Slim Sip is a diet supplement that you take as a drink and contains only one active ingredient – Konjac Glucomannan. It is on sale in the UK from High Street retailer Boots. Glucomannan has actually been approved by the European Food Safety Authority as an appetite suppressant and weight loss aid. However, the scientifically proven dose is 3g per day, and Slim Sip fails to state the amount included, so we have no idea if this product will be effective. The price seems good at first glance, but when you realise the price (£19.99) is only a 10-day supply it soon adds up.
Pros
Cons
We take a further look at Slim Sip.
Slim Sip is a Glucomannan supplement that may help you lose weight by restricting your appetite. This ingredient is backed with some clinical evidence and as long as you take it with plenty of water, it seems safe and does not appear to cause side effects.
It is important to ensure that you take Slim Sip with plenty of water to avoid posing a choking risk. The product information warns:
Risk of choking for people with swallowing difficulties or when taken with inadequate fluid.
However, Glucomannan is considered safe if taken in powdered form with plenty of water as here. There appear to be very few side effects but some customers have complained of bloating and increased visits to the bathroom.
30 sachets (10 days supply) costs £19.99. There is an additional £2.45 shipping charge to UK addresses. Postage from Boots is free on orders over £45.00.
Slim Sip is an effervescent diet supplement. You simply add the contents of a sachet to a glass of water and the result is an orange flavoured fizzy drink that you take before meals. According to the product advertising Slim Sip will reduce your appetite and as a consequence your weight. In addition, it will help you maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
This supplement contains just one active ingredient – a natural fibre product called Konjac Glucomannan. Konjac is a root plant that grows in Japan and looks similar to a yam although the species are unrelated. It is used in Japanese cuisine and is valued for its gelatinous texture rather than its taste. Konjac root is a natural source of Glucomannan – a soluble fibre that the body cannot digest. The advertising behind Slim Sip claims that this fibre helps weight loss and so far, clinical evidence for Glucomannan looks promising.
The key factors about Slim Sip state that this supplement:
If you are looking for a supplement that does not affect your mood or energy levels and simply provides some support with restricting your appetite, it may be a good choice.
Dissolve one sachet in a glass of water and drink straightaway with 1-2 glasses of water to ensure it reaches the stomach. Take 3 times a day, 30 minutes before meals.
Slim Sip is sold in the UK from various retail outlets including High Street Chemist Boots and Amazon.
The manufacturers are named by Boots as High Street TV based in Harrogate Yorkshire. This company sell a wide range of products which are advertised on TV shopping channels including Sky 648.
The company claim to sell the hottest TV products from around the world. These include toys, tee shirts, beauty products and DIY and gardening equipment. However, we could not find out who makes this supplement and where.
The label is marked New Image but we could not find a record of this company making Slim Sip. We feel that Boots are misleading customers a little by stating that High Street TV is the UK based manufacturer. In truth, there are no details about where it is made and whether or not the manufacturing process conforms to regulations or safety standards. This information is simply not available.
According to the product information on the Boots website, Slim Sip works in three ways:
You are advised to use Slim Sip in combination with a healthy balanced diet.
We think Slim Sip may be worth a try. There is evidence that suggests that Glucomannan is effective for weight loss, and this supplement has received some positive reviews. However, we would have liked to have seen a full ingredients list to ensure that Slim Sip conforms to the recommended dosage amounts.
Many of the customers who have experienced weight loss while taking Slim Sip, are making the effort to lose weight themselves. This supplement may add some support but it probably will not do as much if you don’t follow a healthy diet and exercise plan.
Its ingredients are scientifically proven to aid weight loss and you are covered by a full 60-day money-back guarantee from a trusted company, making Phentatrim a very popular choice in the diet world.
Phentatrim is the best thing to hit the supplement market in a long time, with thousands of customers already seeing the benefits. That’s why it's our editor's top pick.

