The bean of the White Kidney Bean plant (Phaseolus vulgaris) are most commonly used in the extract. This plant is native to Europe, the Indies and Peru. This extract acts as a starch blocker to block alpha-amylase enzyme.

it has been confirmed that white bean extract acts as a starch blocker which inhibits the activity of α-amylase as a digestive enzyme and inhibits the breakdown of starch into dextrin and glucose.
