Review : Slimina!

 photo s1_zpsd238adef.jpg
A few weeks ago I reviewed the GEO Nudy  Brown lenses from Miss Valerie of Dull to Doll but that lovely pair wasn't the only thing I got from her. She sent me a free bottle of one of her "best selling" products which is the Slimina Weight Loss Capsule.
You might be surprised or rolling your eyes at me but I'll try anything once so I decided to give this a go and share my experience with you guys. Prior to starting with taking Slimina I decided to weigh myself since it's the logical thing to do, right? I weighed in at 98kilos (yes, not afraid to admit it!).
Here's what they say about the product:
SLIMINA Weight Loss Capsules is formulated from herbal plants that are recognized for their unique properties and have been widely used for centuries. The capsule has passed the RC Drug Certification and is Manufactured by SFDA approved GMP ( Good Manufacturing Practice ) factory. This product has been proven to be safe and effective; it has no negative side effects such as palpitation, nausea, diarrhea and rebounding.
Not applicable for women in pregnancy and lactating mother.

Serving Size: 1 capsule

Perilla Leaf Extract 80 mg
Oriental Waterplantain Rhizome Extract 50mg
Tuchkahoe Extract 45 mg
Cassia Seed Extract 35 mg
Price : P990
Where : Dull to Doll
After more than 15 days, here's what I can say about this product.
I take 1 capsule 15-20 minutes before breakfast. 
* You will have a dry mouth. You'll be craving water like crazy! I've been increasing my water intake the past few months but while taking this product, I drink even more water than usual. The dry mouth can be a pain sometimes especially when I'm in the middle of work but it's still tolerable.
* You will have the tendency to always want to pee. With all that water, I'm usually off to the comfort room after an hour or so. For me this isn't such a bad thing because it helps cleanse the body.
* Decreased appetite. The first three days, I didn't really experience this but on the fourth day onwards, I did experience a decrease in appetite but not really "big" enough that I won't actually eat. Plus, even if I don't have the appetite to eat, I make sure not to skip meals.
* There is a tendency of experiencing insomnia. Prior to taking Slimina, I don't typically have problems falling asleep but during the days that I took Slimina, I felt that I had that lil bit of "extra" energy leftover at the end of the day and I end up being able to fall asleep at 3am instead of the usual 11pm. Nevertheless, I really appreciate the extra energy in the mornings when I'm at work!
* Weight loss wasn't a drastic as I've heard it was for other people. I've read about people loosing more than 8 or 10 kilos with Slimina on the first week. I, on the other hand, lost only 3 kilos in the last 15 days. This is with an active lifestyle alerady (I work as a nurse and I'm on my feet most of the time.) I'm still looking forward to loosing more weight.
* Despite the claim that there are no negative side effects like palpitation I did experience these side effects when I took Slimina then had an intake of caffeine. So caffeine is a no-no when you're taking Slimina. You'll end up having headaches and palpitations like me! I stopped my caffeine intake while taking Slimina and all went smoothly.
* Slimina did not break me out, just in case anyone is wondering. I've read that other slimming products can break you out.
There really aren't any significant photos to post yet. I took a before photo, but I've decided to post that once I finish the bottle. Still, I urge those of you who intend to start using Slimina, to also partner it up with a healthy and active lifestyle.
You can purchase Slimina from Miss Valerie of Dull to Doll at P990 (exclusive of shipping).

  1. I think, like with many products, the effects still depend on body type and how your body reacts to it. Some girls without an active lifestyle are losing more weight than those with one, and vice versa.

    I hit the gym often so I'm excited to try this!

  6. For a year now I've tried living a healthy lifestyle, after losing significant weight total of 30lbs from 4 months doing "sworkit" (exercise app you can find in AppStore) then a 2 month exercise program called "insanity" combined with diet. But after the program I got complacent and didn't bother exercising and became over confident... 6 months after I gained 13lbs. Couldn't believe the scale but there were tell tale signs already... since I got back the muffin top back (love handles, back fat and beer belly), wearing jeans was a struggle, can't sit down wearing a low waist jeans... my midsection would just be nestling over it. My friend who went into a healthy lifestyle earlier than I did, well she mentioned her aid in her journey was slimina... cutting story short I bought 2 bottles and started popped in my first pill 01Nov2016. I've noticed thirst can be an issue... I consume now about 3-4 liters a day... that's not an issue for me since I'm used to drinking probably 2 liters a day. Day 1 with the pill I started my exercise routine again, 30minutes jog on the treadmill continuously no breaks or slow down the momentum. Next day weight lifts no cardio. (So my routine alternates from a cardio day to lifts day etc...) I'm not a breakfast person... but when slimina instruction to take it before breakfast so I followed that. I drink decaf coffe in lieu of a regular coffee now. Stayed away from sodas and other sweet drinks except natural fruit juices or smoothie. I don't know if it's psychological or if the pill is really effective but loss of appetite I'm experiencing that... I eat heavy lunch or dinner depends how busy I am but I replace 1 meal for a very light snack... the rest of the day prior and after exercise I consume atleast an apple then a banana. Today is my 7th day with slimina... with my daily exercise 6 days straight, high water intake, including fruits in my diet as well as a much needed breakfast, 1 guaranteed heavy meal then a light snack for the required 3 square meals a day.... drum roll.... I lost total of 12lbs. First couple of days I should say I got constipated, 4th day pooped a little stool... 5th and 6th day I was pooping like crazy... (amount disposed not frequency). I don't know if the pill helped me lose 12lbs, but I did lose that much... today is my 7th day and haven't even taken the pill yet. Initially I weigh 184lbs now I'm down 171lbs. Don't know if my scale is broken or what I'll check again later when I hit the gym. Though visually I can see that my midsection lost inches bout 1-2inches... and able to suck my gut in easily. That's a good sign. Anyway so far that's my journey in health and fitness. I might finish the whole bottle but I'm still pondering on that. 2nd bottle I might give it away to my friend who still takes it from time to time. 1 thing for sure don't rely on the pill alone... I was more inspired by my goal to lose weight and the pill I guess gave me mental boost and focus for me to go back to the gym and eat healthy. Lots of luck people. (Sorry lengthy post LOL)
