Low-carb weight loss programs benefit from newly available natural supplement … Science reveals a new carbohydrate—neutralizing nutrient that helps make carb-cutting and weight loss easier and more achievable!

Better Nutrition, Sept, 2004

IF YOU'RE ONE OF THE MILLIONS of Americans who are currently dieting or are unsuccessfully battling your weight, a unique and newly available supplement shows promise in helping to make your weight loss goals much more successful and easier to attain.

Of course, you can't cheat Mother Nature by eating anything you want; but there is a new discovery, backed by real science, that seems to violate the laws of biochemistry by helping you to eat some of the delicious starch and sugar carbohydrate foods that are restricted on most diets--and still lose weight.

Helps Solve The Main Weight Loss Obstacle

The bottom line to any successful way to losing weight is to consume fewer calories, but the main problem is always compliance--staying on a weight loss program.

Although this newly available science may seem to conflict with Mother Nature, it actually is part of a process of nature that works with the body's natural functions, instead of against them like most weight loss supplements do. It can help you enjoy some typical diet-restricted foods without really going off or ruining the results of your diet program. Ironically, this discovery comes from a common everyday food ...

Nature's Way of Protecting Its Food--Found to Be Man's Way Of Aiding Weight Loss!

It has been known for over 50 years that certain foods in their natural state, like raw wheat, contain small amounts of a certain protein that binds to the receptor site of alpha-amylase, the enzyme in our bodies that digests starch carbohydrates. This protein prevents the alpha-amylase enzyme from breaking down or digesting the starch for a short period, subsequently neutralizing the starch. The starch is then simply passed through the digestive system in whole-molecule form, without releasing its calories. The starch calories remain undigested, the same way fiber does, and are eliminated.

Enzyme-neutralizing proteins are protective in nature as they help protect food sources from insects and rodents. Since this same process happens when these species eat foods that contain them, like raw wheat, the insects or rodents don't get enough calories to live off it, so they tend to avoid these types of foods.

Thus, enzyme neutralizers are a simple defense mechanism that nature has provided for certain plants to survive. Although this process has always occurred in nature, only recently has man discovered it as a means to aid weight loss.

Improved Starch Neutralizers Finally Available To The Public

After careful research, scientists isolated a protein concentrate from the white kidney bean, called Phaseolus vulgaris, which is the alpha-amylase neutralizing enzyme responsible for preventing starch carbohydrates from breaking down. It has been shown to be safe, and when initially studied, some weight loss results occurred.

Between 1980 and 2003, research by some of the top medical organizations and universities resulted in over 42 studies on starch neutralizers and their effects. The Mayo Clinic even completed 13 peer-reviewed studies, which were published in scientific journals, including The New England Journal of Medicine.

Recently, a team of American scientists and researchers ([DELTA]) were able to produce a more potent, concentrated, pure and stable form of the nutrient from white kidney beans known as the Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer (or Phase 2). Of equal importance, they authorized clinical studies and testing for it as a weight loss aid.

Preliminary Clinical Studies Show Promising Results

In a preliminary clinical study, the Phase 2 ingredient has shown impressive results in helping to reduce weight and body composition.

Study: Weight Loss and Body Composition

One of several studies with promising results of the Phase 2 ingredient includes a recent study from Milano, Italy. In this double-blind study, 60 normal, healthy human volunteers--males and females, ages 20 to 45 years--were enrolled. All patients were between eleven to thirty-three pounds over-weight and utilized 500 mg of Phase 2 for one meal a day.

Volunteers were divided into two equivalent groups (by sex, age and weight) and were then asked to take a single starch-neutralizing tablet or placebo before a meal rich in complex carbohydrates. The volunteers maintained their regular and normal everyday habits (such as sports or any other habits that could affect the study).

At the end of the thirty-day study, it was shown that participants given the actual Phase 2 ingredient experienced a weight loss of 6.5 pounds. Such weight loss led to a 20.45 percent reduction of fat body mass, without significant modifications of lean body mass. Results also included 3.44 percent reduction of waistline; 1.39 percent reduction of hip circumference; and 1.44 percent reduction of thigh circumference. In comparison, the placebo group lost only 0.47 percent (less than 1 pound for a 200 pound person) of total body weight, and without any significant changes in fat, or lean body mass, or any reduction in the other areas of measurement.
