    First of all, after any substance enters the body, whether it is to exert beneficial physiological effects or cause harmful side effects, it must be taken in a certain amount. The current scientific research on lotus leaf tea for weight loss is still limited to animal experiments. There is no rigorous and scientific human test evidence, and there are no reports on how much body intake can lead to weight loss. Therefore, the manufacturers of lotus leaf tea did not remind on the product how much should be consumed every day to lose weight. Obviously, the effect cannot be achieved without talking about the dosage. What's more, when brewing tea, the total mixture of ingredients will not be 100%, and the amount of reasonable ingredients used will be reduced to a certain extent.

    Secondly, weight loss is one of the 27 functions of health food in my country. If it is claimed that it can lose weight, there should be a health food label, and the instructions for use should include the intake, health care effects, etc. There is no health food approval document, which means that this product has not been scientifically proven to have weight loss effects under the recommended consumption.

    Ultimately, from the perspective of energy conservation, losing weight requires consuming calories from body fat, which stipulates that energy consumption exceeds energy intake. Calorie consumption includes three aspects: metabolism, physical activity and thermic effect of food. For a relatively stable body, metabolism is basically stable. If the diet is relatively fixed, the thermic effect of food is also relatively stable, and the only thing that can be changed is physical activity. Therefore, increasing calorie consumption mainly depends on increasing exercise, while reducing energy intake requires adjusting dietary structure. It is not practical to reduce energy intake and increase calorie consumption by relying on drugs without changing living habits.

    At the same time, everyone needs to understand that any rapid weight loss method, even a method of strengthening the body to increase calorie consumption, will cause damage to the body, cause endocrine and metabolic disorders, and cause an increase in ketone acids in the body. In severe cases, it can cause ketoacidosis. Therefore, a safe weight loss rate of 0.5~1Kg per week is considered a safe weight loss rate. For lotus leaf tea, since there is no scientific research to determine the dosage that can quickly lose weight, there is no safety and toxicology evaluation at this dosage. We don’t even know whether it will cause harm to the body when consumed at the dosage that can help lose weight. Therefore, it is recommended that when choosing weight-loss products, you should choose products with health food labels, and try not to pursue perfect and quick weight loss.
