Simple Steps Carb Down from Food Science Of Vermont

A dietary supplement to Inhibit Carbohydrate Absorption.*

Carb-Down™ is a unique combination of Phase 2™ brand starch neutralizer, Gymnema Sylvestre, and Chromemate® brand chromium polynicotinate. Phase 2™ starch neutralizer is an extract from the white kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). Research has shown that this extract can block the absorption of carbohydrates from starches because it contains a protein component that inhibits the enzyme, alpha-amylase from breaking down carbohydrates from foods. When this enzyme is blocked, the starch that's eaten cannot be converted to fat, as stored energy.* In a recent double-blind study in humans, Phase 2™ starch neutralizer decreased the percentage of caloric burden from complex carbohydrates by 60%.* The addition of Gymnema sylvestre and Chromemate is to support appetite control and glucose metabolism.*

Carb-Down™ is the newest member of our Simple Steps® Weight Management product line.

Ingredients: Each vegetarian capsule contains 500 mg of Phase 2™ brand Phaseolus vulgaris; 100 mcg of Chromium Polynicotinate and 100 mg of Gymnema sylvestre (leaf) extract.
