Chemical Information
FooDB NamePhaseolamin
DescriptionIsolated from kidney bean seeds (Phaseolus vulgaris variety Great Northern) As reported in JAMA, early phaseolamin products did not have sufficient potency or stability to effect any in vivo changes. In addition, impurities contained therein caused complaints of GI distress including flatulence. In the late 1990s, the first standardized starch blocker, "Phase 2 Carb Controller" (also known as StarchLite), was developed. Phase 2 is a fractionated extract of the white bean that has been clinically shown in 13 studies to delay the digestion and absorption of starch calories. Phase 2 neutralizes some of the digestive enzyme alpha amylase, temporarily delaying the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, allowing a portion of them to pass through the system before they can be converted into glucose, and then fat. Phase 2 is considered generally recognized as safe by independent toxicologists and usually does not cause side effects. Phase 2 is available as an ingredient that can be formulated in a variety of nutritional supplements, foods and beverages. It is also sold as "StarchLite" in Europe.; Phaseolamin is a generic name for a proteinaceous inhibitor of the enzyme alpha-amylase that is made from white beans. A number of amylase inhibitors from white beans have been marketed over the years as weight control remedies.
