Carb blockers, also known as starch blockers,  are made up of bean and wheat germ extracts.  This mainly consists of white kidney beans, which are known to inhibit a digestive enzyme that breaks down starchy carbs.  Starchy carbs are food items like potatoes, bread, and pasta.

Carbohydrate blockers supposedly prevent carbs from being absorbed by the body.  Instead, the blockers make them pass through the digestive tract and be disposed over naturally.  Most pills available on the market today claim to inhibit about 30-45 grams of carbs from being absorbed.

A carb blocker supplement helps a person to lose weight by preventing carbohydrates that we consume from being stored as fat in our bodies. It is interesting to note there have been clinical studies conducted which claims that carb blockers do work but the studies were not conclusive. However in my opinion, carb blocker pill does work but the results will vary from person to person.

The main ingredient to be found in carb blocker pills is phaselous vulgaris which is an extract taken from the white kidney bean and wheat germ. It is claimed that by taking carb blocker pills, you are helping to prevent a digestive enzyme known as alpha amylase from breaking carbohydrates down into glucose and in turn into fat.

So instead of your body retaining the carbohydrates and turning them into stored fat, they are removed from the body before they actually have a chance to enter your bloodstream. It is also claimed that these pills can prevent as much as 30 to 45 grams of carbohydrates being absorbed into the body.
