Title kind of sums up my question. Has anyone ever used White Kidney Bean Extract (Phaseolus Vulgaris) as a 'carb blocker'?

Thanks!

Yes. It bloats me for a couple days if I depend on it too much, but I have gotten "questionable" results in the past by using small doses with my highest carb meal under isocaloric conditions..... or as isocaloric as I could get them. Mulberry extract was perhaps even better, if memory serves me correctly.

What do you mean by carb blocker? Are you referring to a GDA-type product? If so then yes they can be effective. I've never used white kidney bean but i've used, and continue to use, products like Slin Sane and Glycophase.

Oh for sure I have used GDA.. I was asking about this because that is what it is saying it does is 'carb block'.. But it's relatively cheap so I was wondering if people have used it prior to large carb meals and how it treated them

Blocking carbs is complete nonsense

I agree, I'm guessing they mean more of a GDA effect.. But that's why I'm asking haha. Clearly nothing is 'blocking' them

I use it together with Fenugreek from a big European supplier. Works like a charm. Went on an all inclusive holiday for a week and did not gain any weight at for instance.

I try to alternate with Banaba leaf, Berberine and have not seen a single difference. Good GDA in my opinion and dirt cheap.

I've heard good things and at the price, it's well worth it.
