The alpha amylase inhibitor is identified in the protein fractionof the bean. This protein binds with the active sites of alpha-amylase and prevents the starch metabolizing activity. Hence it isalso called as “Starch Blocker”.

The enzyme alpha amylase helps break down carbohydrate (starch).Excess carbohydrates in the diet are ultimately converted to fatsand stored in the body. This helps inhibit this enzyme - alphaamylase. With reduced amount of amylase available for break down,the complex carbohydrate has a better chance of traveling throughthe body without being assimilated.Thenit is eventually excreted from the body instead of being convertedinto storage fat.

White kidney bean amylase inhibitors are available as safe andeffective adjuncts to a sensible weight managementprogram.
