Imagine a market stall of labeled jars
Picture a table at the Saturday farmers market, lined with small jars. Each one holds something from a different corner of the world: a leaf, a seed, a root. That is a fun way to think about the plant extract blend named in the Slimzol product information.
This post is a gentle tour. We stick to where each plant comes from and how people know it. We do not describe effects, because that is not what a friendly label guide should do. For the full list, see our ingredients page.
Green tea leaf: the familiar one
Most of us already know this one. Green tea comes from the leaves of the tea plant, picked and dried, then steeped in hot water. It is a staple of many kitchens, often enjoyed in the morning or with a quiet afternoon break.

Grape seed: from the fruit bowl
Grape seed is exactly what it sounds like: the small seeds found inside grapes. If you have ever eaten a grape with seeds, you have met it. It is a nice example of a plant part we see all the time without thinking about it. Next time you pour a bowl of grapes at a picnic, you can smile at the little seed inside.
Maca root and guarana seed: two far-off places
Maca is a root that grows in the high Andes of South America. Cooks may know it as a powder or flour, sold in some specialty shops.
Guarana is a seed from a climbing plant native to the Amazon region. It is often described by its small, dark seeds, which are processed into a variety of products.
Both are good reminders that a label can connect your kitchen counter to places far away. A simple way to enjoy this is to find the Andes and the Amazon on a map while your morning tea steeps.
African mango seed and gymnema leaf
African mango seed comes from the fruit of a tree native to parts of West and Central Africa. As the name hints, it is the seed that is used here, not the fruit flesh. It is a small detail, yet it shows how precise a good label can be.
Gymnema sylvestre is a woody climbing vine native to parts of India and Asia, and the leaf is the part named on the label.

How the blend fits the label
The product information names these six plants together as a plant extract blend, alongside chromium listed as chromium picolinate at 7 mcg per 1 ml serving, which is 20% of the Daily Value. The amounts in the blend are not listed in the material we reviewed.
The complete Supplement Facts panel is printed on the bottle label, and customer support can share details. Our post on where to find the Supplement Facts explains how to read it.
