Block is a fantastic new product by Plexus Worldwide. •Here is the Proprietary Blend in Block. o White Kidney Bean Extract – also known as Phaseolus vulgaris, has been shown to inhibit the digestive enzyme amylase. Amylase plays a key role in the digestion of foods. As a digestive enzyme, amylase is required for the metabolism of starchy carbohydrates. Research suggests that Phaseolus vulgaris extract, when taken before meals, may produce decrements in body weight and decrements in fat mass in the face of maintained lean body mass o InSea2® Brown Seaweed Blend (Ascophyllum Nodosum, Fecus Vesiculosus) – is the only product on the market with a dual mechanism of action that targets enzymes involved in carbohydrate digestion and assimilation. Its dual action is a result of its ability to uniquely slow carbohydrate digestion through interaction with both alpha-amylase (starch-degrading enzyme) and alpha-glucosidase (sucrose-degrading enzyme). This twofold activity helps reduce the impact of high-glycemic foods o Brown Seaweed InSea2 is a clinically tested blend of 20% purified polyphenols—more precisely phlorotannins (PHTs)—sourced from Ascophyllum nodosum (kelp) and Fucus vesiculosus (bladderwrack), two species of brown seaweed. Like many sea plants, these brown seaweeds are a rich source of antioxidant phenolic compounds and iodine. The ability of naturally occurring polyphenols and PHTs, including those from brown seaweed, to affect the activities of alphaamylase and alpha-glucosidase enzymes in vitro has been repeatedly demonstrated.
