White kidney bean extract is the first standardized starch blocker successfully developed in the United States in the late 1990s. In addition to natural non-irritating white kidney bean, it is the first starch blocker that has been proved by a large number of clinical trials to delay starch digestion and absorption.
How does white kidney bean extract block starch?
In the process of digestion, our body will convert carbohydrates in food into sucrose through an α-amylase, which will be consumed by the human body as an energy substance or stored as fat. Through a lot of research and observation, scientists have found that the components extracted from white kidney beans can inhibit α -amylase and thus "slow down" the digestion of starch. Combined with reasonable diet and exercise plan, weight control can be achieved. Not only that, the white kidney bean extract can also play a role selectively, avoiding the destruction of healthy carbohydrates, and has the function of assisting in regulating blood sugar within the normal range.
How is the white kidney bean extract from Ashland proved to be safe and effective?
From 65438 to 0940, scientists discovered α -amylase inhibitors from natural plants. By1990s, white kidney bean extract was successfully developed as the first standardized starch inhibitor. Now, it is widely used in many products all over the world. In recent ten years, it has been extensively studied, and 14 clinical experiments have been carried out, and finally it has become an effective starch blocker.
What is the legal status of white kidney bean extract?
In 2006, the white kidney bean extract passed the examination of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and was allowed to claim that it has two functions: "it can reduce the digestion of dietary starch by enzymes" and "it can help control weight through reasonable diet and exercise". In the same year, in the American Health and Education Standards for Dietary Supplement (GRAS), Ashland white kidney bean extract was considered to be safe. This is another milestone that safety and effectiveness are fully recognized. In the next few years, Ashland white kidney bean extract has become one of the key components of more than 300 kinds of consumer goods around the world.
In China, white kidney bean extract from Ashland has been approved as a common food raw material.
What are the applications of white kidney bean extract?
White kidney bean essence, selected white kidney bean raw materials, is made by excellent patented technology, which blocks starch without affecting or destroying the taste and texture of food itself. Therefore, it can also be easily used in baked goods, frozen food, casual candy, functional seasonings and other foods. The use of white kidney bean extract is not limited by the dosage form of the product, and can be added into tablets, capsules, solid drinks and functional foods.
Tablets/capsules: As the most common health food dosage forms, tablets and capsules have many advantages, such as accurate quantification and long-term habit cultivation. The starch blocking effect of white kidney bean extract is helpful to the development of formula.
Functional candy: With the diversification, health, high-end and functionalization of the global candy market in recent years. In foreign countries, by adding functional raw materials, consumers can satisfy their health demands while enjoying them. Take the American candy market in recent two years as an example. Because of its good taste and convenient eating, the market demand for soft sweets is growing rapidly. For example, vitamin fudge has become a new dietary supplement widely eaten by adults and children in the United States. White kidney bean extract is also used to enhance taste and help control carbohydrate intake.
Solid drinks: Compared with liquid drinks, solid drinks are popular because of their more nutritious and functional ingredients and small packaging. In the Southeast Asian market, white kidney bean extract has been added to a variety of coffee solid drinks. Although coffee itself is not rich in carbohydrates, the digestion and absorption of starch staple food in dinner can be well controlled by drinking coffee and taking starch blockers. Kangping (white kidney bean whey protein solid beverage) contains an ultra-active α -amylase inhibitor, which can inhibit the activity of α -amylase in human saliva and intestine, and can block 80% of starch from decomposing into glucose absorption 2 hours after meals. When taken with meals, it can effectively block sugar. ?
Mechanism of leveling control;
Pingping contains an ultra-active α -amylase inhibitor, which can inhibit the activity of α -amylase in human body and prevent it from decomposing starch, so that the starch contained in the food ingested by human body cannot be converted into glucose, thus blocking the absorption of heat generated by starchy foods, thus effectively controlling postprandial blood sugar, controlling body weight and regulating blood lipids.
