Blocking Enzymes
In 2007, the International Journal of Medical Science published the results of a study suggesting that phaseolamin significantly interferes with the digestion of starch, and that subjects who take phaseolamin were more significantly likely to lose weight than those who take a placebo.
However, some early and "knock-off" forms of the supplement fail to inhibit enzymes reliably; most practitioners recommend only standardized extracts.
Carb Reduction
A study conducted at the University of California theorized that phaseolamin inhibits or delays the digestion of complex starches, thereby reducing the overall weight and waist size of overweight participants.
Though some fat-blocking counterparts such as orlistat (trade name Alli) produce unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects due to their enzyme-blocking activity, most clinical trials have demonstrated a relatively low incidence of diarrhea and stomach pain among phaseolamin users.
Reducing Glycemic Index
Dr. Jay Udani--the medical director of Medicus Research and author of the 2007 University of California study of phaseolin--has suggested that the compound can lower the glycemic index of starchy foods such as white bread. By impairing the body's ability to derive glucose from these foods, phaseolin may prevent abrupt spikes in blood sugar and resulting complications.
Additionally, routine supplementation may prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes in people with reactive hypoglycemia (pre-diabetes).
