Five main ingredients, one 2 g stick, every amount on the label. Here is what each Slimqa Coffee Booster ingredient is, where you meet it in everyday food and how much is in a stick.
Reading a supplement label is worth the two minutes it takes. This guide goes through the Slimqa Coffee Booster ingredients in the order they appear on the label, with a note on where each one turns up in the Australian kitchen. If you would like the product in short first, the Slimqa home page gives a quick overview.
What is in one Slimqa stick?
A stick holds 2 g of powder and a box holds 30 of them. The amounts below are per stick. If anything on the pack in your hand differs from this page, go with the pack.
| Ingredient | Form | Per stick (2 g) |
|---|---|---|
| Chromium | Picolinate | 100 mcg |
| Caffeine | - | 120 mg |
| Green coffee extract | Extract of the bean | 100 mg |
| L-carnitine | - | 300 mg |
| Curcumin | From turmeric extract, 95% curcuminoids | 100 mg |
Look at the units. Most amounts are in milligrams (mg), but chromium is in micrograms (mcg). A microgram is one thousandth of a milligram, which is normal for a trace mineral. So 100 mcg of chromium is the same as 0.1 mg, a very small amount next to the 300 mg of L-carnitine.
What is chromium picolinate?
Chromium is a trace mineral, meaning the body only needs a tiny amount of it. Picolinate is the form it is bound to, a combination commonly used in supplements. Each stick contains 100 mcg.
In food, chromium appears in small amounts in broccoli, wholemeal bread, potatoes, grape juice and some cuts of meat. The amount in food varies with the soil and how the food was processed, which is one reason labels give a figure for the supplement and leave the food side to estimation. A longer look at this mineral is in our chromium and caffeine guide.
How much caffeine is in a stick?
The label gives 120 mg of caffeine per stick. Caffeine is the same compound found in coffee beans, tea leaves, cocoa and many soft and energy drinks. The amount in a cafe coffee depends heavily on the bean, the number of shots and the cup size, so there is no single "normal" figure to compare against. The useful habit is to add up your day.
A practical example: you have a flat white on the way to work, a stick in a mug mid-morning, and a cola with lunch. Each of those counts. If you notice that you feel jittery or sleep badly, you may prefer to take the stick earlier, or in water rather than on top of a strong coffee.
What is green coffee extract?
Green coffee refers to coffee beans before roasting. The beans are green rather than brown, and an extract is a concentrated powder made from them. Each stick contains 100 mg of green coffee extract (bean). Roasting changes the make-up of the bean, which is why green coffee extract is treated as a separate ingredient from the coffee you brew. Because it comes from the coffee plant, it can carry a little caffeine of its own. The green coffee extract guide covers the details.
What is L-carnitine?
L-carnitine is an amino acid compound that the body makes itself, and it also arrives through food. Red meat is the classic source, which is why a lamb roast or a beef casserole contains it, and dairy such as milk and cheese contributes some as well. Fish and poultry have smaller amounts. People who eat little or no animal food take in less of it from their plate, so a supplement amount is simply a figure on the label. Each stick contains 300 mg.
Five ingredients with their amounts printed on the label
See Slimqa now Dietary supplement. Not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet. Adults only (18+). Contains caffeine.What is curcumin?
Curcumin is the main yellow pigment in turmeric, the spice that colours a curry or a golden latte. The label specifies "turmeric extract with 95% curcuminoids", which means the extract is highly concentrated in curcumin and related compounds. A stick contains 100 mg. That is much more concentrated than you would get from a spoonful of turmeric in the kitchen, where curcumin makes up only a small share of the spice.
Curcumin needs some care. If you have a gallbladder or liver condition, or you take blood-thinning medicines, speak to your doctor before using the product. More on this in the L-carnitine and curcumin guide.
What are the other ingredients?
Besides the five main ingredients, the powder includes a few supporting ones:
- Inulin is a fibre taken from chicory root. It helps give the powder body and has a mildly sweet character.
- Natural flavour rounds out the taste.
- Stevia leaf extract is a plant-based sweetener.
- Black pepper extract is a concentrated pepper ingredient listed on the label.
The manufacturer also states that the product is vegan, gluten free and non-GMO. Allergen and storage details are on the pack, so read it when your box arrives.
How do the ingredients compare with a normal day of eating?
It helps to put the stick next to an ordinary plate of food, because most of these ingredients are not exotic. A beef or lamb dinner brings L-carnitine. Broccoli, potatoes and wholemeal toast bring a little chromium. Coffee, tea and chocolate bring caffeine. A curry night brings turmeric. The stick gathers these into one measured serve, but it does not turn a weak diet into a strong one. That is why the label reminds you that a supplement is not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet.
How do you read the label on the box?
Look for four things. First, the serving size: here it is one stick of 2 g. Second, the amount per serving for each ingredient. Third, the "other ingredients" line, which is where inulin, natural flavour, stevia leaf extract and black pepper extract sit. Fourth, the warnings: caffeine content, the age limit and the advice for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Keeping those four in mind makes any supplement label easier to follow.
Also keep in mind what is not on the label. This guide mentions only what the label lists. If you have seen other ingredient names attached to Slimqa elsewhere online, check them against the box rather than trusting a list from somewhere else.
A note on units and rounding
Labels round figures to keep them readable, so you may see a single number where the real value in a batch sits a little either side. What matters for you is the order of magnitude: micrograms for the trace mineral, hundreds of milligrams for the amino acid compound, and around a hundred milligrams each for the two plant extracts. If you ever compare Slimqa with another product, compare the same units, and check whether the other label states amounts at all or hides them behind a blend name.
