How MetaBloc Works.

Formulated to reduce the digestion of the starch in this food, starch being the kind of carbohydrate in bread, pasta, and potatoes.

Carbs come at you two ways: starch and sugar. Our inhibitors are formulated to work on the starch. Our sweetener system replaces the added sugar. Two problems, two answers.

The ingredients carry their own paperwork.

A Published Overfeeding Study Of Six Men.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study, run by researchers at the Applied Science and Performance Institute in Tampa, Florida. Six healthy men were asked to eat to their usual daily calorie needs, plus 160 g of peanut butter a day in five servings, for two weeks. Each man did this twice, four weeks apart: once with a regular peanut butter and once with the modified peanut butter being tested.

Design
Six men
Randomized, double-blind crossover. Two weeks on each peanut butter, with a four-week break between.
Measured
DXA body scan
Body composition, plus resting metabolic rate. The men tracked what they ate; calories were not fixed.

Six men is a small study, and the paper calls it a pilot trial. It was published in 2020. The full citation and DOI are listed below.
