What are carb blocker or starch blocker pills?
Just pop into any pharmacy or supermarket and you will see many brands of carb
blockers pills and capsules packed in different forms and labels for sale. The
carb blocker pills or more technically, starch blocker pills are supposed to
block carbohydrate absorption from the carbs you have eaten for weight
management and weight
loss purposes.
Manufacturers are reporting millions and millions of bottles
are being sold and the carb blockers are literally flying off the shelves.
Carb blocker pills are generally made from bean and wheat germ extracts,
usually from white kidney beans.
Carb blocker pills when taken are supposed inhibit the
release of a digestive enzyme called alpha amylase that breaks down starchy
carbohydrates such as white rice, pasta, noodles, cakes etc. This then prevent
carbohydrates or starch from converting into glucose and then becoming body
fat if not quickly used up quickly as an energy source. The blocked and
unabsorbed carbs are then passed through the intestinal tracts and
subsequently excreted along with your bowels.

Are there any side effects from taking carb blockers pills or capsules?
There are many documented complaints that some people suffer from various
minor side effects and discomforts such stomach bloating, gas, nausea,
vomiting, and diarrhea after consuming the carb blocker pills as part of their
weight loss program. However, carb blocker manufacturers consistently claim
that these syptoms are actually manisfestations that carb blocker pills or
capsules are working well.
Do carb blocker pills or capsules really work?
Do the pills block carbs from being absorbed by the body. Are carb blocker
pills or capsules effective in blocking carbohydrate absorption and help
people to lose weight?
Early reports and researches are not very convincing. However, recent studies
at the Mayo Clinic seem to suggest that much higher doses than those found in
most commercial carb blocker pills or capsules did slow down carbohydrate
absorption but was not proven that they could help you to lose weight.
What is my take on carb blocker pills? Well, if it is just as simple as
popping some magical pills or capsules and you will lose weight and manage
your weight successfully, then the world most obese nation, America, should be
able to solve its obesity problems easily along with many obesity related
diseases since people will be losing or maintaining their weight easily by
using carb/starch blocking pills and capsules. Apparently this is not the
case, isn't it?
So from this simple fact, you can draw your own conclusion as to whether
carb blocker pills and starch blocker capsules indeed do work or not. Write to
