Glucomannan (Konjac fibre)

A plant-based, calorie-free water-soluble fibre extracted from konjac root. Glucomannan is a natural dietary fibre that promotes healthy colon function. It is considered to be a ‘bulk-forming laxative’, meaning that it may help produce stools that are easier to pass, with less straining.
Glucomannan may also promote healthier cholesterol: Various studies have shown that glucomannan supplementation supported more healthy levels of triglycerides and total blood and LDL ("bad") cholesterol. In addition, glucomannan may support healthy blood sugar levels, according to the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