Slim Sip is a weight loss drink in sachet form that is described on the label as “Food Supplement With Glucomannan And Sweeteners”. Ingredient amounts are not provided but each drink contains just 26 calories and 27g per fibre per 100g.
The ingredients list is listed as follows:
Acidity regulators, citric acid, sodium bicarbonate; konjac Glucomannan, flavour, anti-caking agent: magnesium oxide, sweeteners: sucralose, acesulfame K; colour beta- carotene.
Glucomannan comes with evidence that it will help reduce appetite and cholesterol and as a result may be a way to help you lose weight. However, the EFSA are very specific in their advice about the quantity of Glucomannan you need to take in order to lose weight. This vital information is not available for Slim Sip and we have no way of knowing how much of the ingredient each sachet contains.
In addition, hunger and appetite are not the only reasons for weight gain. We eat for pleasure in many cases and feeling full up does not stop us from snacking on treats.
Another point to remember is that including more dietary fibre in the shape of fruit and vegetables and wholegrains will also have a similar effect of making you feel more satisfied after eating. Fibre is lacking from many people’s daily diet and you may find that introducing more of this will help you lose weight without the need for a supplement.
It is important to ensure that you take Slim Sip with plenty of water to avoid posing a choking risk. The product information warns:
Risk of choking for people with swallowing difficulties or when taken with inadequate fluid.
However, Glucomannan is considered safe if taken in powdered form with plenty of water as here. There appear to be very few side effects but some customers have complained of bloating and increased visits to the bathroom.
Avoid if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
Seek the advice of your doctor if you are taking medication because of possible interactions.
Do not take if you have any problems with swallowing. Ensure you drink plenty of water in order to wash this supplement down.
Once you open the sachets use immediately to avoid the risk of the supplement expanding in the oesophagus.
Throw away any sachets which have been opened.
Yes, and the good news is that there appear to be very few side effects. Some customers have been extremely pleased with Slim Sip,
I’m only on day 3 and I’ve lost 4lb I was a picker and ate a lot of junk food. After half an hour of taking drink, I have a meal and I am not hungry in between meals so no more picking. I couldn’t be more happier cause I struggle to diet but finding it so easy with slim sips.
And,
Great product that me and my wife used easily and daily. Another great thing was that it helped us increase our water intake SO much! I easily got in at least a gallon of water each day while using Slim Sip. Easy for anyone to use!
I found the item great just what I wanted the weight loss was just what I wanted I have lost almost a stone already I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to lose weight.
However, not everyone is as happy,
Absolutely useless, made no difference to my appetite at all.
And,
Rubbish product do not bother with this, it doesn’t work!!!!
No money-back guarantee is offered.

Slim Sip is not available direct to US customers.
Slim Sip is a Glucomannan supplement that may help you lose weight by restricting your appetite. This ingredient is backed with some clinical evidence and as long as you take it with plenty of water, it seems safe and does not appear to cause side effects.
However, Slim Sip does not look like the best Glucomannan supplement on the market. We are not told how much of the active ingredient it contains and the country of manufacture is unknown. We expect better from Boots!
Many reviewers have said that weight loss is real but slow and in addition, it has not worked for everyone. Our major concern is not with the active ingredient but this supplement. There are other Glucomannan supplements which look better and provide a complete ingredients profile.
Although we feel that Slim Sip may be worth a try the cost may be prohibitive with 10 days supply costing £19.95 – making one month an expensive £58!
For now we do not feel it is quite good enough to add to our approved list and so reject Slim Sip.

thanks
fantastic for reducing snacking and over eating , provides a stedy weight loss im not over weight but needed to loss a little of body fat
only a week and a half in body shape looking much better love it 🙂
liked product has helped me lose 6 lbs
Good for me as I find it difficult swallowing capsules/tablets..I am more likely to choke on one of them than this powder which I take with plenty of water.
Don’t bother horrific stomach cramps and didn’t know about the risk of choking until I looked into the product in more depth I work in a pharmacy and promote this and other products don’t think I want my customers feeling ill like I have
i;ve read all of the watchdog reviews as was interested in trying this as like so many of you that I have read have been yo yo dieters like myself < I have already managed to loose 12 ibs in 14 weeks but cutting out almost all carbs and suger (this without much gym either ) however now that my system is used to this new diet noting much is happening so that ;s why I thought I;d look into this to help however I;m concened abt some of the mentioned contraindications and tbh this is now putting me off trying it :~(
I did use this product for a short time during the summer last year but it didn’t seem to affect my appetite at all. In addition, after a few days, I had a reaction on two occasions after taking it in the morning whereby I was overcome with a hot sweaty feeling, flushed very red and felt extremely nauseous. Like a hot sweat or a panic attack. I therefore stopped using it. I have been fine ever since stopping. I really wanted this to work for me, the adverts appear so positive and promise great things in an easy format, sadly not for me.
I have been a yo-yo dieter for years and nothing has worked for me.im now trying slim sip my first day and I feel full.im also known to pick a lot.Ive never had a good relationship with food, so I’ll keep you up dated and let you know when I weight in,in ten days time
Amazing product, only used for one day, stopped me snacking and eating too Big a portion! Highly recommend this product to help with weight loss
Good for you keep going
