NSI Carb Blocker With Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer -- 1000 mg - 240 Capsules

NSI Carb Blocker With Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer -- 1000 mg - 240 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.

"I do as suggested and take two capsules before eating carbs and they are not absorbed but eiliminated-- much the same way alli works on digested fat. It's not a miracle drug, but works well with a proper diet and exercise and I keep some in my purse when I cannot avoid a high-carb meal at work."

"I've been using Phase 2 for about 1.5 years now and I am convinced it helps. I don't think I could lose weight just by taking it alone, but it definitely helps. I also do cardio and weights and take some other diet pills, but as a vegetarian I naturally eat a lot of carbs and need something like this to help cancel it out."

"I only use it when I go out to eat .. when I want "bad" carbs like a baked potato or pasta or lots of rice with my meat or fish.
My weight has never changed when using this product .. when I didn't use it .. I'd gain 1 to 2 pounds after a heavy meal ..
Carb Blocker works for me!!

Don't See Weight Loss Yet, April 27, 2009
By mouseissue

"I've been using this product for 3-1/2 weeks but have not seen any weight loss.

This product is supposed to block alpha amylase (carb metabolizer).

I've read that, in some cases, the body reacts to the inhibition of the alpha amylase by producing glucoamylase. Glucoamylase is also a carb metabolizer.

I will reorder it but also order and use NSI Salacia Oblonga which should inhibit glucoamylase production.

I'll give it a month with both products to see what happens. I will report back on the outcome.

"CARBS ARE LIKE POISON TO MY BODY . WHEN I AM ON A DIET, EVEN THE SMALLEST AMOUNT OF CARBS WILL KEEP ME FROM LOSING. BEFORE CARB BLOCKER, I WAS LOSING .5 TO 1 LB A WEEK, AND THATS WITH 7 DAYS OF EXERCISING. AFTER USING CARB BLOCKER. I AM TAKING OF AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT 1.5 TO 2 LBS A WEEK, AND THATS WITH CHEATING. I USE THEM WHEN I CHEAT AND ITS LIKE IT KEEPS IT FROM EFFECTING MY DIET."
