Zemiente is marketed as a fantastic fat burner in South Africa. However, it is an artificial seed, not a pill or capsule! That’s why it is an interesting fat burner worth having a look at.

The product composition contains good fatty acids such as CLA, Omega 6 and Omega 3. They assist in metabolizing fat into energy at a cellular level. One of other highly beneficial advantages of this fat burner is that it acts like a grease solvent by dissolving localized fat and assisting the blood to transform and burn off excess fat.

Cause of Obesity & Zemiente cure
Today one of the more common causes related to obesity is that fat remains in the area of the intestines for an extended period of time. During this time that the intestines become blocked with fecal matter, the gut absorbs this waste and this results in weight gain.
Zemiente is advertised as a natural relaxant that assists in reducing stress as well as helping you to sleep better. The main aim of this product is that it acts as a mild and natural laxative. This fat burner encourages regular bowel movements which will mean that the food that you consume today will leave your body today, meaning your intestines are clear and reduces the chances of your gut absorbing toxins.
Note: You probably want to read following articles to clearly understand the above theory.
- Cortisol, the stress hormone and its impact on weight gain.
- How full body detoxification is beneficial for weight loss
Zemiente Ingredients Explained
It contains seeds that have been registered with the PD and USDA as a completely natural and non toxic product. The seeds contain oil that is made up of 77% of polyunsaturated fat and 33% linolenic acid.
The tree where these seeds are derived from are typically grown in gardens and naturalized as well as cultivated in West Indies, Amazon, Bangladesh, southern India. The seed is small in size similar to Grains of Paradise
In order to deeply understand how this diet pill work, let us have a looks at some of the medical reports and clinical studies conducted on the…
Linoleic acid is a doubly unsaturated fatty acid, occurring widely in plant glycosides. It is an essential fatty acid in mammalian nutrition and is used in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and cell membranes. [more info]
Polyunsaturated fats can have a beneficial effect on your heart when eaten in moderation and when used to replace saturated fat and trans fat in your diet. [more info]
Alpha-linolenic acid is a kind of omega-3 fatty acid found in plants. It is found in flaxseed oil, and in canola, soy, perilla, and walnut oils. Omega-3 fatty acids — especially EPA and DHA — have been shown to reduce inflammation and may help prevent chronic diseases, such as heart disease and arthritis. [more info]
User reviews and before after pics
The official website has posted many success stories, testimonials with pics. They are also promoting the brand on social media sites like Facebook and Instagram. The before & after pics shown below are from their distributor. Please note that there is a minimum sales target for distributors. It is a good weight loss and body transformation irrespective of how the did it. Have you heard of VFX body ever?

Pros
- This product does not require exercise in order to lose weight. However, it is highly suggested to take part in at least 20-30 minutes of daily exercise to achieve the best results.
- Zemiente assists the digestive system and eliminates food eaten on the same day or the very next day. So that the body is only absorbing the important nutrients.
- This product results in a cleaner gut which means the body will naturally stop absorbing harmful toxins
Cons
- Zemiente will cause you to have a lot more frequent toilet visits.
- During the first few days on the product you will experience flatulence and gas.
- You may also experience pains in your back, arms or chest similar to the pain from exercising.
- It is available through registered distributor only.
Side Effects
Some of the possible side effects you may experience when taking Zemiente seeds include:
- The seeds produce intestinal gas until the fecal matter is removed
- Some people experience bloating the first few days
- Fatigue, Headaches Diarrhea
- Swelling in the area of the ankles
Directions On Taking Zemiente
There are 2 options available on how to use this product that includes:
- Drink the seed like a pill before going to bed at night. To begin with you should be taking a ¼.
- The other option is to crush the seed (1/4) and place it into boiling water and drink the mixture.
Where to Buy it?
If you live in South Africa you can buy it from official website zemiente.com. It is also available with few direct distributors around Capetown and Johannesburg. The official website looks very unprofessional with terrible fonts and horrible color combination.
Are there any Alternatives?
The 3 ingredients found in Zemiente are very common in various diet pills and weight loss supplements. However, combination of all the 3 ingredients are not very common. Therefore, I’m still researching for a good alternative. Do you like the idea of just one pill a day? Then you can consider popular American made diet pill like Phen375.
- PhenGold is another supplement we have been recommending on this site for quite long time. However, taking 3 pills a days maybe an inconvenience for few people.
- Zotrim is the safe clinically proven diet pill, over 2 decades of existence in the market
Conclusion
Zemiente is a product that works best when taken before sleeping at night. The product is completely natural and even though it may cause a few side effects. Before starting a weight loss program it is worthwhile to have a clear gut for optimal health levels. This particular product is not regarded as a cure or treatment for any type of illness. I’m giving it 3 start based on my careful research..

