Carb Blockers
Quite possibly one of the most publicised “evils” when it comes to fat gain is Carbohydrates. Those who train professionally will know that carbs are not necessarily a bad thing and may even supplement them for energy purposes. However, carbohydrate supplementation is generally only beneficial for bodybuilders and athletes who are Training enough to burn through it. With all the hype surrounding carbs, it’s no surprise that scientists came up with a way to effectively “block” their effects. The purpose of carb blockers, or starch blockers, is to prevent carbs from being stored as fat by blocking their absorption once entering the body. The intent is to cause weight loss, but this product is also popular as a weight maintainer.
The primary ingredient in many carb blocker products is a white kidney bean extract named phaselous vulgaris. Its function is to stop carbs from being converted into glucose and fat by disrupting the process of an enzyme in the body called alpha-amylase. Alpha-amylase is responsible for breaking down carbohydrates into glucose and fat. By interfering with alpha-amylase, carb blockers will theoretically ensure that carbohydrates are excreted from the body before entering the bloodstream and being and stored as fat. The average carb blocker claims to block up to 30 to 45 grams of carbohydrates from being broken down into glucose and fat. Carb blockers essentially decrease the user’s calorie intake, so this type of product is mainly suited to anyone wanting to lose weight or for anyone who puts on weight easily after consuming carbohydrates. Predominantly available in capsule form, it is recommended that users take carb blockers just before meals, particularly meals high in carbohydrates. As carbohydrates provide the body with energy via glucose, a carb blocker user is also reducing the amount of energy that their body receives.
Stacking with Energy Supplements such as stimulants, Creatine or HMB may assist with depleted energy stores. Carb blockers are considered safe with little to no negative side effects. As always one should though as a precaution check with your health care professional before starting any supplementation programe, especially if you suffer from any liver, kidney or pre-existing medical condition. Females should not take carb blockers while pregnant or lactating.
