Glucomannan is a soluble and fermentable dietary fiber from the konjac root plant. Its chemical structure is similar to that of galactomannan (from guar gum) and comprises a polysaccharide chain of glucose and mannose.

Glucomannan can absorb up to 200 times its weight in water and forms a thick, gel-like mass that has been shown to be approximately five times greater than that of guar gum. 

How does glucomannan support health?

• As a water-soluble fiber, glucomannan is appropriate for the relief of occasional constipation.*
• The unique, bulk-forming property of glucomannan makes it a top-performing fiber specifically suited for providing a feeling of satiety (fullness) and promoting healthy weight loss.*
• Glucomannan may be used as part of your diet to help maintain a healthy blood sugar level.*
• Promotes healthy blood lipid metabolism and helps maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range
