THE SCIENCE OF Carbshield

The Science
Behind Smarter
Carb Management

A clinically backed approach to managing carbohydrate-heavy meals.

CarbShield combines four research-backed ingredients that work through different pathways to help reduce the impact of carbohydrate-rich meals. Every ingredient is supported by human research, and our own clinical study is currently underway.

Human trials behind the formula

One formula. Four complementary actions.

CarbShield isn't built around a single ingredient. It combines four ingredients that work together before and after carbohydrates are broken down.
Reducose® Mulberry Leaf
01

Reducose® Mulberry Leaf

Helps slow carbohydrate breakdown.
White Kidney Bean Extract
02

White Kidney Bean Extract

Helps block starch digestion.
Ceylon Cinnamon
03

Ceylon Cinnamon

Supports insulin sensitivity.
Chromium Picolinate
04

Chromium Picolinate

Supports normal insulin function.

The Science Behind Each Ingredient

Four clinically studied ingredients. Real research. Real results.
1. Reducose® MulberryLeaf Extract

1. Reducose® MulberryLeaf Extract

The ingredient that helps slow carbohydrate breakdown.

Mulberry leaves contain DNJ (1-Deoxynojirimycin), a natural compound that slows the enzyme responsible for breaking down carbohydrates.

200mg
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU CarbShield uses the same 200 mg Reducose® dose that has been tested in human studies.
WHAT RESEARCH FOUND
Thondre PS et al. (2021)
Reduced post-meal blood sugar and insulin after a sugar challenge.
Lown M et al. (2017)
Improved glucose tolerance in healthy adults.
Kim JY et al. (2015)
Helped improve post-meal glucose response in people with prediabetes.
Cui W et al. (2023)
A meta-analysis confirmed improvements in fasting blood sugar and HbA1c across multiple studies.
2. White Kidney Bean Extract

2. White Kidney Bean Extract

Helps reduce the digestion of starch-rich foods.

White Kidney Bean Extract naturally blocks alpha-amylase, the enzyme that breaks down starch.

275mg
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU White Kidney Bean Extract works best alongside carbohydrate-rich meals where starch makes up a large part of the plate.
WHAT RESEARCH FOUND
Barrett & Udani (2011)
A long-term review found consistent reductions in post-meal blood sugar.
Jäger R et al. (2024)
A 12-week study showed reductions in body weight and fat mass while remaining well tolerated.
Udani J et al. (2004)
One of the earliest clinical trials showed reduced carbohydrate absorption and weight loss.
Wang S et al. (2020)
Confirmed benefits for body weight and fat mass in obese adults.
3. Ceylon Cinnamon

3. Ceylon Cinnamon

Supports healthy insulin sensitivity.

CarbShield uses Ceylon Cinnamon, not Cassia Cinnamon. Ceylon Cinnamon contains much lower levels of coumarin, making it the preferred choice for regular use.

50mg
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU Not all cinnamon is the same. CarbShield uses Ceylon Cinnamon, which contains only trace amounts of coumarin.
WHAT RESEARCH FOUND
Zarezadeh M et al. (2023)
Multiple meta-analyses found improvements in fasting blood sugar and HbA1c.
Jafari A et al. (2025)
The latest review confirmed cinnamon continues to show benefits for blood sugar management.
4. Chromium Picolinate

4. Chromium Picolinate

Supports the body's normal insulin response.

Chromium is a mineral that helps insulin work more efficiently.

50mcg
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU Chromium supports the body's natural insulin signaling, making it a complementary part of the formula.
WHAT RESEARCH FOUND
Balk EM et al. (2007)
A large review found meaningful improvements in glycaemic control.
Abdollahi M et al. (2013)
Found an average reduction in HbA1c across pooled studies.
Broadhurst & Domenico (2006)
Fifteen clinical studies showed positive outcomes for glucose management.

Why These Ingredients Work Better Together

Instead of relying on one mechanism, CarbShield combines ingredients that work at different stages of carbohydrate handling.
While your food is being digested

While your food is being digested

Mulberry and White Kidney Bean help slow starch breakdown.

After sugar enters your blood

Ceylon Cinnamon and Chromium support normal insulin function.
Together, they help reduce the overall impact of carbohydrate-heavy meals.

CLINICAL STUDY

CarbShield is being tested in real people.

We're currently conducting a 40-participant CGM trial at Deogiri Diabetes Centre. Unlike ingredient-only research, this study is evaluating the complete CarbShield formula.

FAQ's

How does CarbShield work? +

It works through two pathways: white kidney bean extract slows starch breakdown, while mulberry leaf extract slows the release of glucose from carbohydrates. Cinnamon and chromium support insulin sensitivity.

When should I take CarbShield? +

The formulation is designed to be taken about 10–15 minutes before a carbohydrate-rich meal.

Can I eat rice or roti after taking CarbShield? +

CarbShield is designed for carbohydrate-rich meals such as rice, roti, bread and pasta by helping reduce the post-meal glucose impact.

Will CarbShield completely block carbohydrates? +

No. The ingredients partially reduce starch digestion — they do not completely block carbohydrate absorption.

Can CarbShield help with insulin resistance? +

The ingredient research shows support for healthier glucose handling and insulin sensitivity, which is relevant for people managing insulin resistance.

Is CarbShield safe for regular use? +

The ingredients used in CarbShield have regulatory approvals or safety reviews from bodies such as FDA GRAS, EFSA and FSSAI for their intended use.

Research-backed. Tested in real life.

CarbShield combines clinically studied ingredients with an ongoing CGM clinical trial — bringing together published science and real-world validation.
