What is White Kidney Bean Extract?
The seeds of the White Kidney Bean plant (Phaseolus vulgaris) are most commonly used in the extract. This plant is native to Europe, the Indies and Peru. This extract acts as a starch blocker to block alpha-amylase enzyme.
Benefits of White Kidney Bean Extract:
The benefits of white kidney bean extract are numerous, with the most notable being its ability to block starches. Many people become overweight due to the fact that starchy carbohydrate foods are often stored in the body as fat, to be used for energy at a later time.
White kidney bean extract may also be beneficial for lowering triglycerides, degenerative arthritis, coronary artery disease and obesity because of the ability it has to inhibit the body's digestion of complex carbohydrates.
White Kidney Bean Extract Weight Loss:
White kidney bean extract has the ability to block starches, so in effect it blocks the alpha-amylase enzyme, which plays an important role in digestion. Alpha-amylase is required for the metabolism of starchy carbohydrates, which are found in foods like potatoes, rice and pasta.
Complex carbohydrates must be broken down into smaller sections. These are known as dextrins. Dextrins are broken down even further, into glucose. Glucose is either used for current energy, stored in muscle tissue or the liver, or stored as body fat. White kidney bean extract will help some of the starches that would normally be stored as body fat to pass through the body undigested.
White Kidney Bean Supplement:
The addition of a white kidney bean supplement to your diet is recommended if you are trying to lose weight, or consume a lot of starchy carbohydrates in your diet.
If you have conditions such as coronary artery disease or obesity, you would likely benefit from the addition of a white kidney bean supplement, because of the effect weight loss has on these conditions.
