Will Slimquick lessen the effectiveness of contraceptives (Kariva - Pill)?
Please no "yes" or "no", I need a "yes" or "no" with ONLINE sources linked in your answer.

Just to add some quick details:
I know nothing is 100% except for abstinence.
Please no lectures on diet pills and working out and eating habits.

No - it will not lessen the effectiveness of contraceptives.
Looking through the list of ingredients, linked below, slimquick is basically nothing but caffeine, vitamins, and extracts of green tea and soy. The 'hormone balancing complex' is just soy, which doesn't impact contraception, and chaste tree. The 'cortifem' bit is mostly just more soy ingredients (which they usually mispelled). Beta-Sitosterol (which they've also mispelled) reduces cholesterol, slightly.
The main ingredient to watch out for is the chaste tree, because it probably -does- have an effect on hormone levels, but so far as I can tell, probably not enough of one to make a difference (see link below). You might want to look through the articles on Vitex agnus castus in pubmed (peer reviewed medical literature), though - that's also linked below.
