Nutritionists have long known that dietary fibre offers a range of health benefits. However, not all forms of fibre are identical. Glucomannan is a great source of fibre and is a natural ingredient that typically contains no additives or chemicals.

Glucomannan is a source of fibre taken from the root of the Konjac plant. It is a soluble fibre, absorbing water that turns it into a rich gel when in the gut.

It has a significant impact on how full one feels after a meal, what nutrients are absorbed and how rapidly food moves through the digestive system.

This, in turn, can positively impact a number of different health conditions, the most renowned of which is the support that it lends to healthy weight loss. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) “the Panel concludes that a cause-and-effect relationship has been established between the consumption of glucomannan and the reduction of body weight in the context of an energy-restricted diet”

The way that glucomannan absorbs water and turns into a gel means that it can make us feel fuller for longer. This is reinforced by the fact that glucomannan is very low in calories, further helping to restrict the intake of energy.
