NSI Carb Blocker With Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer -- 1000 mg - 120 Capsules

NSI Carb Blocker With Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer -- 1000 mg - 120 Capsules

NSI Carb Blocker with Phase 2®  is a natural extract from white kidney beans that may help diminish the effects of the enzyme responsible for the absorption of carbohydrates. The Carb Blocker starch-neutralizer nutrient helps to inhibit the digestive enzyme alpha amylase before it can convert starch into glucose (sugar), and then fat. If these sugar calories are not converted to "fuel" and stored as fat, then the result is weight gain. If you are looking to complement your diet and exercise program, simply take two capsules, along with 8 ounces of water, at the beginning of a meal that contains carbohydrates-such as starch-rich pasta and potatoes.  . Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

Keeps my blood sugar stable, October 5, 2009

"You can't beat the price for starters...

I just started using carb blocker because I've been fairly carb-sensitive lately. I have noticed that my blood sugar remains pretty stable throughout the day using this product. I have a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast around 7:30 a.m. and I'm usually hungry by 10-10:30 a.m. Now I take 2 carb blockers before the oatmeal and I'm not yet hungy at noon!

I don't feel bloated at all after consuming rice or pasta. I also find I don't want as much food including my favorites.

If I do decide to snack, I make sure I take CB first and wait 10 minutes. That really helps keep the snacks to a minimum. By the time I get to the snack, I don't want it as much.

I am going to continue with this product and will report back after a month or so as to whether it's helping me lose weight.

"As an insulin dependant diabetic
I had hoped that this product would lessen the "spike" in glucose after eating a balanced dinner. I did not consume any more carbs, but I did not notice any reduction in the glucose readings 2 hours after eating or the next morning's fasting reading. The only thing this product absorbed was my money.

Great Product, June 28, 2009
By solacemoon from Illinois

"I use this product when I have meals with high carbs I believe it is working I'm not putting on weight and I don't feel that heaviness afterwards like you usually do after a high carb meal.
I think this product is a great idea and I feel less guilty and can enjoy eating what I like.

"I can honestly say that this product has made a difference in my life. I started a low carb diet to facilitate my weight loss. I have been missing my pasta and I have a favorite dish at one of my restaurants that I have had a hard time giving up. I take these pills 15 minutes before the meal and they work. I have not gained any weight since using these pills"

"I received the product on Christmas Eve. Although I've only lost a few pounds since, I also didn't gain any weight with all the available holiday goodies, that I did indulge in.

I've also noticed that it seems most effective if I take two tablets 10-15 minutes before eating as opposed to 5-10 minutes as recommended on the bottle. The best part is that it's killed my desire to munch between meals.

I'm going to stick with it for a while, and see if the progress picks up teh pace now that I've got a little more free time to devote to a little more exercise.
