Carb Blocker
Brand: Applied Nutrition
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
Applied Nutrition Carb Blocker utilizes Common Bean (White Kidney Bean) extract as a primary alpha-amylase inhibitor. At the cellular level, this plant lectin binds to the digestive enzyme alpha-amylase, which is responsible for breaking down complex carbohydrates into glucose. By inhibiting this enzyme, the extract prevents the hydrolysis of starches in the small intestine, meaning fewer calories from carbohydrates are absorbed. Additionally, Chromium plays a vital role in potentiating insulin activity, enhancing glucose uptake into cells and supporting stable blood sugar levels, which is crucial for metabolic health and energy regulation.

Key benefits include:
- Reduced absorption of dietary starches
