Carbohydrate blockers or ‘carb blockers’ work by using an all natural nutritional ingredient that neutralizes the digestive enzyme alpha amylase before it can convert starch into glucose and then fat. Essentially, it allows the carbohydrates to pass through your body’s digestive system with less caloric intake. Clinical studies have shown that carb blockers can reduce the absorption of starch by 66-75% resulting in a significantly less net caloric intake.

You see, what happens during your body’s digestive process is that your body converts carbohydrates, found in starchy foods such as potatoes, pasta and bread into sugar. Your body does this by breaking=down the carbohydrate molecule with alpha amylase, an enzyme that is produced in the pancreas. The sugar calories are then burned off through exercise or stored as fat cells for future use. Unfortunately for many, inactivity means that these stored fat cells accumulate and over time the end result is weight gain.

If you’re like 90% of the world’s population and find it difficult to cut down on delicious foods filled with carbohydrates such as pasta, cake, bread, potato chips and ice cream a high quality carb blocker may be just what you need.
