Reviews from people losing weight and doctors
Olga, 42 years old, St. Petersburg, nutritionist:
Having studied numerous reviews from my patients (both positive and neutral), I made the following conclusions: Firstly, drinking “Flying Swallow” tea is possible only if you are absolutely confident in its quality and originality. Unfortunately, there are many fakes on the market of dietary supplements and weight loss products, the use of which, at best, will not have any effect. And in the worst case, it can cause serious harm to the body. Suspiciously low price, poor-quality packaging, dubious distributors - it’s definitely not worth purchasing the product and risking your health.
Secondly, not a single miracle cure can help you lose weight if you lead a sedentary lifestyle, abuse fatty and heavy foods, and treat your body lightly.
Kristina, 28 years old, Bryansk:
I only drink Flying Swallow for the first month, I strictly follow the recommendations: 10 days of taking it, then 5 days off. In my case, tea works! In the first month I didn’t lose much, only 3 kg, but the feeling of heaviness in my legs, the feeling of “brokenness” in the morning, and discomfort in the stomach disappeared.
But most importantly, my skin has really become cleaner. I carefully studied the effect of all the components and realized that this effect is due to the cleansing effect of toxins and impurities. Great, I continue to drink according to the indicated regimen.
Margarita, 34 years old, Belgorod:
I tried many different drugs for weight loss. In some cases I observed a short-term effect, while others had no effect at all. Based on my personal feelings, I will say that the Chinese herb “Flying Swallow” promotes weight loss with regular physical activity and moderate nutrition. Moreover, I noticed that it is not at all necessary to work hard in a fitness club until exhaustion. It is enough to do simple exercises at home for 20-30 minutes every day. For 2 courses, approximately 7 kg were lost.
Tatyana, 46 years old, Vladimir:
I don’t have long-term experience in losing weight with the help of “Flying Swallow”. I periodically drink this tea after holidays, weekends, and vacations. By cleansing the intestines and getting rid of swelling in the body, the effect of tea is really fast and noticeable. In the first 10 days I lost 4.5 kg. I really liked the feeling of lightness and calm after drinking the infusion. But I think that you shouldn’t get too carried away.

Therefore, when purchasing a product, you must fully familiarize yourself with the information in the package in order to purchase a truly original drink.
How to brew tea correctly?
According to reviews, “Flying Swallow” tea for weight loss has a simple preparation process:
- Place one sachet of the drink in a glass of hot water and leave for several minutes.
Every day you need to drink a glass of tea, cold or hot; temperature does not affect its properties. You can add a little honey or sugar to the drink, but its effectiveness will decrease. Tea has a pleasant taste due to the presence of natural ingredients in it.
The package contains 30 tea bags. It is not recommended to drink it on an empty stomach to avoid negative consequences.
It is best to drink tea at night, when you no longer have to leave the house. After all, the drink can cause a strong laxative effect, which sometimes occurs on the first and also on subsequent days of intake.
The duration of the course is 10 days, then you need to take a 5-day break. The procedure can be repeated 1-2 times. The greatest effectiveness was achieved by those losing weight who combined the process of losing weight with proper nutrition. Such a course of taking tea is allowed to be carried out no more than 2-3 times a year.
Abuse, according to reviews, of extra tea for weight loss can lead to addiction, and the body will no longer cope with the task of cleansing on its own.
Reviews
Maria: I’m already finishing my second course at Swallow. There are good results - I lost 8 kg. At first it was quite difficult, since the laxative effect of the drink was very strong. The first day I ran to the toilet 6 times. Then my body got used to it and the usual daily routine was no longer disturbed.
Ksenia: The tea has a pleasant taste, it’s not unpleasant to drink it without sugar. But it caused severe cramps for me, so I quit it.
Katya: Not a bad tea for weight loss. At least it gives me lightness, my waist is reduced in volume, and the swelling in my legs has gone away. I can’t say that it has a strong laxative property. I had it painlessly. I'm happy with the result.
Inga: Very strong, too many exotic components, didn’t work for me after the first use.
Side effects?
Tea has some peculiarities, so the main restrictions on intake include:
- Tendency to develop allergies.
- Individual intolerance to the components of the drink.
- Gastrointestinal diseases in the acute stage.
- Intestinal diseases (colitis, enteritis, etc.)
- Pregnancy and lactation period.
- The child's age is up to 16 years.

According to reviews, Flying Swallow tea has the main side effects, which include diarrhea, because most of those who lose weight experience it. It can lead to the following symptoms:
- dehydration;
- vitamin deficiency;
- removal of beneficial microflora;
- inability to empty the bowel on your own.
Due to the fact that the drink is a medicine, it is not recommended to exceed the daily intake. It is 2 sachets per day.
Before using herbal tea, you should consult a specialist.
Doctors' opinion about tea
Experts have similar opinions about the drink. According to reviews from doctors, “Flying Swallow” weight loss tea is classified as a dietary supplement, so the attitude towards it is wary. They are completely sure that weight is lost only due to the removal of fluid from the body, which has a temporary effect. After all, it can return, which will lead to the return of several lost kilograms. This sometimes occurs immediately after stopping the drink.
Many nutritionists do not recommend drinking such herbal teas. After all, drinking such a drink can lead to dysbiosis and leaching of minerals from the body.
According to doctors’ opinions and reviews, “Flying Swallow” tea will not lead to a slim figure, but to the need for treatment for dysbiosis and other stomach diseases.
Among other things, regular use of diuretic and laxative drinks can lead to weakening and exhaustion of the body. It is best not to drink the drink constantly, which will help avoid this condition.
