Product Description
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.
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.
