CarbSlim

CarbSlim is a dietary supplement designed for weight management and carbohydrate control, primarily marketed by HealthAid. Its active ingredient is white kidney bean extract (*Phaseolus vulgaris*), often utilizing the proprietary Phase 2 Carb Controller formulation. The supplement functions as a carbohydrate blocker by inhibiting the enzyme alpha-amylase in the digestive tract. Alpha-amylase is responsible for the breakdown of complex starches into simple, absorbable sugars; by blocking this process, CarbSlim reduces the caloric absorption from starchy foods and may assist in weight loss and glycemic control. It is typically administered orally in capsule form and is categorized as a nutraceutical rather than a pharmaceutical drug.
