Slim Crystal water bottles have become quite popular due to claims that drinking just 67 oz of this healing mineral-infused water can improve your health and also help you lose some excess flab too. So does this revitalized water live up to the hype? What are the special crystals the company uses and if you try this slimming water and don't feel it's right for you, how do you get a refund? Let's evaluate the claims and evidence and see what's up.
Water Is Important – Very Important
The human body – and that includes yours too – is between 50% to 70% water by weight. Weightlifters often consume large amounts of protein but many are unaware that muscle cells are over 75% water. Water serves many purposes such as:
- maintaining proper body temperate
- providing a medium for all chemical reactions to occur
- cushioning and lubricating all of the 350 joints in your body
- helping with detoxification
- is the main ingredient in blood
Water is so important that if you did not drink any fluids, you would die after about one week!
You May Be Dehydrated & Not Know It
We are losing water all the time in several different ways. For example, breathing, sweating and urination all lead to fluid loss from the body.
You've probably heard that adults should consume eight 8 oz glasses of water daily. While that may be generally true, knowing how much water you should consume daily isn't so cut and dry. The amount of fluid you need consume can depend on several things, such as
- The temperature of your environment.
- Exercising regularly?
- Are you sick? Diarrhea and vomiting dehydrate people quickly.
- Pregnancy generally increases the need for fluids. Same thing if breastfeeding.
Clinical dehydration is a loss of 2% of body fluids. While this is difficult to occur for most healthy people, some people may be subclinically dehydrated. In other words, they may not feel any symptoms – but it's still not a good situation to be in.
Dehydration also reduces metabolic rate, which can make it harder to lose weight. This also reduces how well you can exercise too. Lack of adequate fluids can make exercise seem harder than it really is and cause your heart to beat irregularly.
People over age 60 are particularly at risk of being dehydrated because the sensation of thirst sometimes declines as we get older. In other words, older folks don't get thirsty as often as younger people do. This can lead to low blood volume, which can raise the risk of falls, a major killer in the older adult population.
The blood is about 90% water. Blood that has less water raises the risk of blood clots. Not only that, when researchers assessed the fluid concentration of blood in middle-aged adults, they noticed that peope with less fluid in their blood not only had an elevated risk of coagulation but also more inflammation and an increased risk of degenerative diseases such as dementia and heart disease 24 years later.
Urine Color and Dehydration
You can't always look at the color of your urine to determine if you are dehydrated or not. Sometimes dehydration occurs before there is a change in urine color. And even if your urine does look darker, that may not always signal you're lacking in fluids. Some medications and supplements can change urine color. For example, riboflavin, popular in multivitamins, is well-known for changing pee color to yellow. Beets and beet supplements contain compounds called betalains which can transform the color of urine to orange or red.
What Are Slim Crystal Water Bottles?
The name implies that drinking water from this mineral-infused water bottle will improve your health, and digestion and help promote safe weight loss. There are two parts to SlimCrystal water bottles
1 The water bottle
2 The crystals
When you order, you get both items. Add some of the healing crystals to the bottom chamber of the bottle to reap the benefits. The nine different types of revitalizing crystals you get are as follows.
Amethyst | Clear Quartz | Moonstone |
Citrine | Carnelian | Sodalite |
Red Agate | Red Jasper | Green Aventurine |
These nine crystals are said to be “primarily responsible for weight loss.” The crystals are said raise oxygen levels to slim the body and promote weight loss by accelerating metabolism.
As the water fills the bottle, it spreads around the crystals, allowing them to release their minerals into the water. These minerals probably raise the pH of the water, making it more alkaline.
This new, mineral-infused water enriches the beverage with added nutrients and electrolytes that may enhance your health. According to believers in the metaphysical power of crystals, here is a short list of the benefits of the healing crystals used in Slim Crystal water bottles:
- Amethyst: calming, detoxification, reduce overeating
- Citrine: anti-depression, balancing of emotions, stimulates digestion
- Red Agate: promoting vitality and energizer of the body
- Clear Quartz: supports concentration and memory
- Carnelian: Balancing energy levels, encouraging well being
- Red Jasper: aiding self-confidence, supporting emotions and mental clarity
- Moonstone: opens the heart Chakra and balances emotions
- Sodalite: supports immunity and metabolism
- Green Aventurine: supports calmness and wellbeing
Crystal Vibration Benefits
Here's were things get complicated. All matter in the universe – including you – is made up of atoms and other subatomic particles. The simple explanation is that the atom is surrounded by electrons that circle it, just as planets circle the sun. However, it is more complicated than this. The electrons don't just circle atoms, rather that engulf them like a cloud. The interaction between the protons, nutrons, electrons, quarks and other subatomic particles are in a state of flux. This constant state of flux or extremely tiny movements gives off vibrational electromagnetic energy that occurs at different frequencies. You can't see or feel them move, yet this is occurring. The vibrational frequencies are measured in hertz (Hz), which is cycles (movements) per second. Kilohertz (kHz) refers to thousands of movements per second, while megahertz (MHz) refers to millions of movements per second.
