Carb Blockers Diet Pills

Although no clinical studies done by the medical or research community show that Carb Blockers work for the long term, this diet pill claims to slow down the metabolism of carbohydrates into stored fat. However, marketers of this product seem focus more on short-term intervals. Developers of Carb Blockers seem positive that diet pills can reduce between 30 and 45 grams of carbohydrates from entering into the body. The safe use of these pills, however, is questionable. No long-term study on carb blockers has been done and the Food and Drug Administration has not yet regulated the supplement industry.

The main ingredient found in most Carb Blockers diet pills is phaselous vulgaris, which is an extract of the northern white kidney bean. This extract interferes with the enzyme alpha-amylase that breaks down carbs into glucose. In this process, carbohydrates are excreted from the body before they have time to enter into the bloodstream; this way they do not break down and turn into fat. Many Carb Blocker products have Chromium Picolinate or Alpha Lipoic Acid that reduces sugar cravings and regulates insulin.

White kidney bean extract or Phaselous vulgaris is an important ingredient in Carb Blockers. Some carb blockers diet pills don’t have Phaselous vulgaris so they might not contain sufficient carb-blocking properties.

The proper time to take Carb Blockers diet pills is just before or during a meal so that the carbohydrates from the meal can be absorbed. According to manufacturers, each 1000mg of Phaselous Vulgaris Extract will block up to 50 grams of carbohydrates.
