CARB AND SUGAR BLOCKERS

CARB AND SUGAR BLOCKERS

What is carb

Carbohydrates, a.k.a. carbs are the primary energy source for our body. Carbs are basically the sugar, starch and fibres found in our food, fruits, grains, vegetables and milk products.

Carbs are one of the 3 essential macronutrients for our body – Protein, Carbohydrates, Fat.Carbohydrates are the molecules that the body breaks into sugar and which is then produces energy.

What Are Carb Blockers?

Carb blockers, in basic terms, helps prevent the breakdown of starches.

This turns the starches indigestible, transforming a molecule that would ordinarily deliver 4 calories per gram and raise blood sugar into an inert material that just passes through our gastrointestinal system.

Carb blockers accomplish this by limiting the activity of particular enzymes that aid in the breakdown of longer chains of carbohydrates molecules into easily digested simple sugars. These substances are known as Phaseolus vulgaris extract or white kidney bean extract and are derived from beans.

How Do Carb Blockers Work?

Carb blockers lower the amount of glucose and insulin spikes that your body experiences after consuming refined carbs. Anything from rice, pasta, and bread to pizza, popcorn, carbonated beverages, sugary cereals, chocolates, sweets, and pudding—you get the picture.
