A proprietary white bean alpha-amylase inhibitor (Phase 2) causes significant weight loss and reduces post-prandial blood glucose spikes by inhibiting starch digestion.
Take 500-1000mg of white bean extract (Phase 2) 15-30 minutes before meals containing carbohydrates. This blocks the enzyme that breaks down starch, leading to less calorie absorption and lower blood sugar spikes. It works best if you eat a moderate-to-high carb diet.
A specific and proprietary product named Phase 2® Carb Controller... has demonstrated the ability to cause weight loss with doses of 500 to 3000 mg per day... Clinical studies also show that Phase 2 has the ability to reduce the post-prandial spike in blood glucose levels.
Why this rating
The paper is a review of multiple studies, including RCTs, but notes some studies lacked between-group analysis or had small sample sizes.
