Part of our Aeroslim overview. Last checked October 28, 2026.
Aeroslim supplements ingredients, according to the vendor label, are vitamin D3 (20 mcg) and a 500 mg proprietary blend of umckaloabo, ivy leaf, mullein, coltsfoot, serratiopeptidase and peppermint oil.[1] That is a cough and airway formula, not a weight-loss one. The blend hides every individual dose, so 500 mg split six ways averages about 83 mg each, with the real split unknown. Other ingredients are xylitol, microcrystalline cellulose, natural flavoring and magnesium stearate.
Aeroslim ingredients at a glance
Six of the seven actives are respiratory ingredients, and only vitamin D3 has a disclosed amount. We graded each one on human evidence for any use and for weight loss, from PubMed and European Medicines Agency (EMA) monographs read October 28, 2026.
| Ingredient | Role claimed or known use | Amount disclosed? | Evidence grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) | Vitamin; vendor ties it to weight | Yes, 20 mcg (100% DV) | Limited for weight: no significant change |
| Umckaloabo (Pelargonium sidoides root) | Bronchitis and cold symptoms | No | Moderate for bronchitis; none for weight |
| Ivy leaf (Hedera helix) | Cough | No | Limited for cough; none for weight |
| Mullein (Verbascum thapsus leaf) | Traditional cough herb | No | Weak; none for weight |
| Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara flower) | Traditional cough herb | No | Avoid: liver risk, no trials |
| Serratiopeptidase | Enzyme for swelling and mucus | No | Weak; none for weight |
| Peppermint essential oil | Flavor, digestion | No | Weak; none for weight |
What is in each ingredient, and what does research say?
Each blend ingredient has some human research, but all of it is about airways, swelling or digestion, and none of it measures weight. Here is what each one is, what the trials found and how the studied dose compares with the label.
Umckaloabo (Pelargonium sidoides)
A South African root extract used for respiratory infections. A Cochrane review found a liquid extract (EPs 7630) eased acute bronchitis symptoms in adults and children, but tablets did not show the same effect, and evidence quality was low to very low.[2] The EMA dose is 60 mg a day of dry extract for up to a week. Aeroslim gives no dose and no extract type. Weight loss: no human trial found.
Ivy leaf (Hedera helix)
An expectorant for productive cough. A 2021 systematic review found three trials with faster cough relief, but called the effects "minimal at best and of uncertain clinical importance", with high risk of bias.[3] EMA doses run from 42 to 300 mg a day depending on the extract. The only weight-related paper is a fat-cell study in a dish.[4] No human weight data.
Mullein (Verbascum thapsus)
A traditional sore-throat and cough herb. The EMA accepts only mullein flower tea, as traditional use, and noted a lack of clinical studies. Aeroslim uses the leaf, which falls outside that monograph. The human trials we found were ear drops in children, not anything swallowed.[5] A PubMed search for mullein and weight loss returned nothing.
Coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara)
A traditional cough flower with no human clinical trial for any condition. It contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) such as senkirkine and senecionine, which can damage the liver.[6] The label gives no dose and does not say the extract is tested for PAs. Weight data is limited to lab work on an enzyme. We grade it avoid.
Serratiopeptidase
An enzyme from bacteria, sold for swelling. A systematic review of 24 studies found poor methods and called the evidence "insufficient to support its use as an analgesic and health supplement".[7] Two small Japanese airway studies used 30 mg a day. A search for serratiopeptidase and weight loss returned no results.
Peppermint essential oil
Mostly a flavoring here. The NIH's NCCIH says oil research is mostly about irritable bowel syndrome, and there is not enough evidence that peppermint helps other conditions.[8] No weight-loss trial.
Vitamin D3
The only disclosed dose: 20 mcg, or 800 IU. A meta-analysis of randomized trials found small BMI and waist changes but no significant weight loss (0.43 kg, p = 0.17).[9] It sits well under the 4,000 IU adult upper limit set by the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.
How transparent is the Aeroslim formula?
Not very. The label names every ingredient, which is better than some products, but the 500 mg proprietary blend hides how much of each one you get.[1] If the six shared it evenly, each would be about 83 mg; in practice one could be most of the blend and another a trace. The label also leaves out extract ratios, serratiopeptidase activity units and any statement on PA testing for the coltsfoot.
The sales page calls this a "proprietary formula of 6 strong weight-management ingredients" and then lists seven names.[10] Some third-party pages describe Aeroslim as a capsule. Trust the label on the bottle: a chewable tablet, 30 per bottle, as read on October 28, 2026. Xylitol is one of the other ingredients, so keep bottles away from dogs.
Ingredient safety and interactions
The two ingredients that matter most for safety are coltsfoot and serratiopeptidase. Coltsfoot's PAs can harm the liver, and umckaloabo carries its own EMA liver warning, so the blend holds two liver-flagged herbs.[6] Serratiopeptidase breaks down fibrin, so anyone on blood thinners, or facing surgery, should ask a doctor first; that caution comes from how it works, as no interaction study exists.[7] Ivy can upset the stomach and cause allergic reactions. Umckaloabo and ivy are not recommended in pregnancy. The full list is in our Aeroslim side effects guide, and timing tips are in how to take Aeroslim.
Do these ingredients prove Aeroslim works?
No. No study has tested Aeroslim, and no blend ingredient has a human weight-loss trial. The vendor's 11 references include neither.[11] The respiratory findings cannot be applied to the tablet either, since the doses are hidden. Our Aeroslim weight loss guide explains the "breathe out fat" claim and the vitamin D data. If you want to try it anyway, the 60-day refund applies (checked October 28, 2026), and our legitimacy check covers the seller.

Frequently asked questions
What is in the Aeroslim formula?
The label lists vitamin D3 20 mcg and a 500 mg proprietary blend of umckaloabo root, ivy leaf, mullein leaf, coltsfoot flower, serratiopeptidase and peppermint oil. Other ingredients are xylitol, microcrystalline cellulose, natural flavoring and magnesium stearate.
Does Aeroslim contain caffeine or stimulants?
No stimulant appears on the label, and the vendor describes the formula as stimulant-free. The blend is made of cough and airway herbs, an enzyme and peppermint oil, plus vitamin D3. That has not been checked by an independent lab.
Is Aeroslim a capsule or a tablet?
The vendor label describes a chewable tablet, 30 per bottle, taken once a day. Some third-party pages call it a capsule. Trust the label on the bottle you receive, as we read it on October 28, 2026.
Why is coltsfoot a concern in Aeroslim?
Coltsfoot contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which can damage the liver. Aeroslim does not disclose how much coltsfoot is in each tablet or say whether the extract is tested for these compounds. People with liver disease, children and pregnant women should avoid it.
Is Aeroslim safe for dogs to get into?
No. Xylitol is listed among the other ingredients, and xylitol is dangerous for dogs. Keep the bottle closed and out of reach of pets, and call a veterinarian at once if a dog eats any tablets.
