HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super Dieter's Tea Lemon Mint by Laci Le Beau

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Super Dieter's Tea has two active ingredients: senna, a plant-based stimulant laxative that prompts bowel movements, and a stevia blend, a sweetener derived from the stevia plant. The tea also contains several inactive ingredients — lemon, lemon mint, orange, citric acid, spearmint, licorice, marshmallow, eleuthero, papaya, chrysanthemum, and Japanese honeysuckle — which serve as flavoring and other supporting ingredients in the tea bag.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports weight loss efforts and digestive health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, Constipation, Bowel preparation, weight management, metabolic support.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Senna is rated "Likely Effective" for Constipation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Senna is rated "Possibly Effective" for Bowel preparation.
  • Also on file: Stevia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity.

Senna is likely effective for constipation and possibly effective for bowel preparation before medical procedures. For stevia, the evidence we hold doesn't establish effectiveness in diabetes, high blood pressure, or weight loss — the data is insufficient to rate it for those purposes.

If you're using this tea primarily as a laxative, senna is the active ingredient doing that work.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Senna Stevia

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Senna is generally well tolerated when used short-term in standard doses, but it's not meant for long-term daily use without a doctor's approval — talk with your doctor before regular use. The most common side effects are abdominal pain and cramping, diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, and urine discoloration.

Rare serious effects include skin eruptions. Stevia appears well tolerated in typical amounts; minor effects like bloating, dizziness, headache, muscle aches, nausea, and numbness are uncommon and usually fade after a week.

Pregnancy and lactation safety data for the ingredients in this product is not on file — talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Senna, Stevia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; heart-rhythm medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 331 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this tea, double-check these medication types with the search tool: blood thinners like warfarin (Moderate), diuretics or water pills (Moderate), other stimulant laxatives (Moderate), digoxin heart medication (Moderate), lithium (Moderate), estrogens or birth control (Moderate), blood pressure medications (Minor), and diabetes drugs (Minor).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This tea is a laxative product best used short-term for occasional constipation, not every day. If you take warfarin, estrogen-based birth control or hormone therapy, diuretics, digoxin, lithium, blood pressure meds, or diabetes drugs, check them against our interaction tool first — senna and stevia can affect how these work.

Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before adding this to your routine, especially if you're on prescription medications.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Super Dieter's Tea Lemon Mint with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Stevia Blend3 drug types · 259 drugs

Lithium

Theoretically, stevia might decrease clearance and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stevia extracts might have diuretic activity. Theoretically, increased reabsorption of lithium along with sodium might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, stevia might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when combined with antidiabetes drugs.
Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes suggests that taking a single dose of stevia extract 1000 mg reduces postprandial blood glucose levels when taken with a meal. However, other clinical research in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes suggests that taking stevioside 250 mg three times daily does not significantly affect blood glucose levels or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) after three months of treatment.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, combining stevia or stevia constituents with antihypertensive agents might increase the risk of hypotension.
Stevia extract and stevioside might lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. However, other clinical research suggests that stevioside does not significantly lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Stevia Blend full monograph & interactions

Senna5 drug types · 140 drugs

Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, senna might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with digoxin.
Overuse/abuse of senna increases the risk of adverse effects from cardiac glycosides, such as digoxin, due to potassium depletion.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, senna might increase the risk of hypokalemia when taken with diuretic drugs.
Overuse of senna might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss and increase the risk for hypokalemia.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, taking senna may interfere with the absorption of exogenous estrogens.
Some preliminary clinical evidence suggests that senna reduces the absorption of estradiol and decreases serum concentrations of estrone and estrone sulfate by decreasing intestinal transit time.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Stimulant Laxatives

Theoretically, senna might increase the risk for fluid and electrolyte loss when taken with other stimulant laxatives.
Senna is a stimulant laxative; concomitant use with other stimulant laxatives might compound fluid and electrolyte loss.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, excessive use of senna might increase the effects of warfarin.
Senna has stimulant laxative effects and can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding. In one case report, excessive use of senna for 3 weeks resulted in diarrhea, bloody stools, and an elevated INR of 11.9.

Super Dieter's Tea Lemon Mint by Laci Le Beau: Common Questions

Does Super Dieter's Tea Lemon Mint by Laci Le Beau interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Super Dieter's Tea Lemon Mint has a known interaction with 331 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Super Dieter's Tea Lemon Mint contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this tea help me lose weight?
This product is a laxative tea containing senna, which is designed to prompt bowel movements. The evidence we hold doesn't establish that stevia or senna aids weight loss — that's not what the data supports. If weight management is your goal, talk with your doctor or a registered dietitian.
Is it safe to drink this tea every day?
No — senna is generally safe for short-term occasional use only, not for daily long-term use without medical advice. Overuse can cause serious problems like severe potassium loss and other complications. Check with your doctor before making this a regular habit.
What are the most common side effects I should expect?
The most typical side effects from senna are abdominal cramping and pain, diarrhea, gas, nausea, and darkened urine. Stevia may cause bloating, dizziness, headache, or muscle aches, though these usually fade after the first week. If cramping or diarrhea is severe or lasts, stop and contact your doctor.
Can I take this if I'm on birth control?
Senna may interfere with how your body absorbs estrogens in birth control, potentially making it less effective. This is a Moderate interaction — talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting this tea if you're on hormonal birth control or any estrogen therapy.
What does senna do, and what does stevia do?
Senna is the active laxative ingredient that stimulates bowel movements — it's likely effective for constipation. Stevia is a natural sweetener added to the tea for taste. Senna is doing the work here; stevia is just sweetening it.
