NOW Foods Phase 2 500mg 120 Veg Capsules

NOW® Phase 2® is a clinically studied, non-stimulant white kidney bean extract (Phaseolus vulgaris) often called a 'starch neutralizer.'* It can help delay the breakdown of dietary starches by limiting the action of the digestive enzyme alpha-amylase, so the absorption and utilization of carbohydrates from starch may be reduced.* Studies show that, used to complement a weight-loss program that includes a sensible diet and exercise, Phase 2® may help you reach your weight-management goals.* Take it before starchy or complex-carbohydrate meals — a plant-based tool for a carbohydrate-conscious routine.*

Frequently asked questions

What is a 'starch neutralizer'?
Phase 2® limits the action of alpha-amylase, the enzyme that breaks down dietary starch, which may delay and reduce the absorption of carbohydrates from starchy foods — hence 'starch neutralizer.' It's non-stimulant and derived from white kidney beans.*

Does it work on its own?
No — studies show it may help reach weight-management goals when used to complement a weight-loss program that includes a sensible diet and exercise. It's a tool, not a standalone solution.*

When do I take it?
Take 3 capsules before any meal containing complex carbohydrates or starches, so it's present as those foods are digested.*
