Zao® Carb Blocker is a dietary supplement to inhibit carbohydrate absorption.* This formula has been designed to support weight loss and weight management by inhibiting the absorption of carbohydrates, reducing craving for sugar, and supporting glucose metabolism and insulin efficiency.* Carbohydrates are needed by the body for energy. Current research recommends a carbohydrate intake of approximately 130 grams per day for weight reduction. Zao® Carb Blocker is ideal for those whose carbohydrate intake is higher than 130 grams. Excessive carbohydrate intake in the form of empty calories will be stored in the body as fat. Learning to manage carbohydrate intake is a key to successful weight loss. One capsule of Zao® Carb Blocker blocks up to 100 grams (400 calories) of starch.*
Zao® Carb Blocker is a unique combination of Phase 2™ brand starch neutralizer, Gymnema Sylvestre, and Chromemate® brand chromium. Together these three active ingredients work together to promote healthy and effective weight control by promoting fat burning, maintain normal blood glucose levels, and neutralizing the calories from complex carbohydrates.
Phase 2™ Starch Neutralizer
A natural extract from the white kidney bean (phaseolus vulgaris).
Binds the enzyme, alpha-amylase, that is necessary for the body to break down starch.* Because it targets this specific enzyme, it only works on carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients from foods that are still absorbed and utilized normally.*
Does not enter the bloodstream but stays in the digestive tract and blocks absorption of carbohydrates (from starch) and causes them and the excess calories to be excreted and not digested.*
In a recent double-blind study in humans, Phase 2™ starch neutralizer decreased the percentage of caloric burden from complex carbohydrates by 60%.*
Gymnema Sylvestre and Chromemate® (chromium)
Supports appetite control and reduction of sugar craving by maintaining blood sugar levels within normal ranges and supporting proper insulin utilization.* Proper regulation of insulin also helps the body stay focused on burning fat.*
Chromemate (chromium) is the niacin brand chromium complex, which is the active glucose tolerance factor responsible for efficient insulin action.*
