White Kidney Bean Extract Poweder

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.

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.
