Is Super Tea Leaf Ultra Slim Safe To Take?
Question: I have turners syndrome, and I am gaining wait really fast and I am finding it very hard to loose it. I would like to try a detox tea called Super Tea Leaf Ultra Slim. The ingredients consist of Senna leaf, Whorled mallow leaf, Persimmon leaf, Papaya leaf, Loquat leaf. I did some research on senna leaf and found that it may cause unwanted side effects. I am pretty tolerant of cramps and pains, but I do not want to try it if it will pose problems in the long term. Is it safe for me to use this tea?
Brief Answer:
Is it safe to use Super Tea Leaf Ultra Slim
Detailed Answer:
I congratulate you for wanting to lose weight! However, Super Tea Leaf Ultra Slim is not, in my opinion, a good option for you.
One of the ingredients is citrus aurantium, a compound similar to ephredrine or synephrine, both chemicals known to stimulate the heart. You do not want to play with your heart like this with Turners Syndrome
It also contains Senna leaf which can cause cramping and severe diarrhea with possible dehydration, and electrolyte disturbances.
You may use green tea without caffeine, clear, 4x per day just before any type of exercise and you will burn more kcals and it has an ability to stimulate your metabolism without causing a load on your heart.
Then, reduce portions, eat balanced diet, drink clear green tea. To summarize, the detox tea called Super Tea Ultra Slim, is not an option for you with Turners Syndrome.
