Double BlockTM

All-Natural Carbohydrate & Fat Controller

Double Block contains a unique blend of all natural ingredients that work by decreasing the amount of carbohydrates and fats that your body absorbs. It contains two key active ingredients Phase 2 and Golden Mushroom extract.

Phase 2 is an all-natural, white kidney bean extract that prevents the conversion of carbohydrates into body fats. It is clinically & scientifically proven to neutralize starch (contained commonly in rice, noodles and bread) blocking up to 66% of carbohydrates.

Golden Mushroom Extract works as an all natural ‘fat blocker’ that lines the intestine wall and temporarily prevents the absorption of fat by up to 60%. It also binds with lipids (liquid fats) so that the unabsorbed fat is excreted together with undigested fibre from the body reducing the caloric intake.

Phase 2 holds two US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) claims:

US Food and Drug Administration
  • May assist in weight control when used in conjunction with a sensible diet and exercise.
  • May reduce the enzymatic digestion of dietary starches. *
