After discovering slendertox tea on Instagram I was curious to try it out for myself! Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be sent a 14 day Teatox kit by Slendertox, so I’m really grateful to them for that.
The first thing I noticed about was that the tea came in teabags which is super handy as many other teatox brands only provide you with loose tea which can be a bit of a pain!
Within the 14 day slendertoxtea pack there are two different tea’s to consume. One is called ‘daytox’ which contains 14 teabags and you drink one of these as soon as you wake up every morning for the 14 day period. The second pack is called ‘sleeptox ’ which contains 7 teabags as you only drink one of these tea’s every other night. Both are made from completely natural and organic ingredients, so I was confident I wasn’t putting any rubbish into my body!
For those of you who are interested about the contents of the teatox:
DAYTOX INGREDIENTS:
Hawthorn Grain, Red Bean, Sterling Bean, Radish Leaf, Camellia Seed, Camellia Flower, Green Tea, Fennel Seeds.
SLEEPTOX INGREDIENTS:
Valerian Root, Large Hawthorn, Red Bean, Sterling Bean, Green Tea, Radish Leaf, Camellia Seed, Fennel Seeds, Camellia Flower.
As a basic guideline, all you have to do is put one of the teabags into a cup or mug and fill with warm water (the instructions suggest you do not use boiling) and leave it between 3-5 minutes before throwing the teabag in the bin. I would advise you not to leave it in any longer than instructed. (You will find out why below…)
I successfully completed the entire 14 days and I must say that I was super happy with the taste, as I have previously tried another teatox and found the taste unbearable. The taste of slendertoxtea is not too strong which makes it very drinkable. As I am not a massive hot drink lover the taste is an important factor for me, especially when if I know I will be drinking it every single day for 2 weeks!
It is recommended that you start the teatox on the weekend or on a day off so that your body can get used to the side effects. What side effects I hear you ask? The website clearly states that the only noticeable side effects you may get from the teatox are those associated with a laxative effect, this can include cramping and increased visits to the toilet (too much information?!) but should not include diarrhea, vomiting, severe cramping or dizziness. If this is the case, then you should stop drinking the tea immediately.
These side effects depend on the strength of your teatox and how long you leave the teabag to brew in the hot water for. I would be lying if I said that I did not suffer from these side effects and at times the cramping was pretty painful which was annoying because as a teacher I cannot leave the classroom and pop to the loo as I wish. At times I had to wait long periods of time until break, lunch or even after school before I could ‘go’! There were also a few occasions where I had to literally run to the bathroom – much to my boyfriend’s amusement! I think the side effects of the teatox also made it more difficult to exercise as you do tend to feel a bit more ‘loose’ than normal! Towards the end of the teatox I did not experience any serious cramping although trips to the loo were still more frequent than usual.
Ugh, too much toilet talk. Let’s move on.
Despite the side effects, I really enjoyed slendertoxtea. During the 14 day period I exercised a maximum of three times but stuck to the Slimming World diet plan throughout and I managed to lose 3 pounds! This may not sound like a lot of weight but I did also feel far less bloated and my stomach did look flatter. I felt like my body had a really good cleanse and got rid of all the unhealthy food I had eaten over Christmas from my system.
I would definetly recommend giving this teatox a go - try not to let the toilet business put you off as I’m sure everyone reacts differently anyway! If you do experience any of the side effects you can always just stop drinking the tea!
You can purchase Slendertoxtea here for £19.99.

Lots of love,