I am forever hungry and I do not sleep well at night.
Hi Samantha,
Have you had any change??
I am also in my 5th week of using it, and also gained over 5kg’s… it is very frustrating, as I hoped to be a few kgs down before Xmas…
My supplier keeps telling me that I have to carry on, and it should soon change over to losing weight….
Please let me know 🙂
Nelia / Samantha
Just be consistent. I lost 25 kg in 9 months. Take your seed at night, drink your water and carry on as normal. You will see the results but you have to be very patient.
Hi Shirley
I took this product for one year and lost 20 kg. then i got sick , pressure shot through the roof and became anemic, but the distributors say its not the nut, i am well now, i want to loose 5 more kg thninking of going back, they advise to use it for a month and stop
Any thoughts.
thanks
Sally
Hi there
Any progress of losing weight? M thinking abt buying this too
Good day,
I have lost a lot of weight and only after the 6th week did I start benefiting. Also I drink a lot of water which is key to how this works as it is a detox. I am insulin resistant and menopausal and nothing else worked and I have tried everything. I had been eating literally nothing and not loosing weight. So on my own experience it definitely has worked for my body.
Hi Dianne
Are you still using Zemiente and how are your results. I am virtually the same as you and wondering if i should give it a go
ive just started taking this product but i dont take it every night as im running to the loo too much. im only in week 3 and i can already see a change happening. i have completely lost my appetite and only eat a fraction of what i used to eat. so im really hoping for good things to happen
Hi ladies
I know that it may be very frustrating but stay with it, it will definitely be worth it. It is not uncommon for people to pick up a little when they start but trust me the weight will come off. How long have you been on your seed now
Hi there how is it going now have you continued using it.
Hi there. Just wondering if u carried on using Z or not.
I have been using for one month now and I gained 10k how is that
Hi there
Please note that cocoa and chocolate of any kind reverses the effect of the zemiente. I have lost over 10kilos but it was over a 6month period. Perserver and try eating healthier
Good day
I took the product for 2 months, I picked up 4 kgs, I didn’t continue because I’m afraid to pick up more weight.
hi so sorry to hear you have given up.
I started in November and finished my first packet of 12 seeds. My weight was still a sea saw and I have tried every diet on the market. So I persevered and suddenly I started losing weight.
I have lost 10kg till date. I am so happy with zemiente.
Hi I would like to have one for weight loss ASAP , where will i buy it and how much it costs , I am in KZN- Durban
thank you
I have heard that you can’t drink alcohol or eat chocolate while taking the seed. Is this true? Also, if you stop taking the seed, do the more frequent visits to the toilet stop immediately?
Hi Deena
It is true that you cant mix the seed with alcohol or chocolate, they both cancel out the effect of the seed.
Your body does not stop flushing immediately when you stop your seed, it is a gradual process but trust me the flushing is not aggressive and uncomfortable.
Zemiente weight-loss product, worked wonders fir me. I have lost 14kgs so far and lot of cms loss. Experienced very few side effects if any. I have tried the REST now I’m using thr best.

Good Day,
I started using the product two days ago.
I was informed that my tummy will work the next morning, after taking the dosage.
It has made me constipated instead.
I used to have a regular bowel movement at 6am every morning, but now i’m constipated.
Any thoughts, advice, direction, about this?
i have been on the seeds for three weeks and have not lost any weight considering that I have been drinking lots of water and eating very healthy. I also dont sleep well at night.????

