Carb Block
Review Summary
Carb Block is a new product from Universal Nutrition for those struggling to maintain low-carbohydrate diets. With this supplement, it is possible that 114 grams of carbohydrates and sugars (456 calories) can be blocked from bodily absorption, daily. The formula is advertised to react with the body to control insulin surges that often occur after carbohydrate intake, and therefore allows the inclusion of carbohydrates in a diet without the weight-gaining results. The marketing behind Carb Block, suggests that the dieter is essentially able to “cheat” without repercussions.

Ingredients at a Glance
Carb Block contains Alpha Lipoic Acid, Phaseolus Vulgaris Extract, Gymnema Sylvestre Extract, Magnesium Stearate and Steric Acid. Carb Block now includes ingredients which help the body manage glucose metabolism by breaking down alpha-amylase enzymes and obstructing excess fat storage.

Ingredients In Focus
Carb Block now includes vanadium and alpha-lipoic acid which interferes with the breakdown of alpha-amylase enzymes that become visible as fat. When we eat carbs, 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.

The magnesium present in Carb Block helps regulate the body’s sugar levels and is also known to be involved in the energy metabolism. Yet, excess magnesium can result in side effects such as changes in mental status, nausea, difficulty breathing.

Diet Lifestyle
This product is effective for those low-carbohydrate dieters who can not say “no” when it comes to certain foods. Rather than curbing the dieter’s appetite, or requiring additional exercise and other lifestyle changes, Carb Block acts independently to maintain the dieter’s weight plan. Instead of lowering carbohydrate intake, this product modifies the effects of the carbohydrates that are eaten.

Positives
• Allows for regular carbohydrate intake
• 60 tablets can be purchased for as low as $15.16


Negatives
• No scientific proof of its effectiveness
• Does not offer trial sample
• Weight loss results are not guaranteed in a specific time frame
• Magnesium may affect blood pressure and diabetes


Final Thoughts
Carb Block initially sounds appealing in its ease and simplicity: 2 tablets, 20 minutes before each meal, and your weight loss plan simple and manageable. There is no mention of additionally necessary exercise and healthy eating habits.

Also, there is no trial sample offered and there is no scientific research available in support of the products claimed effectiveness. The website does not offer any consumer reviews of the product. In conclusion, the product is best tolerated by those who do not have a problem with Magnesium.
