What is glucomannan?
Glucomannan is a hydro-solubilizing fiber obtained from the roots of the Cognac (Amorphophallus konjac) plant, whose structure is composed of D-mannose and D-glucose units in the ratio of 1.6: 1. This polysaccharide swells in the presence of water, increasing its volume by up to 200 times its initial volume. How does it work? The mechanism of action of glucomannan is based on the fact that in the presence of water it swells, forming a gel structure. In this way it contributes to a slower gastric emptying, creating a feeling of satiety over a long period of time, which results in reduced food intake (calories) throughout the day and preventing overeating. Also, glucomannan contributes to the reduction of total and LDL cholesterol. The mechanism of action is based on the reduction of intestinal resorption of cholesterol, as well as the stimulation of its transformation into bile acids, which are further excreted from the body. Currently, glucomannan is the only substance for which an approved health statement for weight loss by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is available. Adults:
1 bag 3 times a day. Dissolve the contents of the sachet in 100 ml of
warm water and drink 30-60 minutes before a meal with 1-2 glasses of
water. |
