Controls blood glucose levels in type 2 DM. Improves intestinal rhythm and prevents constipation. Sportsmen and women who consume too many carbohydrates, to prevent weight gain. Excessive intake or poor breakdown of carbohydrates and dietary fats promotes weight gain. Holiday periods, recurrent work meals, poor calorie management due to insufficient physical activity and/or motivation to maintain a balanced diet are all factors that imply a risk of over-consumption of calories from sugars and fats. BLOCKFAT reduces the absorption of carbohydrates and dietary fats ingested during meals. The combination of plant extracts and chromium picolinate that make up BLOCKFAT helps in weight management in conjunction with a balanced diet and exercise programme Phasolamine is a protein found in some legumes such as beans and kidney beans. It inhibits the starch-digesting enzyme involved in the digestion of complex carbohydrates. It slows down the absorption of sugars and increases satiety. One gram of faseolamine neutralises 2,750 calories of starch in vitro (about 600g of spaghetti). Nopal, a cactus plant, is rich in vitamin C, vegetable fibre and pectins. The pectins it contains are polysaccharides that regulate the absorption of glucose in the intestine, thus preventing postprandial hyperglycaemia. Its soluble fibre produces satiety and is able to reduce the absorption of dietary fats at each meal. Chromium picolinate, chromium helps to maintain normal blood glucose levels and increases insulin activity.DOSAGE: Dosage is for information purposes only and should be adapted to each patient at the discretion of a health professional.
