Phase 2 Decreases Glucose Absorption

Two recent double-blind, human pilot studies indicate that Phase 2 Carb Controller, from Pharmachem Laboratories, may decrease glucose absorption. According to conclusions, the white bean extract demonstrates in vivo efficacy for inhibition of starch absorption and may prove beneficial in weight reduction in individuals consuming large amounts of starch. It also may inhibit starch-induced hyperglycemia in normal and diabetic subjects.

For one study, subjects consumed four slices of white bread and margarine with or without Phase 2. Glucose absorption, as measured by the area under the plasma glucose time curve, was inhibited by 66% in the Phase 2 group. Accordingly, only one-third of the carbohydrates in the bread were absorbed. In addition, glucose returned to baseline earlier than the control.

For the other study, participants consumed a carb-laden frozen dinner with or without Phase 2. Results showed that the Phase 2 group had an earlier return to baseline and that approximately 40% of the carbohydrates were inhibited from absorption. For further information: www.phase2info.com
