The Ultimate Guide to Kidney Bean Extract for Weight Loss

1. What is Kidney Bean extract? The White Kidney Bean extract is one of those supplements you’ll come across when looking for an effective weight loss supplement in the market. Also known as the Phaseolus vulgaris, this supplement is made using white kidney beans and is being marketed as a starch neutralizer or starch blocker.

When administered to people who are not dieting or those who don’t limit their carb consumption, the white kidney bean extract can help to reduce body fat, resulting in weight loss. Furthermore, the white kidney bean extract can help to alleviate the increase of fat gain as well as blood parameters such as blood glucose and triglycerides.

2. How Does the Kidney Bean Extract Work? The enzymes found in the pancreas and saliva will digest the carbs that you consume. The white kidney bean plant will produce several of the α-amylase blockers that will serve as defense mechanisms from mammals and insects that feed on them. The α-amylase blocker from the white kidney beans is known as α-AI1. This is an active component that works against human’s α-amylases. It blocks the carbohydrate and binds with the α-amylase enzyme in order to prevent access to starch. In doing so, the starch will not get spoiled and only a few simple sugars will be absorbed in the intestines. Below are the factors that could affect the way this blocker works: 

PH Level: Its activity will be highest during slightly acidic conditions.

Time: The optimal blocking activity is generally achieved after about 10 to 40 min.

There are several other active compounds in the white kidney beans and these include the phytohemagglutinin, which binds to the small intestine’s inner surface. This can trigger the release of hormones that can promote satiety.

3. Kidney Bean Extract Uses Aside from helping one to lose weight, the white kidney bean extract is believed to have several other benefits, such as minimizing the risk of colon cancer and lowering the level of blood sugar and fat. But it’s worth noting that the FDA has not yet approved the kidney bean extract as a treatment for any condition. Just like with the other supplements in the market, there is a lack of solid clinical research on the kidney bean extract benefits. There are regulations set for the manufacturing standards of the supplements. However, this is still not a guarantee that they are safe to use. It is always recommended to consult with medical professionals before you start using the white kidney bean extract in order to prevent unexpected interactions. 

Appetite Curbing

When taken along with a meal after fasting for 12 hours, the Beanblock has been shown to reduce appetite and minimize the production of ghrelin, the hormone that could trigger hunger. It has also been found to prevent the increase of glucose and insulin level. This was based on a small trial done on a group of 12 healthy individuals.

In another study involving 39 overweight individuals, they were asked to take a combination of artichoke and kidney bean extracts. This has resulted in the reduction of appetite and the level of blood sugar. Furthermore, Beanblock has been found to reduce food consumption based on the three studies conducted on mice and rats. Again, these pieces of evidence are pretty limited and they are mainly based on small studies done on animals. In addition, the manufacturer has funded them. 

Blood Sugar Reduction

A small clinical test was also done on 18 individuals who took the supplement in different doses while eating 1/3 and 2/3 of carbs respectively. The result was compared to the control group. Meanwhile, in the three studies conducted on rats, the white kidney bean containing α-amylase blocker has been found to significantly reduce the level of blood sugars among the individuals involved in the study. However, the evidence claiming that the white kidney bean extract can lower insulin and blood sugar is poor. Furthermore, these studies were very small. 

Weight Loss

The first commercially produced bean extracts come with a low α-amylase blocker activity, which has 6 to 8 times more of the carbohydrate blocker. It has broken down the α-amylases from the mouth as well as the small intestine and minimized the activity of the intestinal α-amylase of starch digestion on the two trials done where 11 people were involved.

www.scienceherb.com Daily consumption of the extract before eating a meal that’s rich in carbohydrates for a month has led to a reduction of fat mass, body weight, and body mass index. It has also led to the reduction of the thigh and hip sizes and has helped users to maintain lean body mass. This was based on the observation of 60 overweight individuals.

In a study that was done on 100 overweight individuals, another commercially produced extract was taken before meals along with a low-calorie diet. This was for a period of 12 weeks. 79 percent of all the people who participated and have continued taking the extract for 12 more weeks along with a non-restrictive diet were able to maintain their weight. On two studies involving a group of obese rats and another group of healthy rats, the α-amylase blocker has been found to reduce the amount of body fats but did not experience a reduction of lean body weight. As of the moment, the kidney bean extract weight loss benefits are supported by limited and low-quality evidence. So far, the clinical trials conducted were very small and the manufacturers themselves fund the tests conducted on these commercial extracts. Most of the studies show that the IQP-PV-101 may indeed help one to lose weight but not to the extent of what most of these companies are claiming. 

Fat Level Reduction

In a trial done on 27 obese individuals, Phase 2 has been found to have no effects on weight loss, however, it did lower the level of blood triglyceride after eight weeks.
