How much weight can you lose with Meizitang Botanical?
So far people who are taking the pills are reporting very impressive weight loss rates. Considerably more than most other natural products. Actually, the weight loss is on par with many prescription drugs, with one customer reporting losing 11 pounds in 10 days.
How does Meizitang Botanical work?
There are a number of different natural ingredients included in the product and these are:-
Xian Xian Cao (Siegesbeckia Plant) - This shrub is often used in Chinese medicine to help with insomnia, irritability, liver, headache and dizziness. As great as this sounds, there doesn’t appear to be any information about Xian Xian Cao helping with weight loss.
Job’s Tears – This is a type of grass which is said to help with weight loss, lowering cholesterol, arthritis and warts however there appears to be little to no actual evidence to back up these claims.
Artemisia dracunculua (Tarragon or dragon’s-wort) – This is a perennial herb which is said to help calm the nerves and deal with insomnia. It’s also said that Tarragon helps to stimulate appetite and act as a mild laxative.
Psyllium Husk – This plant is native to Asia and the seeds are often used as a natural laxative. You will often see this ingredient in weight loss products however it shouldn’t be take over the long-term. It’s generally advised that Psyllium Husk should only ever be taken by those who are suffering from constipation and it’s effects of long-term use haven’t been studied.
Bamboo Shoot – Of course, the favourite food of Pandas. There seems to be little information about how Bamboo shoots can help with weight loss, other than the fact that it’s low in calories.
Lotus leaf – It’s said that the Lotus leaf can help with weight loss due to it’s diuretic properties. So if you do lose weight, then it might only be water weight you are losing as opposed to fat loss.
Are there any side-effects of Meizitang Botanical slimming pills?
The vast majority of folks taking this product haven’t had a problem with side-effects however there have been a number of people reporting the following:-
- Dry mouth
- Sleeplessness
- Headaches
- Weakness
- Out of breath
Is Meizitang Botanical a scam?
To be honest, this product just seems to good to be true. And you know what they say “if it sounds too good to be true it usually is.”
For what is supposed to be a 100% natural product, the weight loss seems to be very quick. Also, there doesn’t seem to be any kind of medical backing or studies carried out on the ingredients or the product.
If you look at the list of “tainted” weight loss products published by the FDA, you will see that Meizitang is listed. Basically, the FDA found that numerous slimming products included “undisclosed” ingredients such as Sibutramine, phenytoin, phenolphthalein and bumetanide. These are pharmaceutical drugs which could cause serious harm to your health.
“These tainted weight loss products pose a great risk to public health because they contain undeclared ingredients and, in some cases, contain prescription drugs in amounts that greatly exceed their maximum recommended dosages,” said Janet Woodcock, M.D., director, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, FDA.
Conclusion
Be very careful about the products you buy. Losing weight should be done in a healthy manner and it’s quite clear that Meizitang Botanical slimming pills will help you lose weight but potentially be putting your health at risk.
It just doesn’t make sense that there are people losing so much weight on the ingredients that are supposed to be included.
Unfortunately, there are still many products on the market which are potentially very harmful to your health including Fruta Planta and 2 Day Diet.
Basically, when researching slimming pill, if you see any of the following side-effects, there’s a good chance it contains one of the pharmaceutical drugs warned about by the FDA. These symptoms are:
- Dry mouth
- Headaches
- Sleeplessness
- Anxiety
- Panic attacks
However some people suffer similar symptoms with products that contain caffeine. For instance Zotrim contains Yerba Mate and Guarana which both naturally have caffeine in it. A day’s worth of Zotrim is the equivalent of a cup of coffee.
As a result, there are people who have problems with caffeine and they experience similar symptoms of sleeplessness, increased heart rate and dry mouth.
It just goes to show how complex the world of slimming is and how you really need to be wary of products that seem too good to be true.

I hope you do well with these slimming pills, but obviously I can’t recommend them due to the issues with the FDA. Good luck anyway.
Hi, I just started taking the Botanical Slimming capsules today (08/06/10), I experienced dry mouth all day so I’ve been drinking alot of water. I will update in a week with results.
I started taking Meizitang June 1, 2010 and I have lost 25 pounds and was a size 14 which was tight and now I am a size 10 and comfortable. I have only experienced the dry mouth and drink lots of water about 70 – 90 ounces a day. I still eat my three meals a day and have noticed my skin has is NOT sagging. Everyone says I look great. I have tried just about every diet plan out there along with working out and nothing has worked like Meizitang. I will post again when I complete my weight loss.
Ive been taking the botanical slimming pills since July and only lost about 9 pounds. Everyone and their mothers are taking them in my home town and recently was told that these pills carrys a narcartic in them. One guy I know order them online and when the package arrived the box was empty but in it was a letter from customs stating that the pills have a narcartic. ONe other girl I know tried crossing them from mexico and also had them taking aways from customs. Im taking a drug test from work soon and scared that im going to come out positive now. Does anyone know how true this is… Im hoping it just another rumor
Hi Sassy, how often did you weigh yourself and could you tell me what types of foods were you eating?
I have been taking botanical slimming pills since June 1st and have lost a total of 26 lbs , I started at a size 16/18 and now am fitting a 12/14…I don’t have the dry mouth everyday but I am constipated quite a bit…I still eat every meal just less as I get full faster. I ordered 5 more packs today not sure how long is to long to be on them, so I will try a couple more months.
i am thinking should i buy this product for slimming purpose? but i afraid of side-effects on my health. any suggestion?
The problem with Meizitang is that you really don’t know what you’re buying so if you’re at all worried it’s probably best to stay away from these pills. There are other slimming products on the market that don’t have side-effects such as Proactol, Capsiplex, SlimWeight Patch and Zotrim.
I had the lapband 2 years ago. Can I take this pill to assist. I just need to lose 40 lbs.
Ruby, I think you’d be better off asking your doctor about that. Sorry I can’t be more of help.
so i bought these and omgg. i absolutely adore it. im in a size 6/7 but i want to be in a size 4 again. so i only bought one pack and i run evry morining. its a great aide thats cheapish. i bought mine off of kanacasseceret.com and mine was not takin from customs?…i really do like this and i dont expirence any of these side effects.
Hi, I´m taking Meizitang Botanical Slimming 3 days ago. I had dry mouth, Headaches and Out of breath… is this normal the first week? Can I still taking this pills?
Ana, it’s really up to you to decide what you want to do. The FDA has already warned people against taking Meizitang pills because of hidden prescription drugs in them. There are other products available that are more expensive but don’t contain any hidden ingredients and are generally free of side-effects. UniqueHoodia, Zotrim, Proactol, SlimWeight Patch and Capsiplex are probably the best alternatives.
