Gregory Chandler, Attorney at Law, on Glucomannan

Glucomannan is a natural, water-soluble dietary fiber from the konjac root. Glucomannan works by absorbing water in the stomach and forming a gel-like substance that carries moisture through your digestive system. It also helps one feel full due to its expansion in the digestive system.

Research shows that glucomannan helps delay gastric emptying, slows the absorption of dietary carbohydrates and triglycerides levels, and acts as a prebiotic. One should take glucomannan one hour before each meal to help one feel semi-full before the meal. The feeling of fullness will lessen the desire to overeat.
