NOW Foods Phase 2 500 mg., 120 Vegetarian Capsules White Kidney Bean Extract Features : Now Foods Phase 2 is a White Kidney Bean Extract. NowFoods Phase2 helps you achieve dietary management objectives without the use of stimulants or laxatives. Now FoodsPhase 2 is an all-natural bean extract that has been shown in non-clinical studies to help reduce the breakdown and absorption of complex carbohydrates, by limiting the action of alpha-amylase, a digestive enzyme. Alpha-amylase helps breakdown dietary starches into glucose so that they can be absorbed by the digestive tract. With less alpha-amylase activity, there may be less excess glucose available to convert into fat and store and adipose tissue. Because this capsule is enteric coated, Now FoodsGr8-Dophilus delivers its microflora directly to the intestine bypassing the harsh acidic conditions of the stomach.
