HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super Dieter's Tea Peppermint 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Stevia {Blend}” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (38 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This tea contains 3 active ingredients: stevia powder and stevia powdered extract (both forms of the stevia plant sweetener), and senna (a plant-based laxative). The stevia sweetens the blend, while senna is included for its stimulant laxative effect to promote bowel movements.

The tea also contains inactive ingredients — peppermint, orange, licorice, marshmallow, eleuthero, papaya, chrysanthemum, and Japanese honeysuckle — which add flavor and traditional herbal support.

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: weight loss and body cleansing.
  • We looked for evidence on: Obesity, weight management, digestive health, bowel regularity.
  • The closest evidence on file: Stevia is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity (Natural Medicines).

Senna is likely effective for constipation and possibly effective for bowel prep before medical procedures, based on established clinical evidence. For stevia's role in this product — diabetes, high blood pressure, or weight loss — the evidence is insufficient to establish whether it works.

The data we hold does not show reliable proof that stevia delivers benefits for any of these uses.

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 for short-term occasional use but should not be taken long-term daily without medical guidance. Common side effects include abdominal pain, cramps, diarrhea, and nausea, which usually pass quickly.

Rare serious effects include allergic skin reactions. Stevia and its extracts appear well tolerated overall; most minor side effects like headache, dizziness, nausea, bloating, and muscle pain resolve within the first week.

However, stevia's safety at high supplement doses is not well studied, so use caution. Allergic reactions to stevia are rare but possible.

The product facts do not provide pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data for either ingredient.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
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 Super Dieter's Tea Peppermint, double-check the following medication types with your pharmacist: lithium (moderate-severity interaction risk), estrogens or hormone therapy, warfarin or other blood thinners, diuretic water pills, digoxin heart medication, and other stimulant laxatives. Stevia also interacts with blood pressure medications and diabetes drugs (minor severity).

If you take any of these, verify your specific medications with the checker below.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This tea is mainly a laxative for occasional constipation relief. If you take lithium, blood pressure or diabetes medications, warfarin, diuretics, digoxin, estrogen, or other stimulant laxatives, you need to check your exact medications with the tool on this page before using it.

Talk with your pharmacist or doctor first — especially if you plan to use this regularly rather than once in a while.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Super Dieter's Tea Peppermint 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 {Blend}3 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 Peppermint by Laci Le Beau: Common Questions

Does Super Dieter's Tea Peppermint by Laci Le Beau interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Super Dieter's Tea Peppermint 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 Peppermint 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.
Is this safe to use if I'm on blood pressure or diabetes medication?
Stevia in this tea may theoretically increase the effect of these drugs, lowering your blood pressure or blood sugar further than intended. It's a minor-severity interaction, but you should check your exact medications with the tool on this page and discuss it with your pharmacist before starting.
Can I use this tea regularly, or just once in a while?
Senna is meant for short-term occasional use, not daily long-term use without medical advice. If you want to use this regularly, talk to your doctor first to make sure it's safe for you.
What side effects might I experience from this tea?
Senna commonly causes abdominal pain, cramps, diarrhea, nausea, and flatulence. Stevia may cause headache, dizziness, nausea, bloating, and muscle pain, but these usually go away within the first week. Most people tolerate both ingredients well in short-term use.
Is this okay to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The product facts don't include safety information for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this tea if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Does this tea really help with weight loss?
Stevia's effectiveness for weight loss isn't established in our data — there isn't reliable evidence either way. The senna is there to act as a laxative, not to promote weight loss directly.
