
Does SlimSet use a proprietary blend?
No. Every one of the five actives has its own amount on the panel, and three of them also print a standardisation percentage.
Is SlimSet a capsule, a gummy or drops?
It is a capsule. The shell is hypromellose. There is no gummy and no liquid form of this product.
How much caffeine is in SlimSet in total?
138 mg is declared as caffeine anhydrous. The green tea extract adds under 3.9 mg, and the amount carried by the green coffee extract is not published. The true total is above 138 mg, and no published figure exists.
Is the SlimSet capsule vegetarian?
The shell is hypromellose, which is plant-derived, so it suits a vegetarian diet. The label itself makes no vegetarian claim, and it makes no non-GMO and no gluten-free claim.
Where is SlimSet's Supplement Facts panel?
It is on the bottle, and the supplement facts page of this website reproduces it. Check your bottle against it: five rows, the brackets and the Contains Caffeine line should all match.
Our view
Our view is that this is a readable label. It prints five amounts, three standardisations and a caffeine declaration, and it hides nothing behind a blend. Readable is not the same as effective. Four of the five actives sit below the amounts their trials used, and caffeine is the one row at a trial-comparable amount.
If you take prescription medicines, have a heart or liver condition, are pregnant or nursing, or are under 18, talk to a doctor before the first capsule. The label tells you the same.
