White Kidney Bean Extract

What is White Kidney Bean Extract?

White Kidney Bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, the main nutritional characteristics of white kidney beans are similar to those of mung beans and peas - high protein content (generally more than 20%), very low fat content, and rich in starch, dietary fiber and minerals.

Function of White Kidney Bean Extract

1. Lower blood sugar: Reducing the breakdown of starch into monosaccharides, thus reducing postprandial blood sugar levels has obvious benefits for diabetics.

2. Regulation of blood lipid: Acetyl coenzyme A is the main raw material for cholesterol synthesis in vivo. The decrease of glucose absorbed from food also leads to the decrease of acetyl coenzyme A, which is the metabolite of glucose, and affects the endogenous synthesis pathway of fat, thus controlling hyperlipidemia.

3. Weight control: A-amylase inhibitors exert a weight loss effect by inhibiting amylase, and are excreted from the body through the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, they do not need to enter the blood circulation system, do not act on the central brain, do not inhibit appetite while losing weight, and have no side effects even when the dosage is very high, which conforms to the weight loss principles of the World Health Organization

4. Protect intestinal health: the application of a-amylase inhibitors increases the residual sugar in the intestine, which is conducive to the coexistence of intestinal beneficial bacteria, and ferments the residual sugar to produce lactic acid, making the intestinal environment more acidic, thus promoting the dissolution and absorption of calcium in food, and producing the effect of preventing and treating osteoporosis.

Safety of White Kidney Bean Extract

1. Acute oral toxicity test: LD50> 30,000 mg/kg BW dose (equivalent to 70kg people, eating 2.1kg per day) showed no signs of poisoning or abnormality. It was classified as non-toxic.

2. Subchronic toxicity test: the recommended human dose was 100,50 and 25 times. No abnormal changes were observed and no toxic side effects were observed.
