White Kidney Bean Extract α-amylase inhibitor activity ≥3,000U/g (≥15,000 AAIU/g) 10:1 by Xi'an Herbs Valley

White kidney beans, especially their extract, are often promoted for their potential to aid in weight management and improve overall health. They are known for inhibiting alpha-amylase, an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates, potentially slowing down the absorption of starch and reducing blood sugar spikes. This can contribute to weight loss and potentially improve metabolic health

Alpha-amylase inhibitors are substances that block the activity of the enzyme alpha-amylase, which is responsible for breaking down starch into simpler sugars. By inhibiting this enzyme, these inhibitors can slow down carbohydrate digestion and absorption, potentially helping to manage blood sugar levels and weight.
