Doppelherz aktiv Calorie Blocker 2 in 1, 30 tablets

This medical device is intended for adults who want a practical option to accompany a calorie-conscious diet. The tablets are designed to be taken before meals and should always be used according to the intake instructions.

The formula is based on two ingredients: OMTEC 50, obtained from natural fibre, and OMTEC XS, obtained from white bean. Together, they form a gel-like substance in the stomach that mixes with food. According to the product information, this helps bind fats and carbohydrates from food in an insoluble form, meaning they are not absorbed in the usual way and are instead excreted undigested.

Recommended intake:
Take 2 tablets 3 times daily, 1 hour before each meal, with at least 1 glass of water, equivalent to 250 ml.

Notes:

• For adults aged 18 years and over.
• Take an additional multivitamin and mineral supplement during use. Doppelherz Calorie Blocker 2 in 1 reduces the levels of certain vitamins and minerals absorbed by the body. Take the vitamin and mineral supplement preferably before bedtime to help ensure that the vitamins and minerals are absorbed by the body.
• Do not take for more than 30 consecutive days. Use may be resumed after a 4-day break.
• No harmful side effects are known, but a temporary feeling of fullness may occur after intake. This usually disappears after a short time. People with a sensitive stomach or bowel may experience abdominal discomfort, nausea, upset stomach, digestive discomfort, abdominal pain, bloating or constipation. If side effects persist, the dose should be reduced or use discontinued.
• The tablets should not be chewed or bitten.
• Do not use if the blister pack is damaged.
• The high fat-binding capacity of Doppelherz Calorie Blocker 2 in 1 may affect the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and active ingredients in medicines. This includes, for example, the hormones in contraceptive pills or in products taken for symptoms associated with the midlife transition. Oral medicines must be taken 1 hour before or 4 hours after taking Doppelherz Calorie Blocker 2 in 1.
• In case of constipation or other side effects, stop use immediately and seek medical advice.

• You are hypersensitive or allergic to any of the ingredients.

• You are taking warfarin, a blood thinner.
• You are underweight, with a body mass index, BMI, below 18.5.
