PHASE 2® STARCH NEUTRALIZER/ CARBO BLOCKER Starch/Carbo Blocker: New weight loss innovation from Olympian Labs Foods rich in starch are mainstays of the American diet. Most commonly known as carbohydrates, they are found primarily in bread, crackers, pastas, snack foods, baked goods, rice and potatoes. When consumed in large quantities starchy foods can contribute to significant weight gain. Over-consumption of these types of carbohydrates is the primary contributor to obesity. A new clinically-tested product - Starch/Carbo Blocker - takes a unique scientific approach to reducing the fatproducing power of carbohydrates. Research shows that Starch/Carbo Blocker is highly effective for aiding in weight loss. The problem Most food is broken down by the body into sugar. The sugar - glucose - is the main source of energy for the body to perform all daily activities. Those with a sedentary lifestyle cannot burn all of the glucose. So the body naturally holds onto the excess energy, storing it in the form of fat. The problem is compounded by starch consumption. Starchy foods are converted to glucose very quickly by the body. If the glucose isn’t burned through vigorous physical activity, it adds quickly to the body’s excess fat stores. Digestion inhibitor For more than 20 years, scientists have known that Phaseolus vulgaris can inhibit the digestion of starches. But only recently have researchers discovered how to concentrate the substance properly to effectively block starch digestion and significantly influence weight loss. Phaseolus vulgaris is a chemical that is contained naturally in white kidney beans. To make Starch/Carbo Blocker, the Phaseolus Vulgaris is extracted from the beans, converted to a highly concentrated formula and placed in capsules. Alpha-amylase is a chemical manufactured by the body that is essential for digestion. An enzyme, alpha-amylase reacts with the chemical bonds of food, breaking starch down into sugar. Starch/Carbo Blocker interrupts the work of alpha-amylase. With a protein component, Starch/Carbo Blocker binds to the alpha-amylase enzyme which stops it from breaking down starch. The starch then passes undigested from the body with only a minimal calorie gain. Another benefit of Starch/Carbo Blocker is that by blocking alpha-amylase it prevents the typical spike in blood sugar levels that occur after eating starchy food. That is especially important for people who are hypoglycemic or who have Type II Diabetes. Studies show that two 600mg capsules may neutralize up to 2,700 starch calories. Clinical proof University and hospital studies show that people who take Starch/Carbo Blocker properly lose about one-half pound of fat per week. That adds up to about four pounds over the course of eight weeks - a healthy and sustainable rate of weight loss, according to nutrition experts. Lean body mass - muscle - was not affected by the weight loss. Those who took the product also reported feeling more energetic in their daily acti
