This is a difficult question to answer.
Most Carb Blockers are composed of an extract of Phaseolus Vulgaris (botanical name for the kidney bean). The pills are often supplemented with other ingredients such as chromium, vanadium, and fenugreek.
The premise of carb blockers is that they will prevent the enzyme alpha-amylase from binding with starches. This enzyme is produced in saliva and will break down the carbohydrates into molecules that the body will absorb. By preventing this process from happening, the carbohydrate will pass through the body.
Some of the study into carb blockers pills came out of Diabetes research, to help the diabetic control their insulin response. Most manufacturers cite clinical trials, but these are conducted internally and are not peer reviewed.
In some ways we really only have anecdotal evidence to go by. This is generally the case with most diet supplements.
