Carb Blockers

Carb Blockers are diet pills that work by inhibiting the metabolism of carbohydrates into stored fat. Brand names include Carb Intercept, Anatril,C Block and Carb Cutter.

There are no clinical studies performed by the mainstream medical and research communities to suggest that Carb Blockers are effective when taken long-term. Studies done by those selling these product are dubious and only focus on short-term intervals and/or results from animal studies alone.

The critical ingredient of Carb Blockers is called phaselous vulgaris, an extract from the northern white kidney bean. The extract interferes with an enzyme in the body called alpha-amylase that breaks down carbohydrates into glucose. Instead of carbohydrates being broken down and turning to fat, the carbs are excreted from the body before they can enter the bloodstream.

Most Carb Blockers products claim the tablets reduce between 30 and 45 grams of carbohydrates from entering the body. Whether these diet pill products are safe or not is an open question. There are no reliable long term studies concerning carb blockers and the supplement industry is not regulated by the FDA.
