White kidney beans are a common edible bean in various countries around the world and are grown in all provinces and districts in my country. White kidney beans are not only rich in nutritional value, but also have high medicinal and health care value. They are a traditional medicinal and edible food in my country. Modern scientific research shows that white kidnoy kean Extract contains a highly active α-amylase inhibitor. Its chemical composition is a complex glycoprotein, which is called "starch blocker" abroad. ”, meaning “starch absorption blocker”. It can inhibit the action of α-amylase, block starch decomposition, and reduce glucose absorption, thus reducing postprandial blood sugar rise, reducing insulin secretion, and reducing fat synthesis. It can effectively cooperate with the dietary treatment of diabetes and weight loss patients. Make them full and eliminate hunger, without high blood sugar and weight gain after meals.
White kidney beans essence is a natural starch blocking food composed of D2 type white kidney bean extract and water-soluble dietary fiber. It is rich in alpha-amylase inhibitors—— Phaseolin can inhibit the action of salivary α-amylase and pancreatic α-amylase in the digestive tract of the body, block the decomposition of starch, reduce glucose absorption, thereby reducing the rise in blood sugar levels after meals and reducing insulin secretion. Effectively cooperate with the dietary treatment of diabetic patients, so that diabetic patients can eat enough without high blood sugar, get rid of the worries of not being able to eat, not being full, and avoid the pain of hunger. At present, it has been developed into a new functional starch blocking food by Shanghai Haonan'er Biotechnology Co., Ltd. - "Tangbu Gao White Kidney Bean Extract".
1. What is Tang Bu Gao White Kidney Bean Extract?
Tang Bugao White Kidney Bean Extract is a new type of drinkable food or sprinkled food. Composed of D2 type white kidney bean extract and water-soluble dietary fiber, it is a natural starch blocking food rich in alpha-amylase inhibitors and dietary fiber.
2. What are the physiological functions of α-amylase?
The human body's digestion of starch mainly relies on α-amylase, which is a specific and efficient biocatalyst for hydrolyzing starch. It can hydrolyze the α-1.4 glycoside of starch into α-dextrin and maltose. , and then further hydrolyzed into glucose for absorption by the small intestine and into the blood.
3. What are the physiological effects of α-amylase inhibitors?
Compounds that can bind to α-amylase and reduce or lose the catalytic activity of α-amylase are called "α-amylase inhibitors". They are a complex glycoprotein that can block Digestion and absorption of starch.
4. What is the mechanism of action of α-amylase inhibitors?
Modern scientific research has confirmed that the mechanism of α-amylase inhibitors inhibiting α-amylase is that α-amylase inhibitors and α-amylase interact to form a special enzyme inhibitor. Complex (EI) changes the conformation of amylase, causing α-amylase to lose its starch hydrolyzing activity. Starch cannot be cut off, and most of the starch is excreted from the digestive tract in its original form. Because the digestion of starch in food is blocked or delayed, the decomposition and absorption of starch substances in food is reduced, thereby inhibiting the significant increase in blood sugar concentration after meals, reducing the conversion of sugar into fat, delaying intestinal emptying, and promoting storage in the body. Lipolysis and lowering of blood lipids.
5. What are the effects of α-amylase inhibitors on diabetics and dieters?
Because α-amylase inhibitors can block the digestion and absorption of starch, inhibit the significant increase in blood sugar concentration after meals, reduce the conversion of sugar into fat, and lower blood lipids, they can make diabetics and dieters eat less food. Full, low blood sugar, no weight gain. It protects you from the pain of hunger and can effectively cooperate with the dietary treatment of diabetics and dieters.
6. What are the advantages of the α-amylase inhibitor in white kidney bean extract compared with α-amylase inhibitors extracted from other plants?
The α-amylase inhibitors in white kidney beans have higher activity than α-amylase inhibitors extracted from other plants because they contain a special type of heat-stable α-amylase. Amylase inhibitors.
Three types of α-amylase inhibitors were found in white kidney beans, namely αAI-1, αAI-2 and αAI-L. Among them, αAI-1 can inhibit human pancreatic α-amylase, human salivary gland α-amylase, etc. , more targeted in blocking starch digestion and absorption.
