Phase 2® Cr starch blocker is an alpha-amylase inhibitor with dietary chromium, necessary for sugar metabolism. Research indicates that supplementing with a small amount of chromium may improve sugar metabolism and enhance weight loss.
What is a Phase 2 Starch Blocker ?
Supplements sold as "starch blockers" or "carb blockers" are really starch-enzyme blockers; they inhibit the body's production of the starch-digesting enzyme, alpha-amylase. With lessened amounts of alpha-amylase, the body is less able to break down starches (carbohydrates) into sugar (glucose) for further digestion. That's how starch blockers work - at least on a theoretical level.Health Benefits Of Phase 2® Starch Blocker
Carb Blockers are helpful for those who:•Wish to find help preventing the breakdown of starches into sugars; and
•Would like help in reducing the blood sugar "spike" often associated with consuming starchy foods

- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary “Star-Rating” system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
