Glucomannan (Konjac Fibre) is a dietary fibre, formed from the root of the konjac plant. Glucomannan is used for constipation, weight loss and a range of other conditions. Peak Supps Glucomannan Powder is a natural, popular appetite suppressant and weight loss supplement.
Glucomannan has an extremely high fibre content and as a result, the dosage is lower in comparison with other fibre-based supplements. Each 1g serving provides 0.82g of fibre. Glucomannan works by absorbing water in the stomach and intestines and expands by up to 50 times its weight, this produces a bulky fibre that treats constipation.
With a daily intake of 4g, Glucomannan contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. Also, Glucomannan in the context of an energy-restricted diet contributes to weight loss. This can be achieved with a daily intake of 3g split into three doses of 1g, together with 1-2 glasses of water before meals.