Some feel that the frequencies at which the minerals vibrate add extra health benefits to the liquid they are associated with. Here are the approximate vibrational frequencies for each of the SlimCrystals:
- Amethyst: 30 kHz
- Citrine is a 25 MHz to 160 MHz
- Red Agate: 0.7 MHz
- Clear Quartz: 33 kHz
- Carnelian: 432 Hz
- Red Jasper: 396 Hz
- Moonstone: 210 Hz
- Sodalite: 432 Hz
- Green Aventurine: 32.8 kHz
While popular in the world of alternative medicine, there is little clinical proof for the therapeutic effects of gemstone crystal frequencies improving human health.
Slim Crystal Water Bottle Proof
If you look at the official website for this product, it's pretty straightforward. But one thing that cannot be uncovered is clinical research on SlimCrystal water bottles. That said, some research suggests that a lack of specific mineral combinations may promote health, and imbalances in these minerals encourage obesity.
Some have discussed a SlimCrystal clinical trial involving 212 overweight men and women who drank SlimCrystal water or a regular placebo water bottle for 30 days. It is stated that those using the SlimCrystal revitalized water lost between 5 and 7 pounds in a month, while those drinking from regular water bottles lost only 0.7 pounds. After drinking the crystal water for six months, those same people are said to have lost between 27 and 34 pounds! This sounds very impressive. However, the research study documenting these claims cannot be located. Where is this study published? Likewise, some have maintained the this special water is more alkaline. While this is indeed possible, the proof cannot be located.
Water is the universal solvent and does contain minerals that it picks up from the rocks it flows over. In their basic form, crystals are rocks. So it's possible that minerals from Slim Crystals might fuse with water. The amount of crystals infusing into water might vary according to how long the crystals were in contact with water, the pH of the liquid as well as the hardness of the crystal itself.
The Mohs Hardness Scale is a ranking from 1 to 10 where stones at the lower end are very hard and those at the higher end are softer. Harder minerals can easily scratch softer minerals. Softer crystals would be expected to give off more minerals than harder stones. All of the Slim Crystals have Mohs ratings of between 6 and 7, meaning they are relatively softer and more likely to release their essence in liquids like water.
What is the Cost of Slim Crystal Water Bottles?
When the company's website was last checked, one slim water bottle retailed for $117. If you order two bottles, the price drops to $97 each. Strangely the company did not do their math. For the two-bottle option, they list a total price of $197. However, $97 x two equals $194. Why are they charging $3 extra?
If you order one water bottle, tack on an additional $9.95 for shipping. However, when you order two bottles, the shipping is free.
Free Premium Bonus Gifts
Purchasing one slim crystal bottle also entitles you this free gift:
Slimming Crystal Bracelet – the bracelet is said to increase your chances of receiving the healing effects of the crystal water bottle liquid.
When you order two bottles, you also get these additional free gifts as well:
Slim Over 55 Program – designed for people who need to lose at least 15 pounds.
Healthy Fat Loss Deserts Cookbook and Videos – 35 easy-to-make recipes and instructional videos.
57 Secretes to Reverse Aging – This is an ebook containing tactics that people have used to improve their energy and look younger.
How Big Are SlimCrystal Water Bottles?
Each bottle can hold up to 18.6 oz (550 ml) of water. This is just a wee bit more than a pint. The company suggests drinking four full bottles of slimming water daily to support your weight loss efforts. That comes to about 76 oz each day. Don't drink the water all at once. Rather spread it out during the day.
The Slim Crystal company states that most people start to lose weight after the 3rd week, but if you miss a day, you will need to start over again. This is confusing. If they are suggesting that skipping one day of drinking water nullifies all the other days you stuck with the program, they are wrong. If you accidentally forget your SlimCrystal water bottle, don't feel guilty and worry about it. Start again the next day.
Slim Crystal Customer Reviews. Before & After Pictures
To their credit, the company does list the testimonials of happy customers on its website, along with before and after pictures too. There is more than can be listed here, so go to the official website to view them all.
Who Makes Slim Crystal Water Bottles?
Not much could be discovered about the company when this review was created. The website was registered on March 15, 2021, indicating that this may be a relatively new company. The word “SlimCrystal” is trademarked (serial # 90809997).
How Long Should You Use Slim Crystal Water Bottles?
You can continue using the water bottle for as long as you like. The company recommends giving it at least two months because if you feel improvements in your health, they won't occur overnight. Drinking at least one-half gallon of SlimCrystal water (2 liters) a day will also help spread the minerals through your body on a regular basis.
