Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer is an all-natural bean extract that inhibits alpha-amylase activity, thereby preventing the breakdown of dietary starches into glucose, allowing carbohydrate from starch to pass through the system unchanged.

Alpha-amylase is a digestive enzyme that breaks down starch into smaller carbohydrate units that can subsequently be broken down into the simple sugar, glucose. Glucose is absorbed directly into the bloodstream following its uptake by intestinal cells, resulting in a relatively rapid rise in serum glucose levels. Glucose is used by all cells of the body to fuel metabolism. Excess glucose, however, can be converted into fat and stored in adipose tissue.*

Phase 2 is an amazing, non-stimulant, all-natural nutritional ingredient that is derived from the white kidney bean. It is the first nutritional ingredient that has been clinically & scientifically proven to neutralize starch, found in your favorite foods such as potatoes, breads, pasta. rice, corn and crackers.

Phase 2 is a safe yet powerful nutritional ingredient, clinically studied to reduce the absorption of starch calories. Phase 2™ allows you to enjoy those foods that you love without all the calories.

During the digestive process, your body converts carbohydrates, found in starchy foods such as potatoes and pasta, into sugar. Your body does this by breaking-down the carbohydrate molecule with alpha amylase, an enzyme that is produced in the pancreas.

These sugar calories are either burned off, through exercise, or stored as fat cells for future use. Unfortunately, inactivity means that these stored fat cells accumulate. The result is weight gain.

Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take 1 or 2 Vcaps before any meal containing complex carbohydrates or starches, or as directed by a health care practitioner.

Contraindications: Not to be used by diabetics, hypoglycemics or pregnant/lactating women unless recommended by a health care practitioner. Please discard the inedible freshness packet enclosed.
