GLUCOMANNAN
A NATURAL FIBER DESIGNED TO HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT

Glucomannan is a soluble, bulk-forming fiber derived from the konjac plant. Each capsule contains the highest quality natural 1000 mg Glucomannan (konjac fiber) per capsule. Glucomannan can be a helpful addition to a weight management plan that includes a healthy diet and exercise program. Our Glucomannan Capsules contain brown rice flour which is a complex carbohydrate that can promote digestion of the capsule in the gut. This can support the release of Glucomannan into the body, promoting potential benefits throughout the day. Glucomannan remains in the digestive system for a couple of hours after ingestion, helping to fill you up and supporting digestion, keeping you from feeling hungry. Ideally, this product should be taken 30 minutes to an hour before a meal. In the context of an energy-restricted diet, this product contributes to weight loss.

Effect of glucomannan on obese patients: a clinical study. An eight-week double-blind study was conducted to test purified glucomannan fiber as a dietary supplement in 20 obese subjects. Glucomannan fiber (from konjac root) or placebo were given in doses of 2 capsules (500 mg) with 250ml of water, 1 hour before each of three meals per day. They were instructed not to change their eating and exercise patterns. Results showed significant weight loss (2.5 kilograms) with glucomannan over an eight-week period. Serum cholesterol and lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly reduced (21.7 and 15.0 mg/dl, respectively) in the glucomannan-treated group. No side effects of glucomannan were reported.

The glucomannan in konjac absorbs exceptional amounts of water in the stomach and intestines and turns into a kind of gel. This gel fills your stomach and intestines and delays the emptying of your stomach. This promotes a feeling of satiety and may reduce your appetite.
