DaVinci Labs' Carb Down contains proprietary forms of carb neutralizers Phaseoulus vulgaris and Gymnema sylvestre, along with chromium. Some potential benefits may include:
- Inhibits carbohydrate absorption: Carb Down™ contains Phase 2, a patented starch neutralizer extracted from white kidney beans. Phase 2 has been shown to block the absorption of carbohydrates from starch by inhibiting the enzyme alpha-amylase. This may help to reduce the number of calories absorbed from starchy foods.
- Supports weight management: By inhibiting carbohydrate absorption, Carb Down may help to reduce calorie intake and promote weight loss. A double-blind study in humans found that Phase 2 starch neutralizer decreased the percentage of caloric burden from complex carbohydrates by 60%.
- Supports appetite control: Carb Down contains Gymnema sylvestre, an herb that has been shown to suppress appetite. Gymnema sylvestre works by reducing the sweetness of foods, making them less appealing.
- Supports glucose metabolism: Carb Down contains chromium, a mineral that plays an important role in glucose metabolism. Chromium may help to improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels.
Suggested Use:
As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule with water, before any meal containing carbohydrates from starch, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
