About the Product
Amix Carb Blocker is a dietary supplement in capsules developed to support weight control and carbohydrate intake management, through a formula of 10 active ingredients with complementary mechanisms of action. The formula combines StarchLite® 500 mg (patented white bean extract for amylase inhibition), CitriMax® HCA 200 mg (Garcinia cambogia extract with Hydroxycitric Acid), Caralluma fimbriata 200 mg, Gymnema sylvestre 150 mg, Chitosan 100 mg, L-Carnitine 100 mg, Green Tea Extract, Chromium, and B-complex vitamins. A multifactorial formula aimed at controlling carbohydrate absorption, appetite suppression, and supporting energy metabolism.
Benefits
StarchLite® for amylase inhibition and partial blocking of starch digestion: StarchLite® is a patented white bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) extract that acts as a competitive inhibitor of alpha-amylase, the pancreatic enzyme responsible for digesting starch into absorbable simple sugars. By partially inhibiting alpha-amylase, StarchLite® reduces the amount of complex carbohydrates that are digested and absorbed after a starchy meal—bread, pasta, rice, potatoes—resulting in a reduction of effective caloric intake without needing to eliminate these foods from the diet. This approach is particularly relevant for those who find it difficult to reduce carbohydrate consumption due to food preferences or social context.
CitriMax® HCA for lipogenesis inhibition and appetite suppression: CitriMax® is a patented form of Garcinia cambogia extract standardized for Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA), an inhibitor of the ATP-citrate lyase enzyme, responsible for converting citrate into acetyl-CoA—the precursor for fatty acid synthesis (lipogenesis) from excess carbohydrates. By inhibiting this metabolic pathway, HCA reduces the conversion of carbohydrates into stored fat, contributing to long-term weight control. HCA also increases brain serotonin levels, contributing to reduced appetite and compulsive eating behaviors associated with emotional stress.
Caralluma fimbriata and Gymnema sylvestre for appetite and blood sugar control: Caralluma fimbriata is a succulent plant traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine as an appetite suppressant during times of food scarcity. Its active compounds—pregnane glycosides—modulate hypothalamic centers that regulate appetite, reducing the feeling of hunger without resorting to central nervous system stimulants. Gymnema sylvestre, known as the "sugar destroyer" in traditional Indian medicine, contains gymnemic acids that reduce intestinal glucose absorption and temporarily suppress the perception of sweet taste, contributing to a reduction in cravings for sugary foods.
Chitosan for dietary fat sequestration: Chitosan is a natural fiber of animal origin (derived from crustacean chitin) with the ability to ionically bind to fats and bile acids in the gastrointestinal tract, forming an insoluble complex that is not absorbed and is excreted in the feces. This lipid sequestration mechanism reduces the absorption of dietary fats, further contributing to the reduction of the meal's total caloric intake.
L-Carnitine for lipid metabolism support: L-Carnitine supports the preferential use of fatty acids as an energy substrate, facilitating their transport into the mitochondria where they are oxidized to produce ATP. Its inclusion complements the macronutrient absorption blocking mechanisms with support for the mobilization and burning of already stored fats.
Usage
Recommended dose: Take the recommended capsules with a large glass of water 30 minutes before main meals rich in carbohydrates or fats. Consult the packaging for the specific dose.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and humidity. Keep out of reach of children.
