SlimTide FAQ: Questions People Ask

A dietary supplement in capsule form, sold as metabolic and digestive support. One capsule a day with a glass of water, thirty capsules to a bottle, for adults 18 and over. It is not a drug, it is not FDA-approved, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Three declared rows: chicory root inulin at 211 mg, potato resistant starch at 100 mg, and a 36 mg Probiotic Blend containing Bifidobacterium infantis, Clostridium butyricum and Akkermansia muciniphila. Plus hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate and silica.

Yes, and a complete one. This is the best-documented label this series of sites has been given: real per-serving amounts, a full Other Ingredients line, storage, caution and a named distributor. That is why this site can do arithmetic instead of listing absences.

211 mg of chicory inulin and 100 mg of resistant starch. For scale, FDA's Daily Value for dietary fibre is 28 g, so the inulin is about 0.75% of it — well inside what FDA itself calls “low”.

Nobody has said. The blend is declared as 36 mg by weight, which is what US rules require, and not in colony-forming units, which is the number that describes a probiotic. NIH's advice is to look for CFU at the end of shelf life; this label gives neither.

Not stated. Three species are named and no strain designation appears for any of them. Probiotic effects are strain-specific, so a species name on its own cannot be checked against any trial.

The panel declares hypromellose, which is plant-derived, and nothing animal-derived appears in the ingredient list. Of the eleven marks on this product, the vegetarian one is the only one the label itself supports.

The label's wording: as a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule daily with an 8 oz. glass of water. Refrigerate for optimal quality.

The written pack says so. The label does not. This site prints the label's instruction as the instruction and records the pack's addition as the seller's advice.

The label says to, twice. The same side panel also says to store it in a cool, dry place, and a refrigerator is cool and not dry. This site cannot resolve that and does not pretend to — ask the desk.

Nothing supplied answers that, which is the honest and unsatisfying reply. There is no starting count and no stability data, so nobody can tell you what arrived.

The label says do not exceed the recommended dose. That also settles the obvious response to the arithmetic on this site: taking 57 capsules to reach an authorised inulin dose is not something the label permits.

Take the next one at the usual time. Nothing supplied suggests doubling up, and the label says not to exceed the dose.

Thirty capsules at one a day is thirty days. That is division, not a claim.

Because that is the only published, authorised daily intake for chicory inulin. EU Regulation 2015/2314 permits the bowel-function claim only for foods providing 12 g a day of native chicory inulin. This capsule declares 211 mg.

12,000 mg divided by 211 mg is 56.9, so 57 capsules a day — and the label says not to exceed one. That is not a criticism of the panel, which is honest. It is what the panel lets you work out.

No. They are cited here because they are the most specific published statement anyone has made about what dose of chicory inulin does something, and because a regulator that examined the evidence wrote the number down.

The authorised EU claim for resistant starch is about replacing digestible starch within a meal, so that resistant starch is at least 14% of the total starch in that meal. A 100 mg capsule taken with a glass of water does not replace starch in a meal, so the claim is not available to it at any dose.

One thing. Because a proprietary blend must list its ingredients in descending order of weight, the organism printed first can be at most 36 mg, the second at most 18 mg and the third at most 12 mg. That is the only quantitative statement the label permits about any one of them — and milligrams still are not organisms.

ODS's position is that probiotics are unlikely to cause harm in healthy people and that side effects are usually minor. It also records infections, including bacteraemia and fungaemia, mostly in people who were severely ill or immunocompromised, and FDA warned in 2023 about probiotics in preterm infants. Without a strain or a count, nobody can be more specific about this product.

The label says pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18 and anyone with a known medical condition should consult a physician first. Add anyone immunocompromised or seriously unwell, on ODS's evidence.

A mucin-degrading gut organism and the newest of the three to reach the supplement market. In the EU only the pasteurised — non-viable — form has been authorised as a novel food, for adults excluding pregnant and lactating women, at up to 3.4 × 10¹⁰ cells a day and under a named strain. This label gives none of those four things.

Inulin is a fermentable fibre and wind or bloating is its best-known effect at higher intakes. At 211 mg a capsule that is unlikely, though everything on this page adds to whatever else you take.

Ask a doctor or pharmacist. The label says to if you have a known medical condition, and this site is not a clinician.

No price was supplied to this website, so none is printed here and the structured data on this site carries no offers block. The price is whatever the sales page prints at checkout.

For orders, tracking, changes and refunds: +1 (302) 200-3480, the order desk. The number printed on the bottle, +1 (507) 448-8190, is the distributor's. Both are real and they are for different things.

The pack gives 60 days from purchase, unless the sales page prints a longer window. Claims go through the order desk with your order ID — not through this website's inbox, which cannot see orders.

The buyer, and the pack advises using a tracked service.

Three to five business days for the credit to be issued after it is approved, then five to ten days for it to appear on the card.

Neither was supplied. The pack says orders ship from the US unless the sales page says otherwise, and that tracking arrives in the order email. Any number beyond that would be invented — which matters more than usual here, because the label asks for refrigeration and nobody has said how long the parcel takes.

There are none. The pack supplied a 4.5 score, 1,169 written reviews and 8 named reviewers, and its own precautions block says those figures are layout copy. This site publishes no rating, no count, and no Review markup of any kind.

Because the photographs supplied were snapshots of five people holding the bottle and a studio portrait, none of them attached to any review. The full list and the reason for each is on the page about what we did not publish.

Yes. This is a stocking partner's site and it may be paid for a sale. It has not changed a figure here; the capsule arithmetic is the evidence of that.

No. The label names Instituto Experience of Lakeland, Florida as the distributor. This site is a retail desk.
