In our daily eating habits, it is very difficult to cut off carbohydrates, but there are other ways to reduce the absorption of carbohydrate calories, that is, white kidney bean extract.
White kidney bean extract is an inhibitory enzyme extracted from white kidney beans, also called α-amylase inhibitor protein. By inhibiting the activity of saliva and amylase in the intestinal tract, it reduces the body's digestion and absorption of starch in food, and at the same time reduces starch decomposition and conversion to sugar.
At present, scientists have extracted α-amylase inhibitor proteins from wheat, barley, sorghum, kidney beans, yam, etc. However, only the α-amylase inhibitor proteins in white kidney beans and wheat have an inhibitory effect on mammalian amylase. Compared with the low extraction rate and high cost of wheat, the research and development and production technology of white kidney bean alpha-amylase inhibitor protein is more mature, and it has good development value and commercial promotion value.
As early as the 1950s, German scientists discovered alpha-amylase inhibitory protein in white kidney beans and confirmed that the substance can effectively inhibit amylase activity, thereby effectively reducing the body's absorption of carbohydrates. In the 1990s, the United States began to conduct research on the application of white kidney bean extract. In 2003, such products appeared in the North American market. At present, there are a wide variety of weight management products with white kidney bean extract as the main ingredient.
After the human body consumes the white kidney bean extract, the ring structure formed by the combination of α-amylase inhibitor protein and α-amylase envelops the amylase, causing the amylase to be unable to decompose and absorb the starch, thereby expelling the unabsorbable starch from the body.
A more direct explanation: After the human body consumes food, the body produces various enzymes to digest the food. These enzymes are like a handful of "small scissors", corresponding to the protein, fat, starch and other substances in the food are cut into small molecules that are easy to absorb.
If we try to put a "protective cover" on these "small scissors", thereby obstructing the normal work of the "small scissors", part of the food ingested cannot be absorbed by the body and can only be excreted.
White kidney bean extract is the "protective cover" of starchy food digestive enzymes. It separates amylase and starch, so that starchy foods cannot be cut into small molecules that can be absorbed by the human body, but can only be excreted from the body, thereby reducing the calories of starchy foods. Intake.
