Go for the carbohydrates - kidney bean extract It is well known that kidney beans are a valuable food with a high carbohydrate content. But the extract of the protein-rich beans also has it all: just like the plant, kidney bean extract contains phaseolin, one of the main reserve proteins in many types of beans. The enzyme alpha-amylase it contains inhibits the breakdown of carbohydrate molecules and thus acts as a natural carbohydrate blocker. In other words, it inhibits the breakdown of starch. Kidney bean extract also contains vitamin C, which contributes to the normal function of the nervous and immune systems and to collagen formation, which is important for the normal function of blood vessels, bones and skin, for example. Kidney bean extract also contains zinc, which contributes to normal acid-base and carbohydrate metabolism and has an important function in cell division.
