Starch Blocker - 60 Capsules

Starch Blocker is an amazing, non-stimulant, all-natural nutritional ingredient that is derived from the white kidney bean. It is the first nutritional ingredient that has been clinically and scientifically proven to neutralize starch found in your favorite foods such as potatoes, breads, pasta, rice, corn and crackers. Laboratory tests of Starch Blocker demonstrate that 500 mg of this ingredient assists in "neutralizing" the digestive enzyme alpha amylase before it can convert starch into glucose and then fat. Starch Blocker is a safe yet powerful nutritional ingredient, clinically studied to reduce the absorption of starch calories.*

During the digestive process, your body converts carbohydrates, found in starchy foods such as potatoes and pasta, into sugar. Your body does this by breaking-down the carbohydrate molecule with alpha amylase, an enzyme that is produced in the pancreas. These sugars are either burned off, through exercise, or stored as fat cells for future use. Unfortunately, inactivity means that these stored fat cells accumulate. The result is weight gain.
