As vegetarian dietary supplement to inhibit carbohydrate absorption, Carb-Down is a unique combination of the Phase 2 brand starch neutralizer, Gymnema sylvestre, and Chromemate brand chromium polynicotinate.
- Phase 2 starch neutralizer is an extract from the white kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris).
- Research shows that this extract can block the absorption of carbohydrates from starch because it contains a protein component that inhibits the enzyme alpha-amylase from breaking down carbohydrates from foods.
- When this enzyme is blocked, the starch that’s eaten cannot be converted to fat.
- In a recent double-blind study in humans, Phase 2 starch neutralizer decreased the percentage of caloric burden from complex carbohydrates by 60%.
- The addition of Gymnema sylvestre and Chromemate is to support appetite control and glucose metabolism.
Suggested Use
- As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule with water, before any meal containing carbohydrates from starch, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