7. Is white kidney bean extract a food?
White kidney bean extract is composed of D2 type white kidney bean extract and water-soluble dietary fiber. White kidney bean extract is a processed food of white kidney bean. According to the "Administrative Licensing Technical Review" of the Ministry of Health on March 16, 2011 Opinion Notice" (Wei Shi Xin Gao Zi No. 2011.0011) informs: White kidney bean extract extracted with water can be used as ordinary food. Therefore, white kidney bean extract is a natural, safe and common food.
8. White kidney bean extract is also a weight loss food. Why does it comply with the World Health Organization's weight loss principles?
White kidney bean extract simply inhibits the digestion and absorption of starch in carbohydrates. It has no inhibitory effect on the digestion and absorption of fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and other nutrients. Moreover, the α-amylase inhibitor in white kidney bean extract is excreted from the body through the gastrointestinal tract, does not need to pass through the blood circulation, and does not act on the brain nerve center. There is no diarrhea, fatigue, anorexia, or weight regain after consumption, and it is completely in line with world health Organizational weight loss principles.
9. Will eating white kidney bean extract cause hypoglycemia?
No. Because the α-amylase inhibitor in white kidney bean extract will only block digestion and absorption after eating starchy foods. For diabetics, white kidney bean extract itself has no direct effect on lowering blood sugar. It only plays the role of reducing the increase in blood sugar after meals after eating starchy foods. Therefore, white kidney bean extract alone will not cause hypoglycemia. However, for diabetic patients who are taking anti-diabetic drugs at the same time, such as insulin and sulfonylurea drugs, caution should be taken to prevent hypoglycemia due to the effects of insulin and anti-diabetic drugs. If necessary, you can consider reducing the dosage of the drug under the guidance of a doctor.
10. Can white kidney bean extract be used together with α-glucosidase inhibitor drugs such as Acarbose and Beixin?
White kidney bean extract is a natural and safe starch-blocking food. It has no toxic side effects when consumed. Its mechanism of action is similar to that of Baitangping and Beixin α-glucosidase inhibitors. It is best not to use it. used together.
11. Can white kidney bean extract be used together with hypoglycemic drugs other than insulin and α-glucosidase inhibitors?
Yes. After eating a full meal and controlling the rise in blood sugar after a meal, some diabetics can reduce the dosage of anti-diabetic drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
12. What are the effects of white kidney bean extract for people with type 2 diabetes? Reduce the rise in blood sugar after meals; Reduce the occurrence and development of chronic complications of diabetes caused by blood sugar fluctuations; Do not increase endogenous insulin secretion; Reduce serum triglyceride levels; Effectively block the intake of starch calories; Reduce starchy foods Glycemic index (GI) value and (GL) value; effectively reduce waist circumference and help weight management of obese type 2 diabetics.
13. Why should white kidney bean extract be consumed before meals or at the same time as starchy foods?
The main physiological function of white kidney bean extract is to block the digestion and absorption of starch in the diet. If consumed after a meal, its effect will be greatly reduced.
14. Why is it best to drink more water when consuming white kidney bean extract?
Drinking more water can increase the binding effect of the α-amylase inhibitor in the white kidney bean extract and the α-amylase in the digestive tract, making the effect of consuming white kidney bean extract better.
15. How to consume white kidney bean extract?
Take it with warm water 10 minutes before meals, stir it and eat it all at once. Because the main component of D2 type white kidney bean extract in white kidney bean extract is protein, it may not all be dissolved. It is best to stir and eat all the dissolved and insoluble parts together. You can also sprinkle it directly on rice, noodles, steamed buns, and bread and eat it together. It can be eaten before breakfast, lunch and dinner, or before eating starchy snacks.
16. If there are no starchy foods in the diet, will eating white kidney bean extract be effective?
It also works. Because in addition to alpha-amylase inhibitors, white kidney bean extract also contains water-soluble dietary fiber, which can also delay the digestion and absorption of food and can also reduce the rise in blood sugar after meals.
