Irwin Natural Maximum Strength 3-in-1 Carb Blocker works to neutralize carbs, enhance digestion and support metabolism. It is specially designed for those who eat pasta, bread and other carbohydrate-rich foods. Unlike most other carb-blocking products that must be taken 20-30 minutes before meals, Maximum Strength 3-in-1 Carb Blocker uses fast-release liquid softgels that can be taken with meals. It is formulated with white kidney bean, an all-natural, non-stimulant ingredient that neutralizes the effect of carbohydrates by inhibiting some of the amylase, the enzyme responsible for digesting starch. Lipase and Protease help break down fats and proteins and optimize the digestion of foods. When combined with a healthy, reduced calorie diet and exercise plan, Maximum Strength 3-in-1 Carb Blocker is a targeted approach to help you achieve your weight loss goals.
