Eat without the guilt with the
Doctors Diet Carb Block, a revolutionary new product that can actually prevent up to 38 grams of
sugars and carbohydrates from being absorbed by your body per meal (114 grams per day or
456 calories). With Carb Block, you can eat your favorite foods and snacks and
worry less about sticking to your low carbohydrate diet. Expected benefits from Carb Block
supplementation may include: What makes Doctors Diet Carb
Block so exciting and so
revolutionary is its unique blend of seven active ingredients, including the
proprietary extracts, Phaseolin EX and Gymnemalin. To this potent duo, we’ve
added patented chromium in the form of both picolinate and polynicotinate,
vanadium, magnesium, and the amazing new alpha lipoic acid. When we eat
carbohydrates, our pancreas releases
alpha-amylase into our intestines. Alpha-amylase is an enzyme which breaks down
carbs into smaller constituent parts-dextrins which are further broken down and
absorbed by the body as glucose. Excess glucose, as dieters know, is stored by
the body as fat. By preventing this breakdown, you prevent the absorption of
these carbohydrate calories. Phaseoln clocks carbohydrate absorption by interfering
with the actions of alpha-amylase. By attaching itself to the carbohydrate
molecule at that point where alpha-amylase would normally cleave (split) the
compound into dextrins, carbohydrate digestion is blocked-the compound is not broken
down into its smaller units and it passes through the body without being
absorbed. Gymnemalin, a natural and purified source of
gymnemic acid (gymnemin), can exert hypoglycemic actions. When taken before
carbohydrate-rich meals, Carb Block, through Gymnemalin, can reduce blood sugar levels,
which in turn, will blunt insulin response. In one study, gymnema was found to
be as pharmacologically effective in reducing blood glucose levels as the drug
to butamide. Research theorizes that Gymnemalin exerts its actions by increasing
insulin sensitivity in individuals, a particularly beneficial effect for low
carbohydrate dieters For many low carbohydrate dieters looking to lose weight,
reducing carb intake is a daunting task in and of itself. Blocking carbohydrates is one
solution to this thorny issue. However, to make matters worse, another problem
that overweight individuals face is insulin resistance. To maximize results,
individuals on a low carbohydrate diet need to lower carb intake (or block it) and
simultaneously maximize insulin function. Insulin is a potent hormone which is involved in
the metabolism of carbohydrates, fat and protein. Insulin also affects our
appetites. sugar and carb cravings-insulin control the hypothalamic satiety
center (appestat) and it plays a key role in the formation of serotonin, a
neurotransmitter that controls sugar and carbohydrate cravings (e.g., bingeing). Insulin resistance occurs when there is a defect
insulin receptor sites or insulin receptor-directed metabolism. Strongly linked
with obesity, insulin resistance leads to decreased insulin function and
hyperinsulinemia (increased blood insulin levels) which can ultimately lead to
diabetes mellitus and heart disease. For low carb dieters, insulin resistance can make
or break their diets. Blocking carbohydrate absorption is only half of the battIe.
Re-establishing proper insulin function is the other half. Chromium can help.
Not just any chromium will suffice. The exclusive chromium blend found in this
supplement has the proven effectiveness of six U.S. patents standing behind it
(#5,087,623, #5,087, 624, #5,175,156, #5,194,615, #4,923,855 and 4,954,492). The
chromium blend found in Carb Block has been documented in numerous studies to
maximize insulin function and stabilize blood sugar levels. Furthermore,
individuals who consume greater amounts of refined foods and simple sugars tend
to be chromium deficient these foods can increase the loss of chromium through
urine. In sum, by potentiating insulin and thus enhancing glucose function,
chromium can enhance fat and carb metabolism. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), the
amazing new nutrient, is the final piece of the puzzle. ALA can help lower blood
sugar levels by working alongside chromium and insulin to promote glucose
metabolism. Researchers believe that ALA works by improving the transport of
glucose from the blood into muscle cells where they are burned for energy
(Metabolism 1997;46:763-68). Vanadium, an essential trace mineral, can further
help control blood sugar, enhance glucose metabolism, and increase insulin
sensitivity. Magnesium plays a critical role in insulin function. Without
adequate magnesium levels, blood sugar control is significantly impaired. Like
chromium and vanadium magnesium can help insulin function, glucose tolerance,
and glucose metabolism. Taken together, chromium, vanadium, alpha-lipoic
acid, and magnesium offer a powerful front in the fight against insulin
resistance and impaired glucose metabolism. Combined with the potent actions of
Phaseolin EX and Gymnemalin, Doctor's Diet Carb Block offers a complete and perfect solution
for any low carbohydrate dieter. Carb
