konjac fiber supplement glucomannan root benefits healthy
Glucomannan is a dietary fiber originally derived from the root of konjac, also known as elephant yam. This fiber has a long history as an ingredient in herbal mixtures in Southeast Asia.
Glucomannan is renowned for its ability to absorb incredible amounts of water. It only takes a small amount of glucomannan to turn an entire glass of liquid into jelly. This quality is thought to be the reason for glucomannan’s renowned weight loss benefits.
Does Glucomannan Really Work?
There is no one-size-fits-all weight loss solution for everyone, but research on glucomannan has yielded promising results.
Glucomannan is able to:
- Expand to fill the stomach, resulting in a feeling of fullness and thus reducing the desire to consume more food
- Absorb proteins and fats, much like other sources of dietary fiber.
In one study, researchers treated overweight or obese patients with 500 mg of glucomannan twice a day for six months. The results showed that glucomannan was able to improve weight loss, fat mass, visceral fat, triglycerides, and blood glucose levels, while also improving the metabolic rates of participants.
Another study found that glucomannan added as a supplement to a restricted calorie diet was able to increase weight loss in overweight patients. Patients who didn’t use glucomannan lost less weight.

✔️ May Help Relieve Constipation
✔️ May Protect Against Heart Disease
✔️ May Lower Blood Sugar Levels
