How Kidney Bean Extract Does and Does Not Help With Carb Blocking

Do white kidney beans block carbs?

A recent e-mail asked me this:

I just read your Vinz Cafe. I was wondering what your views/thought on white kidney bean extract to block carbs and starch?

White kidney beans as a supplement are something I’ve never looked at closely before, so I was curious to see what I would find out.

My initial response after looking around was. But after a closer look I became more accepting of the stated physiological function of kidney bean extract, but remain boorish on their ability to mediate the effects of insulin resistance and blood glucose levels

The Condensed Truth

In my opinion the abbreviated story about white kidney bean extract goes something like this:

• They’re probably effective at blocking alpha amylase, an enzyme that cleaves long carbohydrates into shorter ones.
• They work on starch, but not sugar or high fructose corn syrup.  So they might help slowing the carb load from a pasta dinner but not your bottle of coke or sweets.
• They’re safe and have no observable side effects
• They work better with people who have high carb diets than low-carb diets

Not all White Kidney Bean Extracts are Created the Same only one clinically studied for safety and efficacy, White Kidney Bean Phase 2 is the first white kidney bean extract clinically shown to reduce the digestion of starch and promote weight loss

Let’s take a closer look at how this supplement works, where its usefulness begins and ends, and other options you have to get similar effects in your body.

White Kidney Bean Extract Inhibits Phase 2

All of white kidney bean’s physiological activity boils down to its ability to block an enzyme called alpha-amylase from breaking down certain carbohydrates within your body.  Starches are long chains of sugars that your body breaks down into smaller ones so it can use its individual units of sugar for energy.  To accomlish this task it uses the enzymes amylase and alpha-glucosidase to accomplish this task.  Amylase is present in your saliva, but most of its work is done in the intestine after its been secreted by your pancreas after a meal.

The theory goes that since white kidney bean blocks amylase, carbs that would otherwise be digested rapidly are digested slowly or not-at-all.  It sort of creates the effect of eating fiber since it turns digestable carbs into non-digestable carbs.

After reading through various papers I’ve decided that this process happens as advertised.  White kidney bean extract really does stop alpha-amylase from the pancreas and seems to do so in a manner that’s pretty robust to various physiological conditions.

What’s less clear is how this one mechanism relates to the broader goals of blood sugar control, weight loss, and low-carb dieting more generally…..especially in the long run.

However, your thinking about the benefits of white kidney bean extract need to come with the following caveats:

• It does not work on sucrase, the enzyme that breaks down sugar.  Sugar is probably the larger problem when it comes to carbohydrate induced obesity
• It stops alpha-amylase secreted from the pancreas, but not beta-amylase, which is secreted by some forms of bacteria that live in your gut
• Other enzymes can do the same work as amylase, just not as effectively.  For example, maltase can also break down starch in your intestine, which is why kidney bean extract doesn’t work as well with people who already have a low carb lifestyle.
• The evidence becomes much more spotty when you look at how using kidney bean extract helps to combat broader health issues like weight loss and insulin resistance.

Overall

By the end of my research I’ve decided that I would tentatively recommend taking a kidney bean extract supplement for the following people:

• Someone looking to lower their carbohydrate intake but does not know where to start or is unclear how they’d fit a low-carb diet into their lifestyle
• For use on “cheat days”, when you know you’ll be eating a lot of starchy food
• Before traveling or social occasions, situations that throw a lot of simple carbs your way
• Given its harmless nature and low price, I don’t see too much downside to experimenting with its use as long as you understand what it is and isn’t capable of doing.

Colonix Ingredients and Functions

Vinz Colonix Ingredients
Oats fibers, spirulina, apple fiber and vegetable extract to help speed up the detoxification process. Consequantly, it also will contribute to reduction of harmful bacterial and encourage the production of good bacteria. In addition it produces good results on endocrine balanced development to achieves the bodys self-balancing role without any worries of side effect.

The Colonix Main Ingredients
1) Apple Fiber
2) Oat Fiber
3) Soluble Fiber
4) Alfalfa
5) Spirulina
6) Fruto Oligosacharides
7) Aloe Vera

Fiber can promote intestinal peristalsis and help maintain digestive function. Apple fiber and oat fiber helps Promotes Digestive Regularity and a Healthy Intestinal Tract.

