Glucomannan Info And Products
Helps With Weight Loss And Maintenance

What is it and where does it come from?

Glucomannan is a water-soluble dietary fiber that's derived from the Konjac root (Amorphophallus konjac). Because glucomannan is found in negligible amounts in food, supplementation is necessary.

What does it do and what scientific studies give evidence to support this?

Glucomannan is a dietary fiber that helps to increase stool bulk by absorbing water. This helps stool pass more easily through the colon, preventing unnecessary stress to the colon.

Because it is a fiber, glucomannan can assist with weight loss and healthy weight maintenance by expanding in the stomach and absorbing fats. Absorbed fats are eliminated from the body and do not undergo digestion, thus nullifying their caloric effect. Also, glucomannan occupies space in the stomach and provides feelings of fullness. You'll eat less when this happens, and this will direct your body to tap into body fat stores for energy. Simply, you'll have a better chance of burning fat and losing weight when you use glucomannan.

Glucomannan is a popular ingredient in nutritional weight-loss supplements because of its weight loss and insulin controlling abilities.

Who needs it and what are some symptoms of deficiency?

Glucomannan is not an essential nutrient and no daily requirement (RDA) exists. No symptoms of deficiency exist.

How much should be taken? Are there any side effects?

Frequent bowl movements are a side-effect of glucomannan at high doses (3-4 grams daily). Assess your tolerance to glucomannan by starting with a dose that is one-half of the recommended dose on the product label. Increase the dosage gradually, if you can tolerate this amount. Do not exceed the maximum dosage listed on the product label.

Do not use glucomannan if you have a disorder of the esophagus as the expanding fiber may act as an obstructing to breathing.

Consult with a physician before using any nutritional supplement.
