White Kidney Bean Extract
Product Description
White kidney bean extract is a natural botanical extract processed from the seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris (white kidney bean). Its key active component is phaseolamin, which inhibits the alpha-amylase enzyme responsible for breaking down carbohydrates. This mechanism reduces carbohydrate absorption, helping to lower post-meal blood sugar spikes and caloric intake.