Otas are the soluble fiber that responsible for cholesterol-lowering. You may be familiar with the terms "soluble fiber" Soluble fibers bind with fatty acids and slow digestion so blood sugars are released more slowly into the body. These fibers help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and help regulate blood sugar levels for people with diabetes. Eating fibers is the ideal solution to gaining the health benefits. 

Alfalfa meaning “father of all foods.” 

Alfalfa extracts are useful in the treatment of kidney, bladder, and prostate disorders. Leaf preparations have been touted for their anti-arthritic and antidiabetic activity, for treatment of dyspepsia, and as an anti-asthmatic. Alfalfa is a great detoxification properties. Alfalfa in its regular consumption bring benefit your body can really help to remove toxins from the body.

Spirulina is a microalgae that has been consumed for centuries due to its high nutritional value and supposed health benefits. Today, popular lifestyle personalities endorse Spirulina as a secret, potent "superfood," a "miracle from the sea."


Spirulina is rich in nutrients, some of which aren't found in the average daily vitamin. According to the FDA, Spirulina contains significant amounts of calcium, niacin, potassium, magnesium, B vitamins and iron. It also has essential amino acids (compounds that are the building blocks of proteins). In fact, protein makes up about 60 to 70 percent of Spirulina's dry weight.
Spirulina may then help manage and prevent heart disease through antioxidant properties,

Aloe gel is the clear, jelly-like substance found in the inner part of the aloe plant leaf. Most people use aloe topically, as a remedy for skin conditions. the use of aloe in Colonix is for prevent constipation.

Fructo-oligosaccharides are also used as prebiotics. Prebiotics act as food for “good” bacteria in the intestine. Don't confuse prebiotics with probiotics such as lactobacillus, bifidobacteria, and saccharomyces, which are live organisms that are good for health. 

How does it work?

Fructo-oligosaccharides pass undigested into the colon where they increase bowel mass and promote growth of certain bacteria that are thought to be beneficial.

The balance of good & bad bacteria is the foundation of good health

The balance of good & bad bacteria is the foundation of good health

Today I would like to share a science topic about 

Fructo-Oligosaccharides 

What are Fructooligosaccharides and how do they provide digestive, immunity and bone health benefits?

New presentation today focused on the health benefits of short-chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS), which are low-calorie, non-digestible carbohydrates that can improve food taste and texture while aiding immunity, bone health and the growth and balance of important bacteria in the digestive track.

Fructooligosaccharides are naturally found in chicory, onions, asparagus, wheat, tomatoes and other fruits, vegetables and grains. They also can be derived from cane sugar and seaweed for use as a low-calorie (1.5 -- 2 Kcal/g) food sweetener and supplement. As scFOS provides approximately 30-to-50 percent of the sweetness of regular sugar, it can be used to enhance flavor and lower the amount of sugar in a food product. 

In one trial, supplementing with fructo-oligosaccharides significantly lowered fasting blood-sugar levels and serum total-cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes.

In addition, scFOS are considered prebiotics. After they are consumed, fructooligosaccharides move to the large intestine to stimulate the production of microbiota in the colon and gastrointestinal track.

Microbiotas are "friendly, beneficial" bacteria, Microbiotas produce essential nutrients such as：

✔️short-chain fatty acids; 

✔️Control epithelial cell growth (the cells that line body cavities); 

✔️Prevent overgrowth of infectious organisms; 

✔️Boost intestinal immunity; and prevent inflammation, diarrhea and other intestinal conditions. 

This "essential ecosystem" provides an important "balance between health and disease" in the body.

Fructooligosaccharides also increase calcium absorption in the body, an important consideration for pre- and post-menopausal women, ages 45 and older, who are losing critical bone mass that increases their risk for osteoporosis and bone fractures.

The regular addition of scFOS to the diet is "ideal for maintaining mineral density and (bone) strength," Most people, including many formula-fed infants and children, do not get enough scFOS.

