Our Review Summary of Absolute Nutrition, C Block, Carb / Starch Blocker
As we have reviewed this product it has been rather satisfactory to find that the manufacturer offers such a good guarantee and that the product is free from starch, gluten, lactose, sugar, wheat, yeast, egg, soy, and artificial color. The aspects which are not satisfactory are, that this product lacks a clinically proven ingredient for effectiveness, the product contains excipients which may hinder results, and the daily serving is too low as the clinically proven effective dose is a minimum of 1 000mcg of Chromium per day. We could not establish if the manufacturing facility has GMP Certification.
