White kidney bean extract is a natural amylase inhibitor extracted from white kidney bean, and its main active ingredient is α-amylase inhibitor protein, which exists in the endosperm of white kidney bean seeds.
Alpha-amylase (α-amylase) is an enzyme that has a major role in carbohydrate metabolism , catalysing the hydrolysis of the α-(1,4) glycosidic linkages in starch and other oligosaccharides . This may represent a potential mechanistic target for interventions seeking to inhibit carbohydrate uptake in the body. Indeed, bioactive ingredients that inhibit catabolic enzymes (i.e., amylase and glucosidase) are becoming increasingly popular , with potential applications for both weight loss and metabolic health.
White Kidney Bean Powder Benefits
1. Weight Loss;
2. Curbing Appetite;
3. Blood Sugar and Insulin Reduction;
Alpha-amylase blockers reduce postprandial rise in blood glucose and insulin levels
4. Reducing Blood Levels of Fats;
Studies have shown that a supplement combining white kidney bean and carob extracts increases the elimination of fat (triglycerides) in the stool and reduces blood levels of cholesterol (free and bound to LDL)
5. By blocking α-amylases, white kidney bean extract may help prevent cavities and bleeding gums;
6. Reducing the Risk of Blood Clots
Bean extract reduced the clumping of platelet cells. White kidney bean extract may thus reduce the formation of blood clots.
How Does White Kidney Bean Powder Work?
Our human body contains α-amylase, its function is to hydrolyze only α-1,4-glucosidic bonds in the starch molecular chain, and cut the starch chain into short-chain dextrins, oligosaccharides and a small amount of maltose and glucose to promote human body Digestion and absorption of food.
Body fat is formed when a person consumes more carbohydrates than they can use as fuel or store for energy later, and they are stored as fat.
The main active ingredient of white kidney bean extract is α-amylase inhibitor protein, which is a natural α-amylase inhibitor. It reduces the hydrolysis of starch by inhibiting the secretion of human α-amylase, thereby reducing the absorption of carbohydrates and the accumulation of fat in the human body, thereby achieving the effect of losing weight and reducing abdominal fat. Moreover, the reduction of α-amylase will reduce the hydrolysis of starch, thereby reducing the body's absorption of sugar, so α-amylase inhibitory protein also has the effect of controlling blood sugar.
White Kidney Bean Dosage?
There is no set dose of white kidney bean extract. However, clinical studies have used doses ranging from 445 mg to 3,000 mg per day.
Generally taken in capsule form, it is recommended to take two capsules (1,000 mg) twice daily with meals
