Is there a sport supplement with this name? That's too funny.

I know carbogen as a gas (a precise mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen) once used for psychotherapy on account of its tendency to induce enhanced sensation/perception when inhaled.

I guess this is the same stuff. http://www.naturalproductsinsider.com/articles/351braning1.html

It sounded like "carb-blocker" to me, but it turns out it helps release carbs from complex carbs with out spiking insulin.

Where does it say that it will not spike insulin? I'm trying to get ripped for the summer. And therefore I do not know if this is something worth adding to my low glycemic pre and post workout shake.

Laboratory tests have shown the efficiency of CarboGen in increasing carbohydrate release without spiking blood glucose levels. Only 200 mg of CarboGen, added to cooked pasta, helped break down pasta into components such as amylopectin (60 percent) and maltose (15.9 percent) with only 2.85-percent release of glucose.

It was the 4th paragraph in the article.

So what does this mean really? In laymans terms. That by using Carbogen in a low glycemic diet...it will benefit me? That carbogen will help in losing fat?

If your dieting with low GI carbs, you dont have to worry about insulin spikes. LAst summer the only High GI carbs I ate were either blueberry's/ strawberry's or raspberry's with my oatmeal. I ate this every morning and I lost 30- 35 lbs in 14 weeks. Just as long as the high GI carbs aren't being taken in throughout the day, you should be fine as far as losing fat weight.
But it looks to be that the carbogen could only help a little bit. imo

All they're saying is that it makes carbs from complex carbs more readily available with out spiking your insulin. It's almost like eating simple carbs with out the spike. You'll get the energy from the good carbs, quicker.
