- BEANBLOCK® Features and Benefits
BEANBLOCK® P. vulgaris bean extract is supported and proven effective by extensive data.
Acute oral administration in healthy volunteers has shown that:
- BEANBLOCK® employed as supplement in a mixed Mediterranean balanced meal positively affected glucose metabolism in healthy volunteers.
- BEANBLOCK® modulates ghrelin secretion and induces a longer duration of satiety in healthy volunteers, suggesting a potential use to control excessive food intake.
- Product Overview
- Phaseolus vulgaris L. that everyone knows as common bean is among the richest food sources of proteins, amino acids, complex carbohydrates, dietary fibers and oligosaccharides.
- Derived from a single and specific Italian bean variety (Lamon white kidney bean) Beanblock®, a patented purified bean extract supported by extensive data, can positively optimize food consumption, body weight, lipid accumulation and blood sugar.
- The efficacy of our bean’s active ingredients in maintaining body balance is powered by the unique formulation of the triple standardized extract: this is the way Beanblock® contributes to keep a healthy equilibrium.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Beanblock® into Action
- Employed as supplement in a mixed Mediterranean balanced meal, Beanblock®, successfully affects glucose metabolism and shows the potential to balance body weight, glycemia, insulin and C-peptide excursions.
- Plus, it modulates ghrelin secretion, a hormone that plays a key role in regulating appetite and, by consequence, in satiety feeling, suggesting a potential use of Beanblock® for maintaining food intake at an healthy level.
- Beanblock® mechanisms of action include the inhibition of alpha-amylase, resulting in a suitable management of carbohydrate metabolism and absorption, and hemagglutinin modulation.