hi
I am in Cape Town and have been using Zemiente Fat Burner for little bit more than a month now but still no weight loss. I visit the toilet more frequently, drink water and hardly eat fats.
can somebody please advise.
Hi
Can I use this product in conjunction with my herbalife? I am very concerned by reading the comments on this page that say people gained over 5kgs, I have been doing very well with weighloss and dont want to have a problem where I am back to square 1.
Although I would like to see a fater result so i am thinking maybe this will help me.
I am very regular and I ready the comment about constipation also… that too is a concern.
Hi…i am taking Zamiente for 3 months now and have lost weight but have trouble sleepings also another lady mentioned on another site that it gives you diabetes and i have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes i am concerned as to whether the zamiemte has caused this this is a major concern for me
Hi, can you use the product if you are on antidepressants?
Hi
I’ve been using the seed for about a week now. The tissue in my neck feels strange, as if the fat/tissue under my skin has hardened- i don’t know how else to describe it. I can actually feel it when I pinch my neck. Has anyone else experienced this?
I have been using it for 2 weeks now. My lower back and sides aswell as my neck feels like what you are describing. Feels like I have been run over by a bus. So strange.
i think you are all experiencing detox symptoms and the pains in the body is from the Omega 6 in the nut.everybody does not react the same to a product
Hi, I’m a registered distributor, if you would like to purchase the Zemiente seed, please contact me on whatsapp 0604647013 and please like and share our page for more Successful stories https://www.facebook.com/ZemienteCpt
Hi Nuri,
My concern is is all the people that have gained weight. Why has there been no explanation for this? I’m into my second week and I’ve gained1,2kg’s that shouldn’t be. My bowel movements have been up to 3 times a day. I’m concerned, please reply with a decent answer. Regards Sonya
Hi Soraya,
A max on 2kg can be put on in the beginning of using the seed.The properties of the seed is to make you lose weight and not have the opposite effect. The seed needs to be crushed and brewed as a tea for best results. Everyone’s metabolism is different, therefore results may be seen sooner or rather later depending on your metabolism. It is advised to continue taking your seed and follow the correct instructions. More importantly, stay positive and have patience.
what concerns me is that no-one actually replies to the questions and concerns raised.
some people here have serious health issues like depression, diabetes etc, and ask valid questions, but don’t get an answer from and informed source at all….
i don’t think this thing is legit. my opinion
My concern with this is all the positive feedback people are quick to respond but no one bother about the negative feedback… WHY is this??? (no repose again)
exactly, I’m having the same issue. And if you try researching it online we directed back to the Ziemiente website which obviously only talks about the pro’s
I’m battling to get a honest response because the agents will obviously say “don’t worry, its normal” I need a honest opinion from a person who’s not an agent .
It is important to get these answers from the distributor that you have purchased your product from. They know your case/story and therefore will be able to provide the best advice.
I have been using the seed for the past 4 weeks. The first 3 weeks my clothes seems to be a little bit loser but now in my 4th week. I seemed to have ballooned and where I used to weigh 56kg before using Zemiente I am now weighing 59kg. What is up with that. I eat healthy drink my water religiously but still picking up weight.
I am feeling so despondent and thinking I should rather stop taking the Zemiente.
I started using this about 3 weeks ago. I religiously go to the toilet everyday. I haven’t weighed myself yet but I can feel my clothes are a bit loose. My sister list weight after her firat week if using this and I can see the difference on her. But she exercises everyday, as she normally did before this product. I exercise once a week. I’m lazy like that.
I haven’t had any headaches and I suffer from bad headaches. But I do find it hard to have a restful night’s sleep.
I’m trying not to be despondent.
Please help, I have a started taking the seed for four days now, my tummy worked out the first two days and has not after that. Is that normal? I feel like I am now constipated. Please urgently advise.Thanks
Can i take it if i am diabetic and have high blood pressure. Please advise
Yes you can use it
Please ad ise if I can take this if I have IBS?
hi, i took it as a test and after 6 months and 3tins, i lost 2 dress sizes and 7kgs. I started selling in the Gauteng region if anyone needs support or advice. Bibi 0846055566
Hi , i have been on the seed for 3 weeks now and i have gained weight and definitely not losing and feeling exhausted all the time . i am stopping the seed tonight
Have u been struggling to loose weight after stopping the seed ?
This is an awesome weight loss seed, I would love to become a distributor in JHB. I used it for just over 6 months and lost over 22kg’s during that time.
From just on 100 kg’s to 77.8kg’s in October 2016 – March 2017 …. I have maintained the weight loss since and roughly at 80kg’s. I am looking to go on a 2nd round to cut 7 kg’s over the next 7 months.
I have directed many people to this seed and each and every one of them have had extremely positive results.
My latest chap weighs in at 147 kg’s …. him and his wife start tonight and I am looking forward to seeing their progress.
Ask me how and I will tell you, this product works.
SO HOW ARE THESE GUYS DOING ON WEIGHT LOSS?
How did the couple do on the seed? Can people who are HIV+ use it?
Hi.I’ve been taking the seed since August and have experienced no side effects such as the frequent toilet breaks or muscle pains.I have gained more than 10 kgs since then and I am seriously depressed because this product doesn’t seem to be working for me.I’m on my second tin already.I drink my prescribed 2.5 litres of water per day and still no results.I’m not exercising and I eat as I normally would.Is this seed not going to work for me?How much longer should I be patient?Please help!
wow, are you serious i have just ordered mine and feeling so skeptical reading all the above and people not getting responses on there comments from distributors….
I have just started last night. I have seen the difference in my friend. she has really lost a lot of weight. I am hypothyroidism and also on HRT. I have tried so many diets and have lost weight but just put more on.
reading some of the comments of people gaining weight is scary. well I just want to give it a try and be positive.
Hi I am so glad to share I have lost 11kg till date. Very happy.
how can I become a distributor?
Hi I have used the product for 2 weeks and lost about a kilo already but it makes me feel very sick. I have experienced the neck pain and constant tummy cramps. Can’t get thru the day even….is anyone else feeling the same
I had the same problem, reverted to 1/8 for an extra 2 weeks and then started taking the prescribed 1/4 every 2nd or 3rd night. I don’t take it everyday…. I did not weigh beforehand but can see a difference in my body and face….
I have not set a deadline, instead have planned to take 2 tins over the next 6 months or so as long as it lasts and take it from there.
My friend lost over 30 kg over an 18 month period taking it slowly…. so I’m doing the same
The product increased my libido. I can have sex for 5 times in a row. Excellent product.
Hope you are not joking… sex is fantastic exercise anyway 🙂
I started the seed yesterday, it’s quite scary that no of the distributor s are not and the questions regarding weight gain…hopefully one of the management or someone senior can respond..
Can I use this while on blood thinning medication?
HI Zita
did you get a response yet? I am also interested to know.
If you read up about Omegas it’s a blood thinner so maybe you should cut down on your tablets while on Ziemente
This seed is giving me the shitters the hole day! I’m more in the
toilet than in my Office, and I bought 2 tins. Anybody wants to take
over a tin? R300, I’ve pd R500, still sealed. Just not working for my stomach!
is it safe if hiv. am a bit overweight and struggling to loose it
Hi Marlene
Did u manage to get a buyer
I am hiv positive and living a healthy life style i am on Trevendze. Can i still take this as i am a bit overwieght
Why not try Olive Leaf Extract as well while on Ziemente
Can you use it if you are diabetic and on metformin?
If you are type 2 try Olive Leaf it’s awesome for loosing weight and boosting your immune system
I meant to say boost weight loss
I’m using but i’m not frequent visiting the toilet, is it normal as i’m worried.
Hi
I have started on the seed in Oct 2017 and have lost 10kgs with breaks in between. I too have tried everything and nothing worked as well as Zemiente. The first 6 weeks you wont lose much, but you just need to be patient.
It is vital that you abstain from Alcohol and chocolate as these components reverses the effects of Zemiente.
Drink at least 2kgs water, however for every 30kgs you weigh you have to drink a litre water…example: if you way 90kgs you then drink 3litres of water…BUT the bare minimum amount water to consume is 2litres a day.
Perservere, Keep strong and i hope you reach your goal weight.

