Collection: Burn Fat & Carbs Blockers
There are a number of supplements that are marketed as "fat blockers" or "carb blockers." These supplements are often made from natural ingredients such as white kidney beans, phaseolamin, or green coffee extract.
Fat blockers are claimed to work by inhibiting the enzyme lipase, which is responsible for breaking down fats in the digestive system. Some fat blockers are also thought to bind to fat molecules, making them too large to be absorbed by the body. However, the effectiveness of fat blockers is not well established, and they may not provide significant weight loss benefits.
Carb blockers, also known as starch blockers or alpha-amylase inhibitors, are claimed to work by inhibiting the enzyme alpha-amylase, which is responsible for breaking down carbohydrates in the digestive system. Some carb blockers are also thought to bind to carbohydrates, making them too large to be absorbed by the body. Like fat blockers, the effectiveness of carb blockers is not well established, and they may not provide significant weight loss benefits.