17. Who is suitable for white kidney bean extract? People with diabetes and pre-diabetes (people with impaired glucose tolerance). This is especially true for diabetic patients who feel unbearably hungry due to diet control, who dare not eat or who cannot eat enough. Dieter. Especially those who feel hungry due to dieting or food restriction, those who dare not eat or those who cannot eat enough to lose weight.
18. Is white kidney bean extract unsuitable for anyone?
Infants, pregnant women, and postpartum women.
19. Can women take white kidney bean extract during menstruation?
Yes. White kidney bean extract has no effect on women's menstrual cycle.
20. Can eating ordinary white kidney beans replace white kidney bean extract?
No. Ordinary white kidney beans contain phytohemagglutinin (PHA), which can cause poisoning if eaten if not cooked thoroughly. After being cooked thoroughly at high temperatures, white kidney beans can only be eaten as vegetables. The α-amylase inhibitor contained in them has been completely destroyed by being cooked at high temperatures and no longer blocks the digestion and absorption of starch. In addition, only 1 gram of preliminarily purified white kidney bean extract can be extracted with water from approximately 98 grams of white kidney beans. It is also necessary to apply patented technology to remove phytolectins and polysaccharides and other substances in white kidney beans, and to make the activity of α-amylase inhibitors in white kidney bean extract "high fidelity". Therefore, consuming white kidney bean extract cannot be replaced by consuming ordinary white kidney beans.
21. What are the advantages of Tangbu Gao White Kidney Bean Extract compared with similar products?
At present, there are no special foods for diabetics and dieters on the market in China that use white kidney bean extract, water-soluble dietary fiber, etc. as ingredients. There are corresponding raw materials supplied domestically from abroad, but the D2 type white kidney bean extract in Tangbu Gao White Kidney Bean Extract is much more cost-effective than similar foreign products. Alpha-amylase inhibitors have higher activity, better safety, and more reasonable prices. In addition, Tangbu Gao White Kidney Bean Extract is specially added with water-soluble dietary fiber, which can make the effect of inhibiting the rise of blood sugar after meals stronger and better.
22. Consuming white kidney bean extract can help diabetics and dieters to have full meals, low sugar content, and low body weight. Is there a limit to this "full meal"?
It’s just about having enough food, not about being “full” of food. Because the preliminarily purified white kidney bean extract in white kidney bean essence can generally inhibit 65%-70% of starch digestion and absorption. For diabetics and those who lose weight, adding "extra" starchy food is more than enough and makes the stomach feel full. Eating "full" food is bad for health, not to mention diabetics and people who lose weight. Everyone should remember the health tips of "eating until you are seven times full".
23. Consuming white kidney bean extract can help diabetics and dieters to have enough food to keep them from getting taller and fatter. Does this "full food" include meat, fish, eggs and other meat dishes? full?
No. "Eat enough" only refers to starchy staple foods, excluding meat, fish, eggs and other meaty dishes. Of course, you can eat more vegetables.
24. Can diabetic patients take white kidney bean extract as a substitute for hypoglycemic drugs?
No. White kidney bean extract can only reduce and delay the digestion and absorption of starch in staple foods, and reduce the rise in blood sugar after meals, so that diabetics can have full meals without high sugar levels. White kidney bean extract is not a substitute for hypoglycemic drugs. People with diabetes should follow their doctor's instructions for diabetes treatment.
25. Do diabetics need to have their blood sugar tested when they consume white kidney bean extract?
Yes. Fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose testing are important monitoring methods for controlling diabetes and complications. Therefore, while consuming white kidney bean extract, blood glucose testing still needs to be performed as usual.
26. How much "extra" starch staple food can be added by consuming white kidney bean extract without eating enough, not high in sugar, and not getting fat?
Generally, 1.0-1.5 grams of white kidney bean extract can inhibit the absorption of 65%-70% of starch in a meal and reduce the rise in blood sugar by about 66% 1 hour after a meal. However, everyone's condition and physical condition are different. , the situation of dietary management is also different, so it depends on each person's specific situation. It is best to decide based on changes in blood sugar after a meal.