I’m allergic to nuts and aniseed. Can I use this product?
Hi I am really interested in this product I have pcos and wanted to if any one with pcos has tried it and dis it work
I am drinking the seed like a pill instead of crushing it.whats the best way to take it or it doesnt matter however you take it,it will still work???i started last month im on my second tin one day i feel i lost other days i feel i gained i dont know where im standing…Apparently i will start seeing huge result on my third tin lets wait and see
Why is it that the weight gain questions are not answered? i hear perseverance – but if one gain up to 10 kg then sorry there is a serious concern
Hi Liza and Crys, i have been experiencing this hardened sensation on most parts of my body. I have been told that this is normal. So i would like to know how long this will long because it is quite painful feels like severe sun burn
Hi there
I am very interested in trying this tablet. However I was told that f I am allergic to penicillin then I cannot take Ziemente. Does anyone know why?
Hi there did you get a reply to this? I am also allergic and just bought a tin
Are there any reseaechers who have lookwd at this product?
A friend of a friend is an agent….uses the product herself but later fell seriously ill and has serious health problems….. thyroid problems…..but she is young and loves the weight loss…dismisses that zemiente may have triggered her thyroid issues and other problems…..
Ive tried zemiente twice now….with long intervals in between….BOTH times ive fallen ill….inexplicable body pains….foot underneath stings early in the morning when i get off the bed ……..monthly cycle disturbed……i thought i had fibromyalgia because of the pains here thwre and everywhere in my body…..fingers get stiff and swollen….stomach pain at other times….
Gave it up….after a few months decided to try again….this time symptoms are worse…
I certainly believe zemiente triggers something in MY body that thinks its being attacked and so my body gies into panic mode……if that makes any sense…I just wish there was someone reliable answering our questions ….not just the zemiente distributors who may not be all that enlightened regarding a goodly portion or even some portion of thw scientific/medical aspect of the nuts effect on different peoples bodies…….
Hi Sonya
I too have been on the seed for 4 months and gained over 5kg, bloated and still experiencing body aches, my kidneys feel swollen and still have heat intolerance. I am 3 days in the gym and drink plenty water and eat properly. What very concerning is , that it hasnt been approved by the medical board. I quit it. Utter bull, my health comes first.
Dont use this product. I used it for a week. Constantly nauseous, vomiting and diarrhea.Whole body becomes sore and tender to the touch. Total loss of appetite. It makes you feel really,really sick.
