For those looking to lose weight, detox – or both – there are a number of tea products on the market, typically based on a proprietary blend of dried plant materials, that claim to do just that. Chupa Panza tea is one such product that has recently gained popularity.

Chupa Panza tea is a detox tea blend containing ginger root, pineapple, flaxseed and cinnamon. Its producers claim that it helps cleanse the colon, release stubborn toxins and helps kickstart a diet – of interest to those looking to lose weight.
It is manufactured by GN+Vida, a company based in Mexico that supplies a range of products it claims help with weight loss and detox.
At the time of writing this review, Chupa Panza tea is sold in packs containing 30 teabags.
To see whether Chupa Panza tea works or not, we’ll have a look at the science behind its ingredients, then we’ll see what the customers have to say.
Out of all of Chupa Panza tea’s ingredients, the ginger root, flaxseed and cinnamon are likely to account for its cleansing and weight loss benefits. The pineapple is most likely added to provide flavoring.
Ginger has some evidence backing its potential for weight loss. It contains the compounds that may help burn fat and it may help a lucky few lose even more weight if they have certain genes [1].
Overall the evidence is mixed and more research is needed to determine exactly how effective ginger is for weight loss and its other health benefits.
Flaxseed is claimed by many to help with weight loss. They are rich in fiber, which acts as an appetite suppressant and is essential for moving food through the intestines [2], which likely plays a part in Chupa Panza tea’s colon cleansing effects.
Cinnamon, although most commonly used as a flavor enhancing spice, may be beneficial for health. Interestingly, it has been used as a traditional medicine for treating gastrointestinal and other ailments. But the evidence at this stage is inconclusive [3].
Based on its ingredients, there are good reasons to believe that Chupa Panza tea may be effective for both weight loss and for cleansing the colon. But what do the customers say?
At the time of writing this review, Chupa Panza tea had a 4.3 star out of 5 average rating on Amazon.com. And the vast majority of reviews are positive, with customers reporting that it did what they hoped it would – cleanse their colon and lose weight.
Of course, as with any product, there are some dissatisfied customers. Most of these reviewers report underwhelming results. However, it’s possible that they didn’t drink the tea for long enough. Based on the reviews of other customers, it can take a few days to work.
So it may be the case that many of these unhappy customers were impatient for results. Had they persisted with using the product longer, they might have had a different opinion.
One thing even satisfied customers reported on that you need to be aware of is that this tea makes you poop – A LOT. Yes, it is purchased by people looking to cleanse their colons in addition to losing weight, but some customers report being taken by surprise and needing to use a restroom urgently and at inconvenient times.
For this reason, it might be a good idea to use this product on a day off, when you’ve no work or other commitments you have to attend to.
Overall, the reviews are overwhelmingly positive, so it would seem that for most customers at least, Chupa Panza tea does what it claims to do.
Pros
– Effective for weight loss
– Cleans the colon
– Tastes pleasant
Cons
– Should be avoided by pregnant women due to flaxseed content [4]
– May require you to rush to the restroom at an inconvenient time (if this is a problem and you’re looking to lose weight, read the next section — Alternatives for weight loss).
Are you looking to lose weight but the colon cleanse and all that goes along with it turns you off? Or perhaps you would like to try Chupa Panza tea but don’t want to rely on it over a longer period to reach your weight loss goal?
Fortunately, there are other approaches that might be more suited to your requirements.
Using special milkshakes or smoothies as a meal replacement is a popular weight-loss option. Most plans based on this approach usually involve replacing 1 or more meals a day with a low-calorie, fat-burning shake or smoothie.
There are a number of well known brands, such as Slimfast, that make these products, but there’s also the option of forgoing the readymade smoothies and shakes and making your own from scratch.
While there are recipes available online, it’s probably best to avoid the trial and error and follow a tried and tested plan that has gotten results for others.

Supplements are a very popular option to help with weight loss. They work by either reducing appetite, speeding up metabolism to burn fat or a combination of both.
The over the counter, non-prescription supplements usually contain natural ingredients, such as catechins.
The prescription supplements/pills tend to use synthetic ingredients, such as Liraglutide.
The most effective supplements are made from a proprietary blend of natural ingredients proven to be effective for weight loss. But picking the right supplement that will get to your goal can be tricky, since there are just so many.
For best results, it’s important to only buy a supplement brand with a good track record.
If you’re looking to lose weight, cleanse your colon or both, Chupa Panza seems to be up to the job.
But if the idea of making frequent, possibly inconvenient, trips to a restroom doesn’t appeal to you and your primary goal is weight loss, then you might want to explore other options.
