Detailed description
Kidney bean pods, Phaseolus vulgaris, also known as common bean pods, have been used for centuries in traditional practices for their wealth of bioactive compounds and their contribution to general well-being.
These pods contain flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins and saponins, which are responsible for their antioxidant and soothing properties. These compounds help protect cells against free radicals and support natural metabolic functions.
Traditionally, kidney bean pods have been known to support kidney and urinary functions. In addition, recent studies have shown their value in supporting natural glycemic regulation mechanisms and their beneficial effect on lipid balance.
