I've tried Guarchibao's drainage drink three times now, and while it's not a complete failure after 45 packets, I'm not sure if I'd repurchase even with the obvious benefits. Time to dive into the strawberry + kiwi flavor review.
Guarchibao's Drainage Drink is a natural remedy for reducing edema, removing excess fluid, and maintaining metabolic balance. The formula, based on Arctic seaweed, taurine, dextrose, and a vitamin complex, helps gently activate lymphatic drainage, improve digestion, and restore a sense of lightness in the body. Regular use reduces volume, eliminates feelings of heaviness, and boosts energy levels.
The drink doesn't contain sugar, cause addiction, or have a diuretic effect – making it suitable for comfortable daily use. The sachets are easy to take on the go and quickly dissolve in water. It's an ideal solution for weight loss programs, drying out, or gentle body cleansing.
Value for money
I've seen Guarchibao sold everywhere, and it's convenient to grab on marketplaces. The average price is 500 rubles per pack. I bought a set of three packs for 1,500 rubles.
Build quality
Guarchibao's packaging is bright, eye-catching, and memorable, with protection from the first opening. The box has all the necessary information about the product and manufacturer – it's convenient.
Inside the cardboard box, you'll find 15 single-use sachets with a quick-opening risk. It's convenient, reliable, and comfortable, but also a bit wasteful. I like that each flavor is signed, and on the individual sachet, you can immediately open the box and take a new flavor every day.

Consistency and flavor
This is a large, white powder that turns pink when dissolved in water (and it's a really nice color, by the way). It smells more like kiwi than strawberry. I like that the drink can be mixed with water of any temperature – I prefer cold.
This is the most acidic flavor I've tried, and it's really overwhelming. I had to force myself to finish these packets in agony – I don't like the acidity at all; it completely overpowers everything.
в суточной дозировке — 1 саше, 5 г:
I was surprised by the sheer number of vitamins in this complex: vitamin C (ascorbic acid), E (tocopherol acetate), vitamin A (retinol acetate), vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), vitamin B1 (thiamine monohydrate), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacinamide), vitamin B5 (pantothenate calcium), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride), vitamin B9 (folic acid), and vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin).
The other ingredients include dextrose (a carrier), lemon acid (an acidity regulator), taurine, a strawberry flavor, red algae powder (Lithothamnion sp.), a kiwi flavor, lactose (a carrier), natural red food coloring (carmine), and sucralose (a sweetener).
What it does
When I ignored the fancy packaging and the ridiculously sour taste, I noticed a real effect. It wasn't there on the first pack, but it showed up on the second, and by the third, it was noticeable.
Yes, with regular or course use, you'll start to see the water retention go down. It's not like a prescription diuretic, though - I could still move around just fine. I actually saw a significant reduction in swelling on my back after taking this for 10 days, and I haven't had any issues since. So, I'd say it works, but I'm still not sure how it'll hold up in the long run.
One more plus: it didn't raise my blood sugar levels, which is a big deal for me since I'm a diabetic. My endocrinologist recommended I try a diuretic like this, and I'd agree it's a good option for people with diabetes - just be aware it's not a permanent solution.
So, why am I giving this a lukewarm review? It's all about the taste - I just can't stand how sour it is. I'd rather have an unpleasant taste in a drink than a sour one.
The verdict
This stuff works, and I saw real results with regular use. It's a good option for people with diabetes, and it's easy to take on the go. You can even mix it with cold water. But, yeah, the taste is a major turnoff for me.
