Kidney Bean, The Best Natural Weight Loss Functional Food

Kidney bean, one of the functional food and its supplement may have a profound effect on weight loss to benefit people of overweight and obese, the recent study suggested.

Kidney bean is popular because of its kidney shape, strong flavor, and color that is reddish-brown in nature, genus Phaseolus, belonging to the family Fabaceae. The bean is often an excellent dietary selection with no cholesterol, but a good source of protein and minerals.

According to the Medicus Research LLC, Food with a low glycemic index such as kidney bean consisted of the ability to cause weight loss with doses of 500 to 3000 mg per day, in either a single dose or in divided doses in oral administration.

Dr. Barrett ML, the lead author said, "Experiments conducted incorporating Phase 2 into food(including kidney bean) and beverage products have found that it can be integrated into various products without losing activity or altering the appearance, texture or taste of the food" and " ...has the potential to induce weight loss and reduce spikes in blood sugar caused by carbohydrates through its alpha-amylase inhibiting activity".

Other studies showed that extracts of kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris)suppress appetite to induce weight loss in animals and humans. The efficacy of the extract induced weight loss of obese subjects may be depended on doses intake without promoting toxicity.



The efficacy of weight loss effects is attributed to the function of kidney beans in inhibition of protein enzymes in breaking down the bond in long starch or glycogen molecules, interfering hormone in the regulation of release stored bile into the intestine and the central mechanism(s) in regulating appetite, food intake, and food palatability.


In an animal study, standardized extracts of P. vulgaris and C. scolymus and their combination expressed a significant control of appetite, food intake, and postprandial glycemia.

With all the information collected, one can believe that Kidney Bean and Kidney Bean supplement may represent a successful example of translational research in the nutraceutical field for the production of commercial benefit weight loss products.
