White Kidney Beans have been used in traditional medicine systems for the treatment of a variety of ailments. The only scientifically verified benefit of white kidney bean seeds is the ability of white kidney beans to act as a starch blocker - a blocker of the alpha-amylase enzyme. Alpha-amylase plays a key role in the digestion of foods. As a digestive enzyme, alpha-amylase is required for the metabolism of starchy carbohydrates. When you consume starchy carbohydrate (so-called complex carbohydrates), they must be broken down into smaller units known as dextrins. Dextrins are then further broken down into glucose. Glucose serves a number of purposes. It is either used for immediate energy requirements, is stored in muscle tissue or the liver as glycogen (in that order), or is shuttled to the liver, converted into lipids, and stored as body fat. ebay.co.uk/itm/371179906458?var=&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
