phaseolamin question
I checked Google Groups and saw the many explanations that
phaseolamin is a protein which is digested in the stomach before it can do its carb-blocking thing in the small intestine. OK, I'm fine with that. But on to the next dumb question: shouldn't somebody make an enteric-coated phaseolamin that passes through the stomach and then becomes bioavailable in the small intestine? Isn't that how enteric-coated aspirin works? It seems this is a well-understood technology. Is it prohibitively expensive? Yet one more dumb question: is it possible to enterically coat something myself, using stuff in my kitchen (or from Home Depot or Radio Shack or Walmart or wherever) to accomplish this? I dunno, candle wax or something like that? It would probably end up being useful for other things. Enquiring minds hope to know, Will P.S. Carmen - glad to hear Sarge is OK. Hope the news stays good. |

Isn't that how enteric-coated aspirin works? It seems this is a well-understood technology. Is it prohibitively expensive? I believe that the protease that breaks down phaseolamin is in the small intestine, not the stomach. That said, I have pretty good success with the stuff. I took 8 of them today before eating a couple of slices of thin crust pizza (I'm maintaining). The way that you can tell if it's having an effect is this: If it gives you lots of farts, it is working. I do believe that at least in my system that a large dose accompanied by lots of water works well. Luckily I work by myself tonight Enquiring minds hope to know, Will --Bryan |
