Step 3 of the programme

Disrupts the synthesis of new fat and blocks the absorption of excess oil and starch — blocking three times in the gut to make sure starch and oil are fully blocked.

Obesity Has Become
a Social Challenge

Over the past 20 years, obesity has become one of the world's leading public health problems. The root cause is an imbalance between the energy we take in and the energy we use, which leads to too much fat building up in the body.

The World Health Organization defines obesity as "abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health". Beyond changing how you look, obesity also puts extra strain on the organs and raises the risk of metabolic and endocrine disorders.

Genes, illness, poor eating habits, lack of exercise, and inflammation triggered by the stress of life and work eventually lead to an immune–metabolic imbalance. That is why tackling obesity has become a key concern for society as a whole.

Stop the burden the moment it passes your lips

Blocking sugar, oil and starch — all three pathways at once — so no meal ends up as body fat.

Three Hurdles on the Road to Slimming

When slimming down, a good metabolism and a healthy digestive system are essential.

A bowl of white rice
Starch

Carbohydrates give the body energy, but it only needs about 50 g a day. The excess is converted into sugar, enters the bloodstream and raises blood sugar, then turns into fat.

A pile of white sugar
Sugar

Added sugar is everywhere. Even yoghurt, juice and cereal — foods seen as healthy — are loaded with it. And even pure juice with no added sugar is surprisingly high in sugar, because the fibre has been removed.

A small dish of cooking oil
Fried food

Fried food is high in calories, oil and oxidised compounds, and hard to digest. Eating it often can slow your metabolism and add unwanted weight. High heat also destroys the vitamins A and E in the oil.

The Cost of a High-sugar, High-fat Diet

Many foods you wouldn't expect are high in oil, salt or sugar. Surrounded by unhealthy food, the burden on your body builds up over time.

Obesity
High-calorie fats, too much fat build-up
Insulin resistance
High-carb diets disrupt insulin secretion
Foggy head
Unstable blood sugar, tired and sleepy
Slower metabolism
Metabolism drops and is thrown off balance
Fatty liver
Disrupted lipid metabolism; fat builds up in the liver
Endocrine imbalance
Hormonal disruption, irregular periods
Weaker immunity
Lower immune response and resistance
Indigestion
Excess stomach acid, overworked digestion
Cardiovascular strain
Unhealthy diet, obesity and inactivity
Mood swings
Sharp ups and downs that are hard to control
Skin ageing
Glycation leaves skin rough, dull and wrinkled
High blood sugar, lipids & blood pressure
High-sugar diets raise insulin levels
Weaker memory
Affects the brain and nervous system
Bone loss
Long-term high-fat diets deplete bone minerals
Lower fertility
Affects sex hormones and related systems
Block it at the source

“
It's not that you eat too much
it's that you absorb too fast

Once insulin sensitivity drops, blood sugar swings more and fat forms faster. Block the oil and sugar load first, and everyday meals won't turn into body fat.

Disrupt New Fat Synthesis
Block Oil and Starch

SEMICA is rich in plant extracts. By specifically blocking starch and oil, it disrupts the synthesis of new fat and stops the body from absorbing too much oil and starch.

Triple blocking works three times in the gut, making sure starch and oil are fully blocked in the body.

Block Starch, Fight Sugar: 5 Steps

FOOD IN  →→  METABOLISED & EXPELLED
阻
01
Starch  →  maltose
α-amylase
↓
INGREDIENTS AT WORK
Purple corn · white kidney bean
Inhibit α-amylase activity, so starch can't be cut into maltose.
阻
02
Maltose  →  glucose
α-glucosidase
↓
INGREDIENTS AT WORK
Calamansi · orange peel
Inhibit α-glucosidase, so it is hard to break down into absorbable glucose.
阻
03
Glucose  →  gut-wall absorption
Sugar transport across the gut wall
↓
INGREDIENTS AT WORK
Pea fibre
Forms a sticky fibre layer on the gut wall that slows sugar passing through.
调
04
Blood sugar  →  insulin
Insulin sensitivity

INGREDIENTS AT WORK
Citric acid · wild mango seed
Reduce insulin resistance and speed up sugar metabolism.

INGREDIENTS AT WORK
Guarana
Reduces new fat synthesis, so sugar is used up rather than stored.

Absorb and Wrap: 5 Steps

FOOD IN  →→  METABOLISED & EXPELLED
阻
01
Fat  →  fatty acids
Pancreatic lipase
