The effectiveness of this product hinges on the 'Kidney Bean Pod Glycerite Liquid Extract' which acts as an alpha-amylase inhibitor. While kidney bean extracts generally show promise in reducing carbohydrate absorption and glycemic response, direct high-quality clinical trials specifically on kidney bean *pod glycerite liquid extracts* are limited.
