Type 2 Defense by PhytAge Laboratories is being marketed as a miracle cure for type 2 diabetes but this video reveals why it's likely a scam. A spam email with the subject line, *“1/2 teaspoon KILLS high blood sugar (diabetes) permanently?”* promises an overnight solution to diabetes by consuming a "white flower herb." The email is signed by a so-called Dr. Steve Klayman and links to a website promoting the product with exaggerated claims and dubious endorsements. Here's why you should stay far away from offers like this.
The email leads to **trytype2defense.com**, a site advertising Type 2 Defense as a “Blood Sugar Control Formula” using phrases like *“9pm diabetes blocker routine.”* It references prestigious institutions like Harvard and Yale, but there’s no evidence they’ve endorsed the product. Similarly, the promotional video uses stock footage and questionable testimonials, often hallmarks of scams. Claims like *“stabilizes blood sugar overnight”* and *“backed by scientists at the National Institute of Health”* are unsupported by credible evidence.
### Deceptive Addresses and Misleading Marketing
The website lists multiple addresses, including a **virtual office** at 12600 Hill Country Boulevard Suite R-275, Bee Cave, TX, and a UPS Store mailbox at 2764 Pleasant Road, Fort Mill, SC. These are not real business offices but rented mailing addresses used to obscure the true operators. The return address for refunds — 285 Northeast Ave, Tallmadge, OH — belongs to a fulfillment center, likely unrelated to the product's creators.
Additionally, reviews on the site appear fabricated, potentially with AI-generated or stock images of supposed customers. There’s no way to verify these testimonials, and similar tactics are used across countless scams. Even the company’s About Us page raises red flags, with vague descriptions and no clear identification of the founders or staff.
### Common Scam Tactics
Scams like this rely on urgency and fear. The site warns of “supply chain breakdowns” to pressure you into buying immediately. It promises a 90-day money-back guarantee with an additional $100 “honest try” incentive, but many such offers — not necessarily this one — come with strings attached, like refunds in store credit instead of cash. Be cautious of any company that hides behind virtual offices and anonymous reviews.
### Protect Yourself From Scams

### Conclusion
The marketing for Type 2 Defense uses all the classic signs of a potential scam: fake reviews, unverifiable claims, and deceptive tactics. Remember, legitimate diabetes treatments are based on scientific research, not miracle cures. Always consult a trusted medical professional before trying new health products.
Please note: I utilized ChatGPT to help write this description. Scammers use AI to scam people. It's time we use AI to bust their scams. Of course, though, I also put in the work to make the video itself.
