The product also has five caffeine-containing ingredients (guarana, oolong tea, green tea, matcha tea, yerba mate). SkinnyFit contains dandelion leaf which is known to have a laxative effect. While it is true that the product does not contain senna leaves, it does still have ingredients that are known to exert a laxative effect on the body. SkinnyFit claims that it is not a laxative because it doesn’t contain senna leaves. SkinnyFit makes a number of health claims, but is there any truth to them? The SkinnyFit website claims it is packed with a variety of vitamins and minerals yet, on the product ingredient label, it debunks itself by stating that there is no vitamin A, C, calcium, or iron (presumably due to the relatively tiny amount of peach powder in each tea bag). Peach powder is presumably used as a flavouring agent. Stevia is a plant-based sweetener used in a variety of food and drinks but without the calories. Similar to yerba mate, guarana can increase your heart rate and blood pressure.
Guarana contains the central nervous system stimulants caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine. Dandelion Leafĭandelion leaves may have a mild diuretic and laxative effect. Nettle LeafĪntioxidant-rich nettle leaf (urtica dioica) may reduce inflammation, treat enlarged prostate symptoms, lower blood pressure, and improve hay fever symptoms. Lemongrass may improve digestive tract spasms and relieve stomach aches. Ginseng is known to have a number of health-promoting effects, including improved blood sugar control, mood, and brain function.ĭifferent types of ginseng have different effects, but it’s not known what type is used in SkinnyFit. Silymarin, the active ingredient in milk thistle, is high in antioxidants and may help improve blood sugar levels in those with diabetes, aid indigestion, or help ease symptoms in people with liver disease. Goji BerriesĪntioxidant-rich goji berries may offer a variety of health benefits, such as improved blood sugar and insulin control for people with diabetes, improved mood, and eye health.
Oolong tea contains caffeine which might make you feel more alert. Green tea contains caffeine which could give you a feeling of pep and possibly suppress your appetite. Yerba mate contains caffeine and other central nervous system stimulants that affect the brain, heart, blood vessels. Matcha has been marketed as a “fat fighter” but variability in research methodologies has yielded disparate results regarding weight loss and weight maintenance. Like other green teas, it contains the antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) which may have protective effects against cancer. Matcha green tea contains caffeine but tends to be a more gentle high compared to coffee. Skinnyfit PubMed Research Results Matcha Green Tea To my knowledge, I am unaware of any published scientific research on SkinnyFit tea and any associated benefits.Ī search of the PubMed database resulted in zero search results. So it is not known if the small amounts of ingredients found in SkinnyFit tea would necessarily provide all the same health benefits. Many of the studies conducted on each isolated ingredient used much higher dosages and were consumed in pill form, not tea. The SkinnyFit website claims it has “13 metabolism-boosting superfoods.”īut before we go on, it’s important to understand that each 13 ingredients are mixed/dispersed into a single 1.7g tea bag. SkinnyFit claims to be laxative-free, all-natural, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and non-gmo.

Skinnyfit Detox tea is marketed with claims that it has “13 powerful metabolism-boosting superfoods” that can “reduce fat” and “fight bloating.”īut what exactly IS Skinnyfit tea anyway? Is it healthy? Is it safe? What do each of the ingredients do? And, most importantly, does it work? Can SkinnyFit really “ detox” you, help you fight fat, and reduce bloating?
