Universal Nutrition CarbRite Carb Block

So with all the recent talk of GDAs lately... I came across this product seems to be a cross between slin-sane and glycobol.
Price is right and I am tempted to try it.
What do you guys make of it?

Alpha Lipoic Acid
Vanadium
Gymnemalin
Phaseolin ex
Magnesium
Chromium Polynicotinate
Chromium Picolinate
 
Info bump
 
its not bad, but its not great either.

slin sane is cheap enough to stack with another GDA and drag out the bottles longer then a month.

chromium is eh, but is depleted by vandium use which warrents the amount more then likely. however theres chromium in foods we eat so im not to worried.

phasoelean if i remember is a white kidney bean extract which is a alpha amylase inhibitor. but so is berberine, HCA, salacia reticulata, certain flavonoids.

Not worth it IMO, nothing really inthere to inhibit fat gain. Just block carbs. Plentyful other ways to do that however.

To block the carbs is the idea...
So they don't get stored as fat correct?
This stuff is roughly the same price as slin-sane.
I've tried slin and glycobol... Think I might give it a go and see what happens...
Thx for the advice SS.

right but theres no PPARy partial agonist, or antagonist properties, theres no ACL inhibition, No PPARa upregulation. Without the PPARa upregulation theres also no increase in CPT1. Important for the mobilizing of fat.

Recompadrol is still by far the best GDA ive ever used.

I'm going to look into that next price is killer.

i have given my opinion on them

They are good

rather then me giving opinions on them, id rather tell you of which ingredients i think are good and which i do not really like. I think the MOA of ingredients need to be addressed before anything else.

Thx for your help.
I can def respect that :)

i dont like saying a product is bad. They each work and do their own thing. certain things in them make them really suitable for certain people.. ie Inclusion of NA-R-ALA, is it good , absolutely. Does it interfere with synthetic synthroid converting to t3, yes. In that respect people who are using it to improve glucose control, as well as lower weight, may be using synthroid for their thyroid.

Things like BMOV- are good, but they are absorbed into vanadium sensitive tissues more readily (bone kidney) and not excreted very fast. so i would cycle them.

Sure does, i just ordered some.

Yeah Nutra is OSS.

I'm going to have to snag me a bottle.
 
aha... google is my freind....

It as a pretty sick ing. profile with seemingly high extracts.... I think Im gonna have to give it a try....

But i have a crap ton of Yellow Gold (berberine) and SlinSane right now as it is... dunno that Id even have the chance to run it anytime soon....

But the threads on supplementreviews.com's board was pretty great sounding too... seems a lot of people like it more then the others available.

Yea it truly is a well rounded GDA that offers fat burning as well. Great product.
 
Yeah I'm about to order some now :)
My glycobol is going up for sale.