Colonix, a fiber drink contain with Fructo Oligo saccharides. Help build and grown of good bacteria like Bifido bacteria , Lactobacillus . Balancing the gut Flora to maintain the digestive system. 

Consumption daily with fiber Colonix will help to improve Intestinal peristalsis, promote digestion, prevent constipation. When digestive system functioning well, the intake of nutrition will absorb completely by gut. This is why because we need a better bowel detoxification. To make sure the waste off from body.

Colonix is a fruit juice drink suitable for Constipation, chronic disease, the aged, skin problem and weak in immune people.

Consume 1 sachet daily, serve by water not more then 40 degree ( hot water are not recommend )

Consume twice daily for better or optima result.

The balancing of Gut Microflora, is the key to Health.

The Inside Story

The Story inside your body

Your intestines are home to about 100 trillion microorganisms, called intestinal microflora. (That’s 10x more than the number of human cells in your entire body.) Some of these are helpful and necessary for healthy digestive and immune systems, and some can be harmful to your health and wellness.

Factors that influence the Microflora balance:

♦️Streets 

♦️Medication

♦️Lifestyle 

♦️Age

♦️Exercise 

When the intestinal Microflora balance

Forms a protective barrier on the intestinal wall that prohibits harmful bacteria from crossing into your blood stream

Helps the immune system respond to pathogens

If Microflora get out of balance.

When harmful bacteria take over, common symptoms include: Cramping, Constipation and/or diarrhea, Bloating, Flatulence, 

Feeling run-down or out of sorts.

Aids in absorption of nutrients

Suppresses the growth of harmful bacteria that can cause illness and disease

Probiotic- what are they exactly?

Probiotics are living microorganisms, which, when taken in adequate amounts, have a beneficial effect on the body.

How do probiotic work?

Since 70% of the body’s immune system is connected to the digestive tract, a properly functioning digestive system is essential to maintaining overall health.

Once Probiotics make their way out of the stomach, they do several important things to help promote digestive health:

1) They dwell in the intestine

2) They thrive off of the same nutrients as undesirable bacteria

3) They help to lower the gut’s pH

4) They’re released back into the world when the cells of the intestinal lining shed

What's different about Colonix fiber drink and Probiotic?

What Are Probiotics?

Products containing probiotics have flooded the market in recent years. As more people seek natural or non-drug ways to maintain their health, manufacturers have responded by offering probiotics in everything from yogurt to chocolate and granola bars to powders and capsules.

Although probiotics have been around for generations - think of the "live active cultures" in several brands of yogurt - the sheer number of products with probiotics now available may overwhelm even the most conscientious of shoppers. In some respects, the industry has grown faster than the research and scientists and doctors are calling for more studies to help determine which probiotics are beneficial and which might be a waste of money.

What Are Probiotics?
Probiotics are living microscopic organisms, or microorganisms, that scientific research has shown to benefit your health. Most often they are bacteria, but they may also be other organisms such as yeasts. In some cases they are similar, or the same, as the “good” bacteria already in your body, particularly those in your gut. These good bacteria are part of the trillions of microorganisms that inhabit our bodies. This community of microorganisms is called the microbiota. Some microbiota organisms can cause disease. However, others are necessary for good health and digestion. This is where probiotics come in.

The most common probiotic bacteria come from two groups, Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium, although it is important to remember that many other types of bacteria are also classified as probiotics. Each group of bacteria has different species and each species has different strains. This is important to remember because different strains have different benefits for different parts of your body. For example, 

Lactobacillus casei Shirota has been shown to support the immune system and to help food move through the gut, but 

Lactobacillus bulgaricus may help relieve symptoms of lactose intolerance, a condition in which people cannot digest the lactose found in most milk and dairy products. In general, not all probiotics are the same, and they don’t all work the same way.

Scientists are still sorting out exactly how probiotics work. They may:
✔️Boost your immune system by enhancing the production of antibodies to certain vaccines.
✔️Produce substances that prevent infection.
✔️Prevent harmful bacteria from attaching to the gut lining and growing there.
✔️Send signals to your cells to strengthen the mucus in your intestine and help it act as a barrier against infection.
✔️Inhibit or destroy toxins released by certain “bad” bacteria that can make you sick.
✔️Produce B vitamins necessary for metabolizing the food you eat, warding off anemia caused by deficiencies in B6 and B12, and maintaining healthy skin and a healthy nervous system.

