Glucomannan is a soluble fibre traditionally used in Asian cooking and medicine for a long time. The powder is vegetarian, vegan, and kosher certified, making it a versatile supplement suitable for many different lifestyles and diets. Thanks to its high degree of purity, you can be confident that you are getting a fibre supplement containing only the active ingredient glucomannan without unnecessary additives.
Active Ingredients 26 Science
The primary ingredient is glucomannan, a complex carbohydrate extracted from the root of the Amorphophallus konjac plant. This soluble fibre has a unique ability to bind large amounts of water, causing it to swell and form a gel-like substance in the gastrointestinal tract. The chemical structure that enables this is a polysaccharide, meaning it is a long chain of sugars that is resistant to breakdown in the digestive system. This property affects the fibre's function in the body and contributes to its role in digestion and bowel function.
Benefits 26 Uses
- Supports regular bowel function by increasing volume in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Suitable for those who want to supplement their diet with a natural and pure source of fibre.
- Appropriate for vegetarians, vegans, and individuals with specific dietary needs due to its pure composition.
- Can be used during periods when extra digestive support is desired, such as during dietary changes or travel.
- Easy to mix into drinks or food, making it simple to incorporate into daily routines.
Usage 26 Dosage
The recommended dose is 2 grams of glucomannan per day, approximately one teaspoon of powder. It is important always to take the powder with plenty of water, at least 1-2 glasses, as the fibre swells and requires fluid to function as intended. The powder can be taken before meals or at any time during the day, but for best results, it is recommended to take it with food or drink. It can also be mixed into smoothies, yoghurt, or other beverages. Be sure to drink enough fluids throughout the day to support the fibre's function and avoid discomfort.
