What is White Kidney Bean Extract?
White kidney bean extract was the topic of a recent episode of Dr. Oz discussing "Fat Busters." The popular TV doctor said he found the research on white bean extract "absolutely compelling," and he was "confident in recommending it," especially for people trying to control their carbohydrate intake. 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.
Many studies have shown that White Kidney Bean interrupts the digestive process that converts starch to sugar, thus lessening the caloric intake from foods such as bread and rice. By reducing the absorption of these sugars, the body has fewer calories to store as fat. White Kidney Bean can be a very effective supplement for dieters and those interested in maintaining a healthy physique.
