Excessive consumption of carbohydrates is once of the causes of obesity or weight gain. Whenever you eat carbs such a breads, pastas, cereals, pastas, cereals, cakes, coookies, chips, pizzas, burgers, etc, the digestive enzynme known as alpha amylase breaks down the starches into glucose. Your body uses glucose for energy, but any excess will be stored as fat. This is why consuming too much carbs can easily lead to weight gain.
How does kidney bean extract aid weight loss?
White kidney bean extract, also known as Phaseolus Vulgaris extract, may help to induce weight loss by inhibiting the digestive enzyme, alpha amylase, from breaking down carbs into glucose. By reducing or slowing down digestion of carbs, this decreases the number of carbohydrate calories absorbed and may result in weight loss.
Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer/Carb Controller – White Kidney Bean Extract
Several studies on white kidney bean extract and weight loss were conducted using Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer /Carb Controller proprietary extract of white kidney bean. It was found that doses of 445 to 3000 mg per day, in a single dose or divided doses, can result in weight loss. Participants who took Phase 2 white kidney bean extract reported significant reduction in body weight, BMI, fat mass, fat tissue thickness and waist/hip/ thigh circumferences while maintaining lean muscle.
Phase 2 has been demonstrated to reduce the rate of absorption of carbs and glycemix index (GI) of foods. It can potentially reduce spikes in blood glucose and promote weight loss when taken with carb meals.
