Phase 2

Phase 2 offers you the enhanced carb burning power you crave. Phase 2 is not a traditional weight loss supplement and by that we mean it does not come in capsule or beverage form. Phase 2 is actually an ingredient that is a patented form of the white kidney bean extract, which is often called phaseolus vulgaris and is used to block a certain amount of carbs from being absorbed into the body. The science and theory behind Phase 2 suggests that this product is able to block said carbohydrates from being absorbed by blocking the enzyme amylase from converting carbohydrates into sugar.

The Good

As carbohydrates are a necessary nutritional element and we can’t realistically eliminate all of them from our diet if we want to remain energetic and healthy Phase 2 may be a worthwhile way to help us limit the amount of carbs that are stored on our frames, especially the less healthy ones that are hard to avoid all the time. For instance the carbohydrates found specifically in pastas and desserts that are carbohydrate and sugar dense.

The Bad

Sadly, there have been no conclusive scientific data collected on the effectiveness of either the product Phase 2 or the original phaseolus vulgaris. One UCLA study measured weight loss, inches lost, energy, and decrease in triglycerides. This study was not statistically relevant as there were too few test subjects the results varied to an extreme degree between test subjects. Since there has been no confirmation of Phase 2’s purported abilities we have no choice but to remain skeptical.

The Skinny

The fact is that there isn’t enough information surrounding phaseolus vulgaris or it’s patented from, Phase 2. We have no way of evaluating this products effectiveness as it hasn’t been researched enough. It may very well be an amazing carb blocker but until there is some data to confirm its relevance we do not recommend this Phase 2.
