Laboratory tests show that one three-tablet serving of Carb Blocker 2 has a powerful carbohydrate-blocking effect. These results suggest that a similar action in humans may help block up to 500 carb calories when consumed with a high-carbohydrate meal.

·        A gentle way to help control calorie absorption from table sugar, and starches such as breads, cereals, pasta, rice, potatoes, peas, dried beans, and other carbohydrate-rich foods.

·        Still gives your body the benefit of the vitamins, minerals, and fiber found in carbohydrate-containing foods.

·         Natural, non-stimulating carbohydrate control.

·         Helps to control appetite swings that trigger hunger.

·         Helps keep you feeling fuller longer.

Technical Information

Alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase are two key digestive enzymes. They break down starches and simple sugars into molecules that can be absorbed by the body – and potentially converted to fat. Nutrilite Carb Blocker 2 inhibits both enzymes, so fewer calories from sugars and starches are absorbed by the body.

Nutritional Information

Each three-tablet serving provides:

·         300 mg of a fermented soybean extract that inhibits alpha-glucosidase (sugar digesting) enzyme activity.

·         500 mg of a white kidney bean extract that inhibits alpha-amylase (starch-digesting) enzyme activity.

·         30 mg Nutrilite’s exclusive Parsley Concentrate, rich with supporting phytonutrients.

Quickie Comments… (compressed from www.quixtar.com - then search for “carb blocker”)

·         Carb Blocker 2 may be used daily as part of a sensible supplement program.

·         For maximum effect, it’s best to take Carb Blocker 2 at the beginning of a meal containing carbohydrates. It must be present in the intestine at the same time as the carbohydrates for it to work.  During a meal is likely to provide some anti-enzyme activity, and taking it after a meal will have little effect.

·       Taking more than three tablets of Carb Blocker 2 at once is not recommended (even if it’s Thanksgiving…). Maximum number of tablets recommended daily is nine.

·         You can space them out as you please, that is, as long as you don’t take more than three at one time, and no more than nine in a day, you can take them during the day in any arrangement suitable (e.g. two at breakfast, one for a snack, three at lunch, one at a snack, two late at night…)

·         Ways to tell if Carb Blocker 2 is working is if you feel fuller during the day, perhaps feel less tired between meals, and, all things being equal, you begin to lose inches off your waistline.

·         Carb Blocker 2 is an ideal complement to CLA 500. Carb Blocker 2 addresses carbohydrate digestion and absorption, while CLA 500 addresses fat metabolism.
