    Questions and Answers about NOW Foods, Phase 2, Starch Neutralizer

    Have a Question?

    Ask a Question
    • What is Phase 2 starch neutralizer?

      Phase 2 starch neutralizer is a specific extract derived from white kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). It's designed to help reduce the digestion and absorption of complex carbohydrates in the body. The active component in Phase 2 is believed to inhibit alpha-amylase, an enzyme responsible for breaking down starches into simpler sugars. By doing so, it may help reduce the caloric impact of starchy foods, potentially supporting weight management efforts.

    • What is white kidney beans Phase 2?

      White kidney beans Phase 2 refers to a standardized extract from white kidney beans that has been specifically processed to concentrate its starch-blocking properties. This extract is rich in compounds that can inhibit the enzyme alpha-amylase, which is responsible for breaking down complex carbohydrates. By interfering with this process, Phase 2 may reduce the number of calories absorbed from starchy foods.

    • What are the side effects of white kidney bean carb blockers?

      White kidney bean carb blockers, including Phase 2, can potentially cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating, gas, or diarrhea, especially when first starting use or when taken in high doses. Some people might experience nausea or stomach pain. In rare cases, allergic reactions can occur, particularly in individuals with legume allergies.

    • What are the side effects of white kidney beans?

      White kidney beans, when consumed as a food, are generally safe and nutritious. However, when used in concentrated form as a supplement, they may cause side effects in some individuals. These can include digestive issues such as gas, bloating, or stomach discomfort. Some people might experience nausea or changes in bowel movements.

    • Does eating white kidney beans block carbs?

      Eating whole white kidney beans doesn't significantly block carb absorption in the same way that concentrated extracts like Phase 2 might. While white kidney beans naturally contain compounds that can inhibit starch-digesting enzymes, the concentration in whole beans is much lower than in specialized extracts. Consuming whole white kidney beans provides fiber, protein, and other nutrients that can support overall health and may contribute to feelings of fullness, potentially indirectly supporting weight management.

    • Is it OK to eat white beans every day?

      Eating white beans daily can be a healthy addition to most diets when consumed as part of a balanced meal plan. White beans are rich in fiber, protein, and various essential nutrients, including folate, magnesium, and iron. Regular consumption may support digestive health, help manage blood sugar levels, and contribute to feelings of fullness, which can aid in weight management.