Water And Weight Loss
Several studies have documented that drinking more water daily can help people lose weight. In one such study, overweight people drinking 16 oz of water before meals ate less food and lost about 44% more weight over the course of 3 months than people who only ate fewer calories. Other studies have likewise shown similar results to drinking water before meals.
Slim Crystal Slimming Tea
For some people the company recommends combining the water bottle with slimming teas. The All Day Slimming Tea comes in two versions.
The Morning tea contains a combination of green tea, oolong tea, orange peel, Lemongrass, ginger, Dandelion leaves, Ginseng Root, Garcinia Cambogia, and Monk Fruit as well as natural mint and lemon flavors.
The Evening tea contains a combination of Senna leaves, Licorice root, peppermint leaves, Fennel fruit, Orange peel, Cinnamon bark, Dandelion Leaves, Lemongrass Ginger, and Monk fruit, as well as Natural honey and lemon flavors.
The company states that drinking their slimming teas will provide you with 10x the health benefits of the Slim Crystal water. As proof, the company states that all of the people who consumed the All-Day Slimming Tea from their Slim water bottles lost an average of 36 pounds over a three-month period. That comes to 3.6 pounds per month! Impressive. But where did this statistic come from? Are there clinical research studies on Slim bottles and slimming tea? If yes, it cannot be located by this reporter.
Tea is a healthy drink, with multiple studies showing it can reduce the risk of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. It may even have anti-aging effects. That said, my advice is to skip the slimming tea and drink your own homemade tea if you prefer.
What Are Slim Crystal Bottles Made Of?
The bottles are made of durable glass, which makes them very hard to damage. The water bottles contain bisphenol A (BPA) or related compounds such as BPS or BPF.
Slim Crystal Water Bottle Money Back Guarantee: The Good & Bad
If, after you make your purchase and test drive the Slim water bottle and decide it is not right for you, you have 60 days to get a refund if you are not happy. As long as the company receives your return by the 60th day, you can get your money back. Here are the steps to get a refund.
Email the company at Support@SlimCrystal.com. Tell them your name, email invoice, and order number. Also, include the reason why you want to send the water bottle back.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does crystal water taste different?
Neither the taste nor smell of your water will change.
How does Slim Crystal work?
The company maintains that the nine crystals speed up metabolism and raise oxygen levels in the body.
Which crystals promote weight loss?
Amethyst, sodalite, and citrine are primarily responsible for the weight loss and appetite impression effects, according to the company.
What Do I Suggest?
While getting enough water each day is important, the lack of proof SlimCrystal water will cause concern for those looking for a clinically proven weight loss solution. While it's quite possible Sliming Crystals provide minerals that can serve as electrolytes in the blood, are you lacking in those minerals? There is a mineral that many reading these words are not getting enough of, and that is magnesium. One supplement that can help fill that void is Magnesium Breakthrough by BioOptimizers. Magnesium takes part in over 350 biochemical reactions, and studies show many people are not getting enough of this critical mineral. Magnesium Breakthrough is a full-spectrum supplement containing seven different forms of magnesium, making it superior to other brands.
How To Return a Damaged Slim Crystal Water Bottle?
Here is where things get a little weird. The company does not offer refunds on damaged products. However, they still offer a way to get a refund. Suppose that the inner chamber (inner dome) of the water bottle was damaged when it was delivered to your home. Here's what to do.
First, email the company at Support@SlimCrystal.com. Tell customer service that the water bottle was damaged. Take a picture of the damaged part (such as the inner chamber) and attach that to your email.
The company will then send you a NEW inner chamber. You can easily replace the damaged part with the new chamber that the company sends you.
Since you now have an undamaged item, if you still would like a refund, the company can now start the refund procedure. See above for what to do.
Keep in mind, however, that refunds are not issued on water bottles that are damaged through normal wear and tear. For example, if you accidentally dropped the Slim water bottle and it broke (which is unlikely), you could not get a refund on that. This makes sense.

Carolyn Bowden says
Hi, Joe!
What’s your opinion on the EchoGo hydrogen water bottles? The bottle, once activated, increases hydrogen levels in your water. It’s claim is that this is the best water to drink. Your thoughts?
Joe says
Hi Carolyn, hydrogen is sometimes touted to to be better because is a natural antioxidant. I’m not familar with the EchoGo hydrogen water bottles but one question Id ask for is the evidence the bottles raise hydrogen levels and/or antioxidant levels in the body. Another question is whether drinking hydrogen water reduces the risk of disease. It’s worth remembering that all water contains hydrogen – H20
I once tried drinking hydrogen water for a month or so. I didn’t notice any differences.
For whatever its worth, that’s my two cents 🙂
Lori says
I was wondering if I have heart failure is it good for me or no ? Also you have to pay monthly after you get the bottle ???
Joe says
Hi Lori, there is no monthly payment that I am aware of. That said I’m skeptical about slim crystal water is any better than “regular” water.
