Phase'oLean Forte is a revolutionary, state-of-the-art, scientific breakthrough
in dietary supplements. This unique and authentic product, inhibits the enzyme
alpha-amylase in your digestive tract, which digests the starch contained in
the foods you eat. Requiring many years of development, Phase'OLean
Forte Starch Blocker Tablets can be significant in helping you control your weight.
By blocking alpha-amylase, the enzyme in your digestive tract that breaks down
(digests) the starch molecules contained in the foods you eat, Phase'OLean Forte
helps you reduce starch calories.
Its no secret that excess weight is an escalating
problem in the Western World, both among adults and children. The
number of overweight individuals in the U.S. has increased 66% over
the last decade, and it is estimated that 60% of adults are overweight,
and 20% are seriously overweight. 25% of American children are overweight,
and 10-15% seriously so. It’s a problem that leads to poor
health—and high health care costs. Americans have lowered their
dietary fat intake nearly 10 percent over the last decade, thanks
to a proliferation of low fat products provided by the food industry,
but we’re fatter than ever. Associated with the decrease in
dietary fat intake has been an increase in carbohydrate consumption,
which many are beginning to implicate as a factor in weight gain.
It is important to take your Phase'oLean Forte
Starch Blocker Tablet as you begin to eat your meal (preferably 15-20 minutes before each meal). Do not take the product well into the meal, as that will be too late for the ingredients to work. Its key
ingredients must be present when the starch you eat is present. If
you take it too soon, it will pass through before the starch is present.
If you take it too late, the alpha-amylase enzyme will have already
broken down the starch before the starch blocker gets there. Always
remember this: The alpha-amylase is produced when you first begin
to eat. If you take your Phase'oLean Forte then, you will disable
it at the right time.
There are two major types
of carbohydrates: simple sugars, and complex carbohydrates,
also known as dietary starch. Some complex carbohydrates,
such as a baked potato or white bread are as absorbed and transformed
into blood sugar as rapidly as if they were pure white sugar—such
foods are referred to as “high glycemic index” carbohydrates.
The amount of carbohydrate in a food is referred to as the “glycemic
load”. Foods with both a high glycemic index and a high
glycemic load cause rapid increases in blood sugar, and require
a large amount of insulin to be secreted by the pancreas, in
order to avoid high blood sugar levels. Insulin is the peptide
hormone that facilitates entry of sugar into the body’s
cells—it also stimulates the storage of carbohydrate
calories that are not burned by activity as body fat.
High
protein meals, on the other hand, keep insulin levels low,
and stimulate the secretion of glucagon—which has an
opposing action to insulin, i.e. stimulating breakdown and
burning of fat stores as fuel. Many people have successfully
lost weight on carbohydrate restricted diets, because such
diets lower insulin and raise glucagon levels, but then find
it difficult to stay on them because they become boring,
and because starch side dishes are routinely served with
most cuisine. |
Phaseolamin is the unique ingredient in Phase’oLean Forte, which can help keep absorption of
calories from starchy foods lower, while still allowing people to enjoy some of their favorite foods, such as bread, pasta, potatoes, and popcorn. This development had its roots in an observation made by Venezuelan cattle ranchers, who fed their herds raw kidney beans in the early 1970’s because they were more plentiful at that time than corn and other grains generally used to fatten cattle. These ranchers reported to government scientists that their cattle lost, rather than gained, weight from the kidney bean feed supplement. These findings were verified in laboratory animal feeding experiments, and published by Venezuelan scientists.
Further research at the Howard Hughes Medical Center in Miami Florida, led to the isolation of a purified protein from the raw beans, which preferentially binds to alpha-amylase enzymes and make them unavailable for starch digestion. When the beans are cooked, the protein is denatured, and the alpha-amylase inhibiting activity disappears.
The discovery of alpha-amylase inhibition
by phaseolamin was subsequently marketed as so called “starch blocker” dietary
supplements in the 1980’s, but low potency led to inconsistent results.
More recently, higher potency extracts have been developed, so that
1000 mg (1 gram) of purified kidney bean protein, under laboratory
conditions, inhibits enough alpha-amylase to block the digestion
of 2250 calories (which represents over a pound of starch). When
dietary starch is not digested, and the calories therefore not absorbed
in the upper digestive tract, the undigested starch moves to the
colon, where it is partially digested by the colon microflora (bacteria).
When consumed with an effective alpha-amylase inhibitor, dietary
starch may therefore become a form of dietary fiber (the definition
of which being indigestible plant polysaccharides that are partially
digested by colonic bacteria to form short chain fatty acids, which
contribute to the health of the colon).
In clinical studies, 1500 mg. of the extract contained in Phase’O Lean Forte blocked 66% of the calories contained in 4 slices of white bread, compared to a placebo. In a double blind placebo controlled
weight loss study conducted in Italy with the same extract, 30 participants taking the placebo lost an average of .4 pounds over 30 days, with no change in body fat percentage, whereas the 30 participants taking the purified kidney bean extract lost an average of 6.4 pounds, with a 10% decrease in body fat, and no change in lean body mass. All participants were counseled to eat similar diets by dieticians, and maintained their usual levels of physical activity. In all studies to date, this extract has proved to be safe and well tolerated.
As part of a healthy weight loss program
that includes exercise and a sensible diet based on whole natural foods,
Phase’O Lean Forte may help many people look and feel better, and improve their overall
health by helping them maintain a healthier weight. Phaseolamin kidney bean protein extract will not block the digestion of sugars (even though they too are carbohydrates), fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, or phytonutrients; only the calories of long chain polysaccharides present as dietary starch, which are digested by the salivary and pancreatic alpha-amylase
enzymes, are blocked by phaseolamin, the active ingredient in Phase’O Lean Forte. The phaseolamin contained in Phase’O Lean Forte is rapidly released in the stomach by Life Plus’s proprietary tableting process. Two Phase’O Lean Forte tablets supply 1000 mg (1 gram) of phaseolamin, purified from raw white kidney beans.
EACH TWO TABLET SERVING CONTAINS: 500 Mg
of Kidney Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) extract,
a uniquely extracted and processed protein concentrate which may
inhibit or delay the digestion
of dietary starch.
Based on laboratory studies, each two tablet
serving may affect (block) more than 1000
calories of dietary starch through amylase inhibition. Differences
between controlled laboratory
conditions and each individual's digestive situation may influence
overall dietary benefit. †
DIRECTIONS: It is important to take
your Phase'oLean Forte Starch Blocker Tablet before each meal containing
starch. Take two tablets (preferably 15-20
minutes) before each meal containing carbohydrates from dietary starch.
More tablets can be taken
half way through the meal if desired..
These special “Soft Tabs” are formulated
to ensure rapid breakdown when taken, therefore, some breakage may
occur.
