BLOCK

Experts typically point to the overconsumption of simple carbohydrates, sugars and starches as a primary culprit in our declining state of health. The problem with these foods is that they are quickly converted to glucose in the body, which spikes blood-sugar levels and ultimately contributes a range of health problems, particularly over the long-term.

Plexus Block does just what its name suggests—it blocks starches and sugars from converting to glucose in the body, thereby promoting healthy blood sugar levels and contributing to an enhanced state of overall wellness.  Block slows the absorption of starch and sugar for healthy glucose levels and reduces starch and sugar from converting to glucose in the body by up to 48%.

Features and Benefits:

• Helps support healthy blood glucose levels.
• Helps reduce glycemic index of ingested foods.
• Helps block starch and table sugar digestion/absorption.
• Inhibits enzymes that convert starches to glucose.
• Slows conversion of glucose to fat.
• Promotes healthy weight control.
• Minimizes free radical damage/oxidative stress.
• Promotes sustained energy/reduces fatigue.
• Lowers glycemic index rating of ingested foods.
• What Other Plexus Products Can I Take With This?

Plexus Block can be taken with any of our current products!

Listed below is EVERY SINGLE ingredient that is in Plexus Block!  Check them out for yourself: 

• Proprietary Blend
• 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
• 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
• 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.
• Other Ingredients
• Microcrystalline Cellulose - is a term for refined wood pulp and is used as a texturizer, an anti-caking agent, a fat substitute, an emulsifier, an extender, and a bulking agent in food production. The most common form is used in vitamin supplements or tablets. 
• Gelatin – is used for the capsules. 
• Magnesium Stearate – is a solid, white powder at room temperature. It is a FDA-approved inactive ingredient commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry as a diluent for the manufacture of tablet, capsule, and powder dosage forms.  Magnesium stearate exists as a salt form and is used to help prevent pharmaceutical ingredients from adhering to industry equipment.  Magnesium stearate may be derived from both plant and animal sources.
• Silicon Dioxide - also known as silica, is a chemical compound that is an oxide of silicon with the chemical formula SiO2. It has been known since ancient times. Silica is most commonly found in nature as quartz, as well as in various living organisms. In pharmaceutical products, silica aids powder flow when tablets are formed.
