White Kidney Bean Extract (Phaseolamin Extract)
White Kidney Bean Extract, derived from the seeds of the common bean *Phaseolus vulgaris*, is standardized to contain specific levels of the active enzyme inhibitor **Phaseolamin**. It is celebrated for its powerful ability to block the alpha-amylase enzyme, preventing the body from breaking down and absorbing carbohydrates, making it a star ingredient for weight management, blood sugar balance, and metabolism-focus formulations.
What is White Kidney Bean Extract?
White Kidney Bean Extract is sourced from the dried seeds of the premium Phaseolus vulgaris L. plant. While commonly consumed as food, this distinct extract is rich in a specific glycoprotein known as Phaseolamin. Unlike standard bean powders, it is standardized to guaranteed levels of Phaseolamin (often measured in activity units or a specific percentage like 1% – 10% HPLC). The extract typically appears as a light yellow-brown to white fine powder.
Acclaimed as a premier functional ingredient for metabolic support, White Kidney Bean Extract works by binding to and inhibiting alpha-amylase, an enzyme responsible for breaking down complex carbohydrates into absorbable simple sugars. As a professional Phaseolamin Extract supplier, we ensure rigorous quality control to deliver a pure, potent ingredient suitable for weight management, blood sugar control, and functional formulations.
Functional Characteristics & Technical Features
- Carbohydrate Blocking: Directly inhibits alpha-amylase activity, significantly reducing the absorption of starches.
- Weight Management: Promotes natural weight loss by creating a “starch blocker” effect, reducing calorie intake from carbs.
- Blood Sugar Balance: Helps stabilize post-meal blood sugar levels by slowing carbohydrate metabolism.
- Standardized Quality: Precisely standardized to contain guaranteed levels of Phaseolamin (HPLC or specific activity units), ensuring batch-to-batch consistency.
- Safe & Natural: Sourced from high-quality common beans using strictly controlled extraction processes, maintaining a clean label profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Phaseolamin?
Phaseolamin is the primary pharmacological marker in White Kidney Bean. It is a powerful glycoprotein responsible for binding to and inhibiting alpha-amylase.
Will this work for sugar or simple carbs?
Phaseolamin primarily works on complex carbohydrates (starches like potatoes, pasta, rice, bread) by blocking their initial breakdown. It is less effective on simple sugars that are already absorbable.
Is your extract suitable for vegetarian/vegan formulations?
Yes, our White Kidney Bean Extract is 100% plant-based and suitable for vegan products.
