Ingredients explained
White Kidney Bean Extract (Phaseolus vulgaris)
Compounds in white kidney bean may inhibit alpha-amylase, which slows the breakdown of dietary starch into absorbable sugars.
Caution: Take before starchy meals as directed; excessive intake may cause digestive discomfort such as gas or bloating due to undigested carbohydrates.
Chromium (as Chromium Dinicotinate Glycinate)
Chromium is involved in insulin signalling and may support normal carbohydrate metabolism and glucose handling.
Caution: High intakes may affect blood sugar responses; monitor how you feel, especially if you have variable energy after meals.
Vanadium (as Bis-Maltolato Oxo Vanadium, BMOV)
Vanadium compounds are studied for insulin-mimetic activity that may influence cellular glucose uptake and carbohydrate utilisation.
Caution: Use within recommended amounts, as large doses of vanadium compounds may cause gastrointestinal upset or a metallic taste.
How they work together
White kidney bean targets starch breakdown in the gut, reducing the formation of simple sugars from complex carbohydrates. Chromium and vanadium focus on glucose handling at the cellular level, complementing the digestive action by supporting carbohydrate metabolism after meals.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Keep out of the reach of children. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a doctor before use. Consult a healthcare practitioner before starting a weight loss programme.
Who should be cautious: People with blood sugar concerns or on diabetes medications may wish to be cautious due to chromium and vanadium. Those with legume allergies should be cautious with white kidney bean extract. If you use medications that may interact with supplements, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.

- The Diet Company®
CBlock™ is a dietary supplement that contains ingredients proven to block carbohydrate absorption from starchy foods.
CBlock™ contains Trim Plex™, a laboratory tested extract of the white kidney bean (phaseolus vulgaris) which has been shown to inhibit the absorption of starch from food. Trim Plex™ inhibits the product of the alpha amylase enzyme, which breaks down starches into sugars for digestion. CBlock™ goes even further, with added chromium and vanadium, two elements that help regulate blood sugar levels. This maintains your metabolism and trims your cravings for carbohydrates.
CBlock™ was designed to supplement weight loss programmes that include a healthy diet (low carb diet and others) and regular exercise. These factors will vary weight loss.
CBlock™ inhibits the absorption of starch from starchy foods, including: pasta, potatoes, bread, pastry, rice, wheat, oats (oatmeal), wild rice, barley, buckwheat (kasha), rolls, muffins, cereals, sweet potatoes, peas, corn, beans and lentils.
