Somatox Teas are based out of the UK, and they offer a variety of options from weight loss teas, and detox teas to body scrubs and supplements. They sell mainly online, but they are in a few small boutiques and juicer’s around the country of England. While their website looks somewhat clean and put together, their customer service chat portal is undergoing technical difficulties, and they are not able to give me any attention. I am already thinking this is going to be a hassle, but lets see what their teas have to offer.

There is a reason why some of the ingredients are highlighted and bolder in red. The Senna leaf is a laxative, which has been known to cause upset stomachs, cramping, and diarrhea. This ingredient alone is a game changer for me, and I won’t go near it with a ten foot pole. To make matters worse you have the infamous Ashwangandha Root, which has been linked to woman having miscarriages, as well as it affecting and dropping blood sugar levels. Let’s take a further look into this company called, Somatox and their teas.
This company claims on its website that it packs more tea in than its competitors. If so, why are the serving sizes the same? “Packing more tea in our teabags than our competitors, our anti-oxidant-rich tea comes in three unique blends of carefully picked herbs to give you quicker and better results and to also enhance the taste for you to enjoy the tea experience.”
While it doesn’t surprise me that they put a laxative in their teas (quick weight loss, also known as water weight) they state on their website: “Somatox Tea may cause you to visit the bathroom more frequently. But this is a good thing, as it will flush out waste and bacteria.” It’s not a question of if, it is when you will be using the bathroom.
Due to the harmful effects of Ashwangandha they state on their site: “We strongly recommend that you do not take Somatox Tea or any other weight loss products if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.”
Somatox Tea Science
Nowhere on the website do they reference any scientific backing, or clinical trials that have been done to prove that this product is meant to help you lose weight. There is a laxative in the product, which will cause you to go to the bathroom, but it is not a good way to lose weight for long-term health.
Somatox Tea Effectiveness
Because this product is only sold on the website, it is protected from any outside reviews. This is another way to protect the company from anything negative, which in turn makes me assume the worst. With the controversial ingredients highlighted in red, I already know this product will cause stomach issues if not worse. I would say it would work for getting you to use the bathroom, but why spend all the money for this tea when you could just buy a cheap laxative?
Somatox Tea Side Effects
Yes, Senna leaves are known to cause stomach cramping, indigestion, and frequent trips to the bathroom just to name a few surface side effects. There are multiple more side effects that could occur from losing water weight fast, and that is dehydration. Because there were no outside reviews you will be taking a gamble if you invest your money in this tea.
Somatox Support
At first when I visited the site I was greeted by an instant message, but then found out that they were having technical difficulties. It does not mention a thing anywhere on the site about the return policy, and because England is in a different time zone I will have to wait more than 12 hours to get this question answered. This worries me that they do not have a return policy listed on the site, as this is one of the most important things for a customer to know.
Bottom Line
All in all with the controversial ingredients, the lack of customer service, and no insight to any studies done on why this product will help you lose weight I would say that it’s a huge gamble. The ingredients alone make me want to run and hide, let alone the shipping time, and lack of clarity about their return policy. It seems more of a headache than an actual good spend of money in the long run.
