Product details
Glucomannan is milky white or light brown-yellow powder, basically odourless and tasteless, it can be dispersed in acidic hot water or cold water, heating or mechanical stirring can improve its solubility, adding a certain amount of alkali to its solution, it can form a thermally stable sol, and the consistency of its aqueous solution is very high.
Glucomannan is a natural polymer water-soluble polysaccharide, its molecules have a number of -OH, for hydrophilic compounds, easily soluble in water, but insoluble in methanol, ether and other organic solvents, and its solubility is good, the absorbency can be up to its own quality of about 100 times.
Konjac glucomannan has unique gel properties, in non-alkaline conditions can be compounded with carrageenan, xanthan gum, starch, etc. to produce a strong synergistic effect, so that the solution viscosity increases.

Uses of Glucomannan powder.
Glucomannan is a natural dietary fibre extracted from konjac root, which has a variety of effects and functions.
Firstly, it can promote intestinal peristalsis, stimulate the intestinal wall, enhance the excretion of intestinal substances, and help relieve constipation.
Secondly, glucomannan has a swelling effect, after absorbing water in the form of a paste, its volume can be expanded by 30 to 80 times, so taking it before meals and drinking more water can give people a sense of satiety, which helps to control diet and weight loss.
In addition, glucomannan is also able to reduce blood sugar and lipid levels, which is more effective in light and medium-sized non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, obesity or inability to control diet. At the same time, glucomannan is also able to stabilise suspension food, gel food, etc. has a wide range of uses.
It should be noted that when diabetic patients originally using sulfonylureas switch to glucomannan, there are a few cases of rebound phenomenon.
In conclusion, glucomannan is a kind of natural dietary fibre, has a variety of effects and functions, but need to be reasonable according to individual circumstances.
Pharmacological Effect of Glucomannan powder.
Glucomannan is a natural dietary fibre obtained from konjac root.
It has a variety of pharmacological effects, including adsorption of excessive sugar, salt and fat ingested into the body and their elimination; enhancement of intestinal peristalsis to promote the excretion of intestinal substances; reduction of body weight and fat mass, and improvement of blood lipids and inflammation.
In addition, glucomannan can also relieve constipation by shortening the retention time of faeces in the intestines, forming large stools and promoting defecation.
For people with mild to moderate non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, obesity, or inability to control their diet, the use of glucomannan can achieve better results.
It should be noted that glucomannan is not a weight loss drug, and its principle of action is to give a sense of satiety by absorbing water from the abdomen, promoting the formation of larger, faster, and more frequent faeces, thus achieving weight loss.
Function of Bulk Glucomannan powder.
Promote weight loss: Glucomannan absorbs water in the stomach and swells, increasing satiety and reducing food intake, thus helping to control weight.
Improve digestive health: As a dietary fiber, Glucomannan can promote intestinal peristalsis, relieve constipation, and improve intestinal health.
Regulate blood sugar: It can delay the absorption of carbohydrates and help stabilize blood sugar levels, which is suitable for diabetics or those with unstable blood sugar.
Lower cholesterol: Glucomannan can bind bile acids and promote their excretion from the body, thereby lowering blood cholesterol levels.
Support cardiovascular health: It helps prevent cardiovascular diseases by lowering cholesterol and improving blood lipid levels.
Prebiotic effect: It promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines and improves the balance of intestinal microecology.