Customer reviews of tea
Opinions about the drink are conflicting. According to reviews from people losing weight and doctors, Flying Swallow tea can lead to the loss of several kilograms of excess weight in a few days. If you do not take appropriate measures aimed at active exercise and proper nutrition, then the lost weight will return quickly within a month.
Some people losing weight noticed a deterioration in their health, which manifested itself in the form of dysbiosis. Now they are forced to deal with intestinal treatment, which is considered a rather lengthy process.
The third group of people losing weight, according to reviews, uses “Flying Swallow” tea for constipation. They do this not constantly, but for several days, so as not to worsen the situation and not cause addiction to the drink.
Some people, on the advice of their nutritionist, begin to take tea as a first step to help cleanse the body. Therefore, the drink acts as a start to a diet that is selected individually. During the period when the body is being cleansed of everything unnecessary, the patient switches to eating porridge. Additionally, he should drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
To avoid causing severe stomach cramps, flour products are excluded from the diet. According to reviews, “Flying Swallow” tea for weight loss is not recommended to be taken on an empty stomach.
As a result, one group of people losing weight achieves the effect, but the second does not, due to the individual characteristics of the body and the wrong approach to taking the drink.
How to avoid negative consequences from drinking tea?
Having studied the reviews of those who have lost weight about “Flying Swallow” tea for weight loss, we can come to the conclusion that the main side effects lead to an irresistible urge to have a bowel movement, digestive problems and a rapid gain of extra pounds.
The manufacturer recommends drinking no more than 2 tea bags per day. After all, the effect of taking senna occurs a few hours after the herb enters the digestive system. Therefore, the patient must remain at home during this time.
Negative reviews of “Flying Swallow” tea from those losing weight are also understandable, because each organism has its own characteristics. Most who drink the drink note that it is most active in the first days of use, because at this time huge deposits of harmful substances are removed from the body. After this, drinking tea is easier to tolerate.
Intestinal pathology occurs when the drink is taken haphazardly, and as a result of its cleansing, beneficial microflora is washed out. After all, any prolonged diarrhea leads to dysbiosis and deficiency of vitamins and minerals. While drinking tea, it is best to add probiotic products to the body: bananas, kefir, fermented baked milk, onions, garlic, chicory, etc. It is useful for internal organs to take a course of vitamins or include a large amount of vitamin-rich food in the diet.
In case of returning weight, you need to understand that herbal tea is not a panacea, and in order to achieve stable weight loss, it is best to include sports and proper nutrition in the weight loss process.
Instructions for use
To achieve the desired, yet safe, weight loss and cleansing of the body, it is necessary to strictly follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
It is important to remember that the influence of the components of the Flying Swallow herbal tea on each person is purely individual . The same dosage and regimen for those losing weight may have different results depending on the tolerance of the ingredients.
Instructions for use:
- Brew 1-2 tea bags per 200 ml of hot water, the optimal temperature is no more than 95ºC.
- Cover with a lid and leave for 5-10 minutes.
- Drink once a day, preferably after dinner.
- The effect of tea appears after 5-8 hours.
- The course of administration is 10 days, after which a break of 5 days is necessary to avoid the body becoming accustomed to it.
- Then repeat the indicated scheme for 10/5 days.
- It is possible to start the next cycle of treatment after 2-3 months, but not earlier.
The manufacturer recommends starting the initial intake of the drug while on vacation or on the weekend: in no case before a trip or an important event.
At the same time, those losing weight have time to study the effect of “Flying Swallow” on their body and, in an “emergency” case, visit the toilet room. Having felt the period of time after which the relaxing effect occurs, it is easy to choose the optimal mode of using the collection for yourself.
Can I make tea myself?
According to reviews, “Flying Swallow” tea with apple and other ingredients has a well-known composition, which is indicated on the manufacturer’s packaging. But making such a drink at home is unrealistic, because there are some features:
- It is impossible to find all the necessary ingredients that go into a drink. Even if this happens, it is impossible to process them yourself and make them suitable for consumption in the form of dry tea components.
- It is quite difficult to mix all the ingredients of herbal tea in the required proportions, because the content of each ingredient in grams is not indicated on the packaging. And drinking a drink in which everything is mixed at random is dangerous to your health.
Therefore, it is best to purchase ready-made tea, which is sold in pharmacies and has an acceptable cost.
Herbal tea price
Like any similar drink, Flying Swallow tea has an affordable price. This may be due to its particular popularity among such drinks for quite a long period.
It can be purchased in pharmacies at a price of 150 rubles.
Losing weight must be considered as a process consisting of several stages. A person acts wisely if he first coordinates his actions with a nutritionist. After all, “Flying Swallow” tea is an additional means with which the weight loss process proceeds faster and more efficiently. Indeed, despite the completely natural composition of the drink, it has some limitations and adverse reactions.
Analogues of the drug
The Flying Swallow herbal tea has many analogues that are available for purchase in pharmacies without a doctor’s prescription. The proposed options have only one similarity with the original - a pronounced laxative effect, as well as a description on the packaging. In all other respects, information and action are radically different.
As a result of using analogues, you can get a negative result and an unpleasant side effect. The only safe drugs, from which nothing bad will happen, are “Siberian Swallow” and “Caucasian Swallow”. Both formulations are completely natural and are perfect as an additional means for weight loss.
If you want to lose a few extra pounds, in addition to teas, pay attention to proper nutrition and balanced diets. In combination with good, natural drinks, the result will not take long. And you don't have to look for other ways to lose weight.
