Carb Control

CarbControl is Phaseolamin 2250, This advanced nutritional product is an extract from the white kidney bean, which inhibits the enzyme alpha amylase, reducing the conversion of complex carbohydrates in starchy foods such as bread, potatoes, and pasta into simpler sugars, preventing absorption of carbohydrate Calories.

As early as the 1940s, scientists discovered that some plants, particularly wheat and beans, contained specific inhibitors of animal alpha amylases, the enzyme that helps turn starch to sugar. Researchers theorized that use of these inhibitors could help improve carbohydrate tolerance in diabetics and aid in weight control. It wasn't until the early 1970s that studies were conducted to determine the specific starch neutralizing ability of the plants.
One of the major active ingredients in Carbotone is Glucosol, a time-tested traditional medicinal plant in Asia. It has been used for centuries as a diet-aid to slim bodies, for high blood-sugar control, to heal mouth ulcers and abdominal pain. Its active ingredient is known as Corosolic acid and studies have shown to enhance glucose transport. Corosolic acid activates the “shuttle” that attracts glucose molecules, which are then transported into cells for energy, thus stabilizing blood glucose levels.

Research into this breakthrough is ongoing, but early indications have shown positive results, including reported, increases in energy

Main applications as reported by literature:

• Supports healthy weight maintenance
• Supports blood sugar balance
• Supports lipoprotein balance
• Improved memory function.

Additional Professional Information

Another major active ingredient in Carbotone is chromium  Studies indicated that GTF stimulates insulin activity directly by binding to both insulin itself and specific insulin receptors. When Chromium is supplemented in the form of GTF and it is active in the human body, it will produce the following results:

• Controls blood glucose by promoting uptake by muscles and organs
• Stimulates burning of glucose for energy
• Reduces fat levels in blood
• Controls blood cholesterol levels
• Increases HDL cholesterol
• Reduces arteriosclerosis
• Stimulates production of essential nerve substances
• Increases resistance to infection
• Stimulates protein synthesis
• Suppresses hunger symptoms through brain “satiety center”

Functions of other Ingredients
Phaseolamin: blocks, inhibits and prevents carbohydrates turning into fat
Vanadium and Molybdenum: Assists with sugar metabolism. Vanadium mimics the effect of insulin on glucose oxidation.  

Supplements sold as "starch blockers" or "carb blockers" are really starch-enzyme blockers; they inhibit the body's production of the starch-digesting enzyme, alpha-amylase. With lessened amounts of alpha-amylase, the body is less able to break down starches (carbohydrates) into sugar (glucose) for further digestion.
