Ingredients explained
Phase 2 Carb Controller (white kidney bean extract, dried bean fraction)
Provides alpha-amylase inhibitory activity in the gut, which may limit the breakdown of complex carbohydrates into absorbable sugars.
Caution: May cause mild digestive discomfort like gas or bloating because it alters carbohydrate digestion.
LipoSan ULTRA Chitosan (from shellfish)
Binds to some dietary fats in the digestive tract, which may reduce their absorption.
Caution: Avoid if you have a shellfish allergy and separate from fat-soluble vitamins and medications to avoid reduced absorption.
How they work together
White kidney bean extract focuses on carbohydrate-digesting enzymes, while chitosan targets dietary fat in the gut; together they address two major macronutrient absorption pathways.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People with shellfish allergies should avoid this product. Those taking medications that require consistent absorption of fat-soluble vitamins may need caution due to chitosan possibly affecting absorption. If you take anticoagulants, fat-soluble vitamins, or other medications, discuss timing and use with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
