what does a carb blocker do
Carb blockers, also known as starch blockers, are generally composed mainly of bean and wheat germ extracts â particularly white kidney beans â that are said to inhibit a digestive enzyme that breaks down starchy carbohydrates, such as potatoes, bread and pasta.
Some carb blockers are prescribed by doctors to help lower blood sugar in people with diabetes. The prescription meds are produced by fermenting microorganisms.
