Can only 1 gram of Dietrine truly "block" 2250 starch calories in Human Beings?

Early studies in the laboratory, not in humans, have shown that Dietrine reduces absorption in the region of 2,250 starch calories. Studies in human starch absorption illustrate that Dietrine has lessened absorption of starch calories by up to 66%. However, individual people could experience diverse results due to body type, lifestyle and eating habits.

2.

Does Dietrine in point of fact block or inhibit carbs? It sounds as though it might be dangerous!

Dietrine is considered a temporary alpha amylase "neutralizer". Alpha amylase is the enzyme that digests starch. Dietrine temporarily "neutralizes", the enzyme allowing some dietary starch to pass through the body undigested, like fiber. Since it stays in the GI tract, Dietrine does not enter the blood stream or affect the body's organs. No adverse side effects have been observed in several human studies.

Phase2 (Phaseolamin 2250): What is it?  

Dietrine is a non-stimulant, standardized, clinically-studied, all-natural starch neutralizer and is a first of its kind. Using proprietary processes developed by Pharmachem Laboratories it is an extracted from a part of the Great Northern white kidney bean.

4.

How does Dietrine really work?

Dietrine neutralizes the digestive enzyme, alpha amylase, and can temporarily reduce the caloric influence of starch rich foods.

5.

Is there any scientific evidence that shows that Dietrine is effective?

In a recent study in California it was demonstrated that patients taking Phase 2 brand bean extract lost almost half a pound in a one week period, equalling 3.8 lb, over eight weeks, on average, or more than 200% than subjects a on placebo dose. Patients taking the starch neutralizer also slimmed down 1.5 inches in the waist, on average, or 43% more than those on the placebo.

6.

What negative or side effects does the use of Dietrine have ?

No adverse side effects were clinically observed in the starch absorption study. During the weight loss study participants reported “good tolerability,” Although some people may suffer excess gas.

7.

How much Dietrine should be taken?

The clinical studies suggest effectiveness at a dosage level between 500 and 1500 mgs, taken before eating a starchy meal. As metabolisms vary in different people, they may need to experiment on themselves to discover the right level of dosage. One capsule should be taken five minutes before a meal twice daily.

8.

Is it necessary to change my diet while using Dietrine ?

Dietrine should enable you to eat more the starch-rich foods. This does not mean you should eat all the carbs you desire! Any consistent, healthy weight control program should incorporate a exercise and a sensible, balanced diet.

9.

How much weight might I be expected to lose in a month when using Dietrine ?

People differ so results will vary. In a 60-subject study for weight loss, those making use of Dietrine lost, on average, 6.45 lbs. in 30 days, compared participants on placebo who averaged less than 1 lb. This result is in line with physicians’ recommendations for steady, safe carbohydrate control. During an 8-week 50 subject clinical trial performed at Northridge Hospital (UCLA), participants averaged a loss of between 1/2 - 2/3 of a pound per week. Some participants reported substantially more weight loss. Notably during this period the subjects' triglycerides were noticeably reduced also (see clinical studies on this site).

10.

Do I require a prescription for Dietrine ?

Dietrine is sold as a nutritional supplement and therefore no prescription is required.

11.

How does the new Dietrine differ from the older Starch Blockers or other bean extracts?

Phase 2 has been studied clinically several times, and it has proven to be efficient for humans. Dietrine is a new, very concentrated, standardized extract made from
a specific part of Great Northern white kidney beans, through a proprietary process. The amylase inhibitors of the 1980's, and standard bean extracts, are regular whole bean powders or extracts with very little or no clinical background.

How Will I Know That Dietrine is Working for Me?

This is the most common question we get and a very good one. We have made a very large investment in clinical studies to prove that this product works. And we have made this data available for you on this website. Please rest assured that Dietrine is working if taken properly. Understand that their is no magic pill when it comes to losing weight. If we are consuming the same amount of calories that we are burning, then our weight will stay the same. However, Phase2 has been clinically proven to significantly reduce the amount of starch calories our body will absorb thereby allowing us to enjoy more food without gaining weight (within reason), or to lose weight.