Common Uses
Probiotics are most often used to promote digestive health. Because there are different kinds of probiotics, it is important to find the right one for the specific health benefit you seek. Researchers are still studying which probiotic should be used for which health or disease state. Nevertheless, probiotics have been shown to help regulate the movement of food through the intestine. They also may help treat digestive disease, something of much interest to gastroenterologists. Note that probiotics mostly supplement rather than replace digestive disease treatments.  Some of the most common uses for probiotics include the treatment of the following:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder of movement in the gut. People who have IBS may have diarrhea, constipation or alternating bouts of both. IBS is not caused by injury or illness. Often the only way doctors can diagnose it is to rule out other conditions through testing.

Probiotics, particularly Bifidobacterium infantis, Sacchromyces boulardii, Lactobacillus plantarum and combination probiotics may help regulate how often people with IBS have bowel movements. Probiotics may also help relieve bloating from gas. Research is continuing to determine which probiotics are best to help treat IBS.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Though some of the symptoms are the same, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is different from IBS because in IBD, the intestines become inflamed. Unlike IBS, IBD is a disorder of the immune system. Symptoms include abdominal cramps, pain, diarrhea, weight loss and blood in your stools. There are two main types of IBD: Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.  In Crohn’s disease, ulcers may develop anywhere in your intestine including both the large and small bowels. In ulcerative colitis, inflammation only involves the large intestine. Bouts of inflammation may come and go, but mostly, prescription medication is usually needed to keep inflammation in check.

Recent research indicates that your gut microbiota plays a role in developing IBD, especially ulcerative colitis. Some studies suggest that probiotics may help reduce inflammation and delay the next bout of disease. Ulcerative colitis seems to respond better to probiotics than Crohn’s disease. It appears that E. coli Nissle, and a mixture of several strains of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Streptococcus may be most beneficial. Research is continuing to determine which probiotics are best to treat IBD.

Infectious Diarrhea

Infectious diarrhea is caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites. There is evidence that probiotics such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus casei may be particularly helpful in treating diarrhea caused by rotavirus, which often affects babies and small children. Several strains of Lactobacillus and a strain of the yeast Saccharomyces boulardii may help treat and shorten the course of infectious diarrhea.

Antibiotic-Related Diarrhea

Sometimes taking an antibiotic can cause infectious diarrhea by reducing the number of good microorganisms in your gut. Then bacteria that normally do not give you any trouble can grow out of control. One such bacterium is Clostridium difficile, which is a major cause of diarrhea in hospitalized patients and people in long-term care facilities like nursing homes. The trouble with Clostridium difficile is that it tends to come back, but there is evidence that taking probiotics such as Saccharomyces boulardii may help prevent this. There is also evidence that taking probiotics when you first start taking an antibiotic may help prevent antibiotic-related diarrhea in the first place.  It is important to note that most antibiotic-associated diarrhea is NOT infectious but rather is a result of reducing the number of normal microbiota in your gut.

Traveler’s Diarrhea

It’s possible to get infectious diarrhea when you travel by ingesting pathogenic, disease-causing, bacteria that are often present in the food or water (“traveler’s diarrhea”). Most studies show that probiotics are not very effective in preventing or treating traveler’s diarrhea in adults. Scientists face a challenge in determining which probiotics might be useful because of the number of destinations to which people travel and the number of different bacteria travelers may encounter.

Other Uses

Other potential uses for probiotics include maintaining a healthy mouth, preventing and treating certain skin conditions like eczema, promoting health in the urinary tract and vagina, and preventing allergies. There is not as much research about these uses as there is about the benefits of probiotics for your digestive system, and studies have had mixed results.

How Long Should You Take a Probiotic?

The benefits of probiotics are temporary and will disappear within a few weeks if you stop taking them as they do not continue to grow in your intestine. So you will need to take them as long as you feel you need their benefits.
