How does Phase 2® block starchy foods?
A. During digestion, the body converts carbohydrates in starchy foods into sugar. The body breaks down starchy foods with the help of an enzyme called alpha amylase produced in the pancreas. Sugar calories are either burned through exercise or stored in fat cells for future use. Phase 2 neutralizes alpha amylase before it can convert starch into sugar and then fat. This allows the starch to pass through the system undigested.
