Batch verify
Verify Your Slim Metrix Bottle and Batch
Check four things before the first capsule: an unbroken seal, a 30-capsule label, a Supplement Facts panel that matches this site, and a lot number and best-before date printed on the bottle. The seller's lot reference is SLI-26/SL-6736. It is a reference code, not a lab result, so call the order desk if anything does not match.

The quick check
How do you verify a Slim Metrix batch?
You compare your bottle with the label facts and write down its codes. Nobody has published a lab test for a batch, so your own check is the best one available.
The brand's Supplement Facts graphic decides what should be in the bottle (Slim Metrix label graphic). It is a brand graphic, not a photo of a real bottle, and it shows no lot number, best-before date or company name. Those can only be read on the bottle in your hand.
Why bother? Weight-loss supplements as a group have a record of problems. NIH notes that some were found to contain prescription drugs not listed on the label (NIH ODS: weight-loss supplements (consumer fact sheet)). Checking your bottle cannot detect that, but it does catch the simpler failures: a broken seal, a wrong count or a label that does not match the panel.

Step by step
What are the steps to check a Slim Metrix bottle?
Four checks, about two minutes. Scroll through them; the picture follows along.
- 01
Check the seal and count
Before opening, make sure the seal under the cap is whole. The label should read Dietary Supplement, 30 Capsules.
- 02
Find the lot and date
Look on the base or the label for a lot number and a best-before date. Write both down; you will need them for any call.
- 03
Match the panel
Compare the Supplement Facts with this site: zinc 5.5 mg, chromium 0.05 mg, a 276 mg blend of eight ingredients, and no cinnamon.
- 04
Call if anything is off
Do not take a capsule from a bottle that fails a check. Call the order desk with your order ID and the lot number.
See every line of the panel on the Supplement Facts page.
The seller's codes
What do lot SLI-26/SL-6736 and CoA SLI-6736-26-SL mean?
They are reference codes the seller gave for a batch and its certificate of analysis. They are not lab proof, and the certificate itself is not published.
A lot number links a bottle to one production run. A certificate of analysis is the test report for that run. Without the report, the code only tells you that a batch has a name. No image we have shows a lot or best-before date on a real bottle, so we cannot say whether yours will carry the same code.
A different lot number on your bottle is not by itself a red flag. Batches change. What matters is that a code is printed at all, and that the order desk can tell you about it. Our testing and quality page explains what a full certificate should list.
"Which lot is my order from, and can you send the certificate of analysis for it, with the lab's name?" Call +1 (855) 482-1597 or email [email protected].
Your order
How do you confirm a Slim Metrix order is genuine?
Use the order email and the BuyGoods order lookup. Checkout for Slim Metrix runs through BuyGoods, the retailer named on the sales page (Sales page, quickslimstep.com/frt).
Your confirmation email holds the order ID. You can look up a BuyGoods order at lookup.buygoods.com. If an order did not come through that checkout, the order desk may not be able to find it, and the 60-day refund may not apply.
- Keep the confirmation email and the tracking number.
- Match the pack you paid for (2, 3 or 6 bottles) with what arrived.
- Keep every bottle, even empty ones: the sales page asks for the containers back for a refund.

If it does not match
What if your Slim Metrix bottle does not match the label?
Do not take it. Set the bottle aside and call the order desk at +1 (855) 482-1597 with your order ID.
Photograph it
Take clear photos of the seal, the front label, the Supplement Facts and the lot code.
Write it down
Note your order ID, the lot number, the best-before date and what looks wrong.
Call first
Ask the desk what to do. If you return it, use the address the desk confirms; the sales page lists Aurora, CO.
A label that lists cinnamon, more than one capsule a day, or a different serving size is a mismatch. Slim Metrix has no cinnamon, and the label dose is one capsule a day.
After you open it
How should you store Slim Metrix capsules?
The label graphic does not give storage directions. Store it closed, somewhere cool and dry, out of children's reach.
Use the capsules before the best-before date printed on your bottle. If the capsules look damp, stuck together, cracked or a different color from the first ones you took, stop and call the desk with the lot number.
One bottle lasts 30 days at one capsule a day. If you bought several bottles, open them one at a time and keep the empties for the refund window. If you take any medicine, read the interactions table before the first capsule.
FAQ
Questions about checking a Slim Metrix bottle
How do I check if my Slim Metrix is real?
Check that the seal is whole, the label says 30 capsules, the capsules are purple and the Supplement Facts match this site, including the 276 mg blend and no cinnamon. Then confirm your order ID with the BuyGoods lookup or the order desk at +1 (855) 482-1597.
Where is the lot code printed on a Slim Metrix bottle?
Usually on the base or the label, next to the best-before date. The brand graphic does not show one, so we cannot point to the exact spot. If you cannot find any code, call the order desk before you take a capsule.
Is SLI-26/SL-6736 a lab test result?
No. It is the lot reference the seller gave, linked to the certificate reference SLI-6736-26-SL. The certificate itself is not published, so the code does not prove what was tested. Ask the order desk for the certificate for your lot.
What if my Slim Metrix seal is broken?
Do not take any capsules from it. Photograph the seal and the label, keep the bottle, and call +1 (855) 482-1597 with your order ID. The sales page asks for containers to be returned for a refund, so do not throw it away.
Does Slim Metrix expire?
Your bottle should carry a best-before date; check it before use. The brand graphic shows no date or storage line, so the bottle in your hand is the only place to read it. Keep it closed, cool and dry.
Is Slim Metrix sold on Amazon?
We cannot vouch for any seller other than the official order links on this site, which lead to the sales page with BuyGoods checkout. A bottle bought elsewhere may not be covered by the 60-day refund, and its lot cannot be checked against your order.
Can I return a Slim Metrix bottle that looks wrong?
Yes, within the 60-day window, per the sales page. Call +1 (855) 482-1597 first with your order ID and lot number, then use the return address the desk confirms; the sales page lists Aurora, CO. Return the containers, even if empty, and use a tracked service.
