Advantage Carb Blocker's ingredients include: Chromium picolinate: Chromium is an essential trace mineral shown in studies to aid in building muscle, promote weight loss and work with insulin in assisting cells to take in glucose and release energy. Chromium is also thought to contribute to the suppression of food cravings. Picolinate is one of the easiest forms of Chromium for the body to uptake.1 White Kidney Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris): Recently, Phaseolus vulgaris has become one of the most popular dietary supplements due to it ability to inhibit alpha-amylase, the digestive enzyme that converts starches to body fat2. Gymnema Sylvestris: As the popularity of Ayurvedic, or Indian, herbs continue to grow, one of the emerging stars of the Ayurvedic system is Gymnema sylvestris, also known as gurmar. Gymnemic acid has been shown in a recent study to inhibit the sodium ion-dependent active glucose transport in the small intestine, preventing unnecessary sugar from entering the circulatory system.3 Green Tea (Camillia sinensis): According to the Physician's Desk Reference Health Online, green tea has a thermogenic, or heat-generating effect in the body. The reason for this is still being studied, but it is believed to be due to green tea's ability to inhibit the enzyme catechol-O-methyl transferase. This enzyme inactivates noradrenaline, the hormone that increases the sugar level in the blood. Calcium Pyruvate: The benefits of Calcium for the body are well-known and a deficiency of calcium in the system can lead to osteoporosis, a thinning of the bones. Calcium pyruvate is the beginning compound in the energy-creating system in the body known as the Krebs Cycle.
