Function: the only scientifically verified benefit of white kidney bean seeds is the ability of white kidney bean seeds to act as a ?starch blocker?-a blocker of the alpha-amylase enzyme.
When you consume starchy carbohydrate, they must be broken down into smaller units known as dextrins. Dextrins are then further broken down into glucose. Glucose serves a number of purposes. It is either used for immediate energy requirements, is stored in muscle tissue or the liver as glycogen (in that order), or is shuttled to the liver, converted into lipids, and stored as body fat. White kidney bean extract may block the action of the digestive bean extract may block the action of the digestive enzyme alpha-amalyase, and this prevents the breakdown of starch into dextrin and will result in some ingested starches passing through your system undigested,
The result effect may be lower energy intake and ultimately lower rates of body fat storage.
