Bee Pollen Side Effect - Zi Xiu Tang

by Jill
(Pennsylvania, USA )

I am writing this question to you because of the hype with bee pollen. I know many people who have taken bee pollen to lose weight. However, they are taking the Zi Xiu Tang capsules that are from China! Many of the people taking this capsule experience laxative effects. Why is this? Would I experience this from taking local bee pollen? I was looking for something to help me lose weight and for my overall health (I have terrible skin!) However, I do not want the side effect of a laxative. Any information would be amazing! It's nice to find a website like yours that relays true information about bee pollen! Thanks!

Sincerely,

Jill

Hi Jill,
Great question. Yes, we get a lot of questions about this bee pollen product. The truth is that it is not actually a bee pollen product. It contain several other ingredients, one of which is causing the laxative effect. It contains some type of fiber in it, but the website doesn't say what the source is. So, if people are experiencing weight loss on this product, chances are it is partly or fully because of the laxative effect. You will not experience a laxative effect from taking local bee pollen or at least it is highly unlikely that you would. I'm highly skeptical of this Zi Xiu Tang product. In fact, I can't believe they are still in business with the claims that they are making on their site. I'm surprised the FDA has not shut them down yet. Anyways, hope that helps!

Zi Xiu Tang I dangerous
by: Mel

I took the Zi Xiu Tang for a month. I did not lose any weight with it, however I do know several people who have. I am pretty small anyway but the only reason that I started taking it was because I was quitting smoking and I wanted something to help curb my appetite during the process. Which it did help that and I have been smoke free for 42 days and doing great with no weight gain. I started taking the zxt gold 4 days before I layed down my cigarettes. It was great at first. Lots of energy and felt like I could tackle the world. I did have a little bit of a laxative effect on me and also I had a very hard time sleeping at night. That all went away in about a week. At this point, I started becoming very depressed and angry. I just wanted to lay and cry. Of course I thought it was just the effects of not smoking, but I wasn't even craving or wanting a cigarette. This went on and even got worse. I was screaming and yelling at my kids or whoever got in my path. I mean terrible rage. Then I would go cry. I knew what was happening, but I could not control it. I really wanted to die. Still thinking that it was from not smoking, I started doing some research. I knew that the only thing that I was doing differently, other than not smoking, was taking the zxt gold. I did some research on the bad side effects of the zxt and there were several others with the same side effects. In a way, I was relieved to hear this because I thought that I was really going insane. I stopped the zxt immediately ( I had just stared my 2nd bottle). After 2 days of not taking it, I am back to normal. No more anger or depression. I have no idea what is in that stuff to cause such an effect, but of course, the company don't tell you that. Tells you some of the ingredients but not all and does not even tell you the amounts of the stuff that they do tell you is in there. Kinda strange if you ask me. What exactly are they trying to hide? Anyway, this is very scary stuff. I am glad it is working for some people out there, but just be careful. For some reason this company does not want us to know what is in this stuff and I would say before long it will all come out with all kinds of legal battles attached to it. Just be careful.

Save your money!
by: Anonymous

I was convinced by a friend to try this product. No more peer pressure! It has a horrible laxative effect and if you happen to have stomach ulcers you may experience additional side effects. Twelve days of this because I thought I had a virus of some sort with lost work days things were so bad. No increase in energy and even with a diet there was no significant weight loss. Save your money.

Pros and Cons
by: Anonymous

I purchased this product at my local Health Food store 6 days ago and I've lost 5 lbs so far.

Pros: increased energy (not the jittery kind like caffeine gives), better mood, increased libido, healthier more supple skin, improved eyesight, brighter sclera (whites of the eyes), body aches and pains gone, bloating gone, swollen feet back to normal, visible fat reduction around abdomen/back.

Cons: EXTREME UNQUENCHABLE thirst, dry mouth/throat, frequent urination, some shortness of breath, possible insomnia (I don't feel I've gotten a deep satisfying night's rest since I started these pills).

I just wanted to add that I've taken Bee Pollen in it's granulated raw form and it doesn't even come close to having the dramatic effects or results that the Zi Xiu Tang offers. It's the combination of pollen and other powerful ingredients that contribute to the aide in natural weight loss.

I hope this has been helpful.

Know the source
by: Anonymous

Of course your going to knock zi xiu tang bee pollen....you dont sell it. Fact is, it works, my whole family uses it, and some of us lost over 70 lbs.....its not just a laxative.

Angela's Response:

Thank you for your comments. If you read my comments, I don't say that it doesn't work. I know it causes weight loss for some people because I get feedback telling me that it has worked. Nor do I say that it is simply a laxative. I say that it has laxative properties in it and that is one of the mechanism's of action. I also have issue with them calling it a Bee Pollen product as it is not just bee pollen. As you know, it has many ingredients in it and I feel it is misleading. Congratulations on your weight loss - 70 lbs is amazing. Good for you and bee healthy ~ Angela
