Short Description
Multi-purpose, plant-based dietary fiber.
What is glucomannan?
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.*
Why choose Vitacost Glucomannan?
-
Has no unpleasant smell or taste.
-
Has high absorption properties, meaning it can be taken in much smaller quantities than other fibers like pectin or guar gum.
