OVERVIEW
We’ve set the absolute advantage
Phaseolus vulgaris L. that everyone knows as common bean is among the richest food sources of proteins, amino acids, complex carbohydrates, dietary fibers and oligosaccharides1.
Derived from a single and specific Italian bean variety (Lamon white kidney bean) Beanblock®, a patented purified bean extract supported by extensive data, can positively optimize food consumption, body weight, lipid accumulation and blood sugar1.
The efficacy of our bean’s active ingredients in maintaining body balance is powered by the unique formulation of the triple standardized extract: this is the way Beanblock® contributes to keep a healthy equilibrium.
Beanblock® into action
Employed as supplement in a mixed Mediterranean balanced meal, Beanblock®, successfully affects glucose metabolism2 and shows the potential to balance body weight, glycemia, insulin and C-peptide excursions 2,3,4.
Plus, it modulates ghrelin secretion, a hormone that plays a key role in regulating appetite and, by consequence, in satiety feeling, suggesting a potential use of Beanblock® for maintaining food intake at an healthy level2.
Beanblock® mechanisms of action include the inhibition of alpha-amylase, resulting in a suitable management of carbohydrate metabolism and absorption, and hemagglutinin modulation.1.
Find out how Beanblock®
is one step beyond
The uniqueness of Beanblock® is, no doubt, its triple standardized and purified formulation, empowering the effects of Phaseolus vulgaris bean’s ingredients, alpha-amylase inhibitors and phytohemoagglutinin4.
What’s more: Beanblock® is obtained from a single and specific Italian bean variety (Lamon white kidney bean), that is particularly rich in functional ingredients; the fact that the raw ingredient is strictly selected is a guarantee of the quality of the final product.
