ZENSO Kuro Shuga Carb Blocker

No. It's designed for people who'd rather keep their rice, noodles, bread and kuih. Eat balanced meals and chew one tablet half an hour before lunch and before dinner.

At three checkpoints: L-arabinose (20%) slows sucrase, which breaks down table sugar; CQR-300® (15%) and the phaseolamin in white kidney bean slow alpha-amylase, which cuts starch into sugar; and gymnema dulls the sweet taste so cravings ease. The ingredients work together, and you keep your rice.

The 8 are ingredients: L-arabinose, CQR-300®, white kidney bean, gymnema, Okinawa lesser yam, green tea, chromium and Kurozu. By Wellous's Kuro 154 Matrix™ count, those ingredients carry 23 bioactive compounds between them: gymnemic acids alone come in four types (I to IV), green tea brings EGCG and L-theanine, and Okinawa yam brings diosgenin. So 23 counts the bioactives, not the ingredients.

Honestly, Kuro Shuga is a helper before meals; when you stop, that checkpoint goes too. So use these two months to ease down portions and sweet drinks as well. Many people carry on with a ZENSO set that covers the other four pillars. Results vary from person to person.

Everyone responds differently. Week 1: fewer sweet cravings and less heaviness after rice. Weeks 2–4 (1 jar): the scale begins to shift and your waistband feels looser. Month 2 (2 jars): a trimmer waist, rice still on the plate. Pair it with balanced meals and exercise.

We don't give a number of kilos, because everyone starts from a different place. What we can share is the ingredient study: CQR-300® at 300mg daily (what 2 tablets provide) for 8 weeks, waist -9% and body weight -8% (placebo -2% and -0.6%). That is a study of the ingredient, not of Kuro Shuga.

Fat burners try to burn the fat after the sugar has been stored. Kuro Shuga works the other way round: it sets a checkpoint for carbs and sugar before the meal, at digestion, so it starts at the source.

Two a day: chew one tablet half an hour before lunch and another half an hour before dinner. It's a cherry-blossom and bamboo-salt chewable, so no water and no mixing. The ZENSO sets say 15–30 minutes before eating; that's the same window.

No. The routine is two a day, ahead of lunch and ahead of dinner, so a jar lasts exactly 30 days. Stick to the stated dose; don't add more.

No problem. Chew one before your next meal as usual and don't double up. The daily rhythm is what matters.

Yes, ZENSO is built that way. Chew Shuga and Oiru together ahead of lunch and dinner, Shuga for carbs and sugar and Oiru for fat. The rest of the routine: Kuro Mizu first thing in the morning, Kuro Daitto with breakfast.

The label shows 0g sugars per tablet. Each 1g tablet has 3 kcal and 0.9g carbohydrate, from isomalt and other bulking agents, and is sweetened with isomalt and sucralose.

No, it isn't. Kuro Shuga is a health functional food, and NPRA classifies it as a food. It sets a pre-meal checkpoint for dietary carbs and sugar; it does not treat diabetes and does not replace any medication. If you have diabetes or take blood-sugar-lowering medicine, ask your doctor before you start.

Stick to the stated dose. According to the label, taking too much may have a laxative effect.

Anyone pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication or with known allergies. It may contain, or have been in contact with, common allergens, so check the ingredient list first. For children, ask a doctor first.

Often not. Wellous has issued a notice asking customers not to buy on Shopee, Lazada, Carousell or other third-party platforms. Many listings there are fake, plenty of people only find out after buying, and some sellers pretend to be us. Buy from an authorised distributor for the QR authenticity check, advisor follow-up and the 30-day money-back guarantee.

Yes. JAKIM certifies it halal, and Halvec Laboratories, on JAKIM's laboratory panel, found no porcine DNA. It has no MAL number because NPRA classifies it as a food (a chewable tablet); MAL numbers cover medicines and some supplements. SGS tested it against 365 drugs and found none.

Be careful. A price far under S$130 can mean old stock, repacked jars or fakes. From an authorised distributor you get factory-sealed jars, advisor support and the 30-day money-back guarantee.

No. ZENSO Lite, Advance, Pro and GLPro each include 1 jar of Kuro Shuga, and so do the Keep Burn Set and the 7-Day Trial Pack. Buy it on its own once your set is finished and you want to keep the pre-meal checkpoint.

60 tablets, 30 days at two a day. One jar (S$130) to try it; two jars (S$260) for 60 days without a gap, the same 8 weeks as the CQR-300® study. Delivery is free on both.
